For my own two cents worth, you want to do something that is very clear and very public. Some time ago, under the Thatcher government someone took exception to the rising levels of unemployment and highlighted the figures on a building over the river from the houses of parliament in order to embaress the prime minister. That person was the Mayor of London (Red Ken) and he was successful, the Conservatives were embaressed.
By all means send letters but contrary to Tiswas' opinion, they can be filed away, very easily if the London council is doing anything at all about the matter and they are. What you need is the kind of support that is unignorable. What is really needed here is a well marketed campaign with a clear plan of action and a result in mind. You can't just go up to a council and say we don't like it, make it stop because they can't and therefore don't have to try.
