Mugging - Woodwarde Rd / Lordship Lane


Tipperary

Recommended Posts

I've just move to ED from Brixton and find the EDF great for news on the area - unfortunately my first contribution is re a mugging outside the front of my flat (corner Woodwarde Rd and Lordship) just after midnight last night where a girl was attempting to rob another girl. I heard the screams and ran downstairs where the melee had moved over outside the Plough - by the time i got there a bus driver had stopped and was holding the attacker while the local vicar called the police.


I know there have been a few mentions of female attackers recently and i'm just wondering if this girl may have been one of that gang. The poor girl who was being attached was covered in blood and only for her screams and concerned passers by may have faired worse.


On a lighter note it was a funny way to meet my new neighbors, coming out of their houses, most "tooled up" ready to help the victim.

There seems to have been quite a bit of trouble around the Plough area this weekend. An attack at costcutter and then this mugging. I also noticed some cops apprehending some kids at the bus stop on Saturday morning. I wonder if they are somehow related or the same group of kids.

    • I believe around 57% of the 5,538 people who were part of the self selecting sample making up the original consultation, opposed the LTN. So just over 3,000 people. This was around 3 years ago now. I think there’s something like 40,000+ living across se22 and SE21 🤷‍♂️  The LTN is a minority interest at best. Whilst it’s an obsession for a small number on the transport thread who strongly oppose it, I suspect most locals quietly approve of the improvements made to that junction. …and we still haven’t heard who has supposedly been pressurising the emergency services and how (are we seriously going with the far left / the commies)? Is anyone willing to stand up and support the 'One' claim that people are partially covering their plates and driving through the filters due to inadequate signage? Again, it all sounds a little ridiculous / desperate. Feels like it may be time for them to start coming to terms with the changes.
    • Okay Earl, of those 'consulted' how many voices were in favour of the junction and how many against? Were there more responses in favour or more against? This local junction change is being driven by Southwark Labour Councillors- not as you assert by Central Govt. Also, if consultations are so irrelevant as indicators of meaningful local support in the way you seem to imply, why do organisations like Southwark Cyclists constantly ask their members to respond to all and any consultation on LTN's and CPZ's?  
    • You could apply the same argument to any kind of penalty as an effective deterrent.  Better than doing nothing. 
    • Check the link I provided above. It gives a very full account of where the push for LTNs came from, (in brief, central government). The consultation did not show that the majority of local residents were against the LTN. Not for the first time, you’ve confused a ‘consultation’ with a ‘referendum’. The outcome of local elections (which many opposed to LTNs excitedly promoted as a referendum on the scheme at the time…until they lost), suggests they are actually quite popular. All the polling on LTNs generally, also shows strong majority support across London.
