Completely agree with those who are concerned at the tone of the 'disgusted of SE23' posts.

The first questions that came into my mind was 'did the shop owner put the rubbish there, or was it the builder, and, if the builder, what had actually been agreed between him and the shop owner regarding the disposal? (I have had builders walk off the job, by the way, so one develops a sense for these things.)

Frankly, the people who make such a good job of running that cafe are far too intelligent to do anything so stupid as to dump builder's rubbish in the street opposite their premises.

While things are improving in our town centre the commercial situation here is not without its fragilities. Intemperate criticism of a worthwhile local business doesn't help anyone, and I would counsel a little more thought before posting potentially defamatory material
