Hello,


Just wondered if anyone else had seen a guy hanging around this bit of the area? My neighbour just called to say he'd come up our back stairs and was peering into all our windows before she interrupted him, when he stared at her and after a bit walked away again, but had another good look on his way out. Black bomber, shaved head, shorts. She thought there was talk of a few burglaries up and down the Lane, so I thought it was worth mentioning.

A guy with a similar description knocked on my door on Hindmans Road 20mins ago asking if I knew a Delia, because his sister was visiting her and he was looking to pick her up but couldn't find her. I couldn't help so said goodbye. I watched from the window and thought it strange he didn't knock on any other doors but walked off to the end of the road quite purposefully. Anyway have called the community police and let them know after reading these other posts.

I think you should leave one with the fashion police too (bomber jacket & shorts!) not a good look

My boyfriend and I bought a place on Dunstans Road just over a year ago and we've had one attempted break in and two actual break ins. I will definitely keep me eyes open for this guy! Neighbours are hugely helpful when it comes to deterring burglaries, esp since the police station closed.

Knocking on doors is a classic way to establish if someojne is in or not.


People are most likely to be burgled in the first 6 months of moving in UNLESS they accelerate getting to know neighbours - ask them round for a drink, get involved with a Big Lunch event if it's happening on your street.


And if you see something odd I would suggest the first port of call is the Police 101 no emergecny number. It operates 24/7 whereas the neighbourhood Police don't operate 24/7.

We get so many chuggers and sellers round our way, if the door bell rings and I'm not expecting anyone/anything I generally look out the upstairs window to see who's there.

That old chestnut - everyone has a mobile phone these days, so it's even less plausible than it used to be.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By Bumpkin · Posted

      My son’s primary school hatched duck eggs, probably under this scheme around 12 years ago.  We were all very upset to hear that 2 of the (5 year old) boys had knocked the incubator over & all eggs smashed.   feeling a lot less sad about that now!

      Cyclists taking over paths!!

      By malumbu · Posted

      What would I do about cyclists?  The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal.  Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles.  I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road.   More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets.  If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.

      I know a lot of experts in the field and getting a franchise was a license to print money, that is why Virgin were so happy to spend lots of dosh challenging government ten years ago when they lost the West Coast franchise.  This will not be overnight, rather than when the franchise has come to the end. Government had previously taking over the operator of last resort when some TOCs screwed up. Good, at last some clear blue water between the parties.  Tories said they were going to do a halfway house, but I've not noticed.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_British_Railways   : "On 19 October 2022, Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan announced that the Transport Bill which would have set up GBR would not go ahead in the current parliamentary session.[15] In February 2023, Transport Secretary Mark Harper re-affirmed the government's commitment to GBR and rail reform.[16] The 2023 King's speech announced the progression of a draft Rail Reform Bill which would enable the establishment of GBR, although it has not been timetabled in the Parliamentary programme.[5] The Transport Secretary Mark Harper later told the Transport Select Committee that the legislation was unlikely to reach Royal Assent within the 2023-2024 parliamentary session.[17]"
