Uber, say it ain’t so (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Uber drivers are allegedly urinating in people’s back gardens and leaving plastic bags full of poo by the side of the road.

Many people have wondered how exactly the drivers take a comfort break if they’re far from home.

Residents in Stanwell, near Heathrow in Surrey, claim to have the answer.

Drivers clog the streets all day as they wait for pick-ups, they allege, weeing in public and doing their business in carrier bags which they leave in the street.


@uber just removed one of your drivers from my garden, he decided it was toilets amazing the threats you get when you tell them it's not — Stefane ashworth (@StefaneAshworth) January 8, 2016

Belinda Reed, told MailOnline: ‘We’ve counted as many as 42 cars in one evening on our road and you can map those numbers to the Uber app as waiting for pick ups at Heathrow.



‘They leave engines running, lights on, get out of their cars and talk in groups in the middle of the road, urinate up against garden walls and leave all their litter from takeaways.’

She said they make the road ‘impassable’ because of double parking, and get aggressive citing their rights to be there when neighbours ask them to move so they can park outside their own homes.

Belinda, aged 46, said this got even worse at peak flight times, with cars arriving as early as 5am.

When she emailed Uber, a customer service worker told her: ‘Those drivers are independent contractors. There (sic) aim is to be in the right place at the right time.

‘By your neighborhood being a high traffic area, this is to be expected.’

Other residents took to Twitter to complain about the drivers.

An Uber spokesman told the paper: ‘We take any reports of antisocial behaviour very seriously, and what has been alleged is clearly unacceptable. ‘Whilst this issue is not confined to Uber, we would urge residents to report such behaviour so we can take the appropriate action. ‘We are working closely with Heathrow and hope to have a robust solution in place in the near future.’
