Big Thank you to the police and everyone who watches out: "Neighbourhood Watch" Re: Mugging Tyrrell Road new Posted by gm99 Today, 02:09PM The most effective 'police' are often members of the public, given that the formal police largely rely on public information to guide their activities. In the cases described above, it would, for example, almost certainly make a difference if everyone spotting suspicious activity reported it straight away (dial 101 if it's not an emergency). If you see someone acting suspiciously and can observe them without putting yourself at risk, specific details of clothing and shoes can be very useful to the police (and make sure that only the right people get stopped and asked to account for themselves). E.g. a case I know of, having done some work alongside the police in another part of London, where a rapist was initially identified as a suspect on the basis of his baseball cap, which was distinctive and had been reported earlier by a PCSO in an intelligence report. You may also find that calling the local Safer Neighbourhoods police team directly can be helpful, as they tend to be have the best local knowledge and be most responsive to local concerns - and you can generally talk to someone with a name and face rather than a more distant call centre.

What are personal alarms and were they free from the police?

Upland Road has a Neighbourhood Watch group. PM me if you want your name added to the mailing list. The local Sergeant is Stewart Turnbull and contact for non emergency is: [email protected] 020 8721 2447. The main thing for NW is to not turn away if you see something. Don't think you're noisy if you're curious. Proper locks and windows. Lights that go on.

Absolutely agree with your description of the Sainsbury's 357-365 precedence for future developers to see the Council as a push over for what suits them

yes, you are correct in that observation rah rah

On one occasion I had a No. 12 driver race and over take me down the south 1/2 of Peckham Rye. Very purposefully he gunned around me slammed in front braked hard and stopped at his next pick-up. Poor him (and long suffering you lot) he didn't kill me or knock me off my bike. His job unfortunately made me the "winner" of his lethal game. In a city, a cyclist enjoying the fresh air and great outdoors, more often than not leaves a driver with many horses beneath his bonnet in the dust.

I was at the south end of Exhibition Road, South Kensington Tube. There's a "Dutch" scheme in operation: cars, pedestrians, fountains, restaurants, cyclists. It all added up to a great deal of money and beauty and esprit de corps flowing plentifully in all directions. The cars were going about 5mph. So let any politician who's afraid to be counted as voting for 20mph stand up to be counted down at the next election. As was noted somewhere above: pass me at speed and I'll see you not so far up ahead... in a city at least. Just slow down as the song says. Make the cars do 5mph on LSL and let the pedestrians walk in the street.

Let's go with it Fish! Lady, Henry jump on ! Let's push that door wide wide open: Cycling on the Pavement Here we come with a vengeance! Take the format: Motorway Cops BBC1. Doesn't get top ratings but it is very watchable. They pull over drivers who aren't quite right and they open a Pandora's Box of grey area wrong doings and often more black than grey. Gritty stuff all starting with the abuse of a multi tonne vehicle. But no I am not digressing from cycling on the pavement. I here propose exactly the same format to any entertainment provider and there are hundreds in East Dulwich and more than a few I'm sure follow these threads: Pavement Cops. Scenario (and Fish you have something to do with film and I bet you've got contacts... Fish this idea is for you gratis from me. I lay no claim to it or the viewers and money and fame that will come from it) scenario: plain clothes coppers hang about with cameras and snap cyclists. You're already doing it see picture you've attached above. The law's clear, certain behaviour is illegal and there is absolutely a mandate to stop certain behaviour (I watched a woman drop a chewed and sucked pear on the bus last night. disgusting. illegal. and from her attire someone who no doubt felt herself morally superior to me and others. take. her. out. in case you think I joke I joke not I hate litterers. But I digress) SNAP them. Stop Them. Frisk them. Just like Motorway Cops. Highly watchable real life drama and no doubt it can be edited like Motorway Cops to often show the real hidden criminal beneath the velcro.

I'm not going to enter a long debate because it's just my opinion. You can fantasise that raising children is free, but it's not. It's a lot of time and yes, money. A family in northern India was in the news because they're illiterate farmers but by a twist of genes they have genius children. They live in one room, sold their land and first the boy and now the girl (!) who's smarter than her brother is being supported by every penny the parents have. India gives nothing and only the parents have brought this girl (13 and in a Masters of Bio-Chemistry programme because she's too young to be a doctor yet) through an unforgiving system. The idea that the state and a school and a teacher is going to do everything there is to do for your children and you don't have to step forward to fill in the cracks is just not correct. And we live in a great country by world standards no doubt about it. This is equally true if your kids are at state school or private. Schools cannot completely nurture your child without your vigilance. And that doesn't mean just complaining to the school in all cases where your child needs something extra. Sometimes you have to give them the extra yourself and as a parent you'd better have a good reason not to help your child max their potential. In my opinion.

Emmanuel also tutored my son during his last year of A levels in Maths, Further Maths and Physics. My boy's able but sometimes for different reasons you need help. Emmanuel helped my son deliver on his final exams and he's now in his 1st choice uni as I type. My son completely respected Emmanuel as a teacher and liked him as a person. Emmanuel's rates are totally normal. When I realised we needed a tutor to fill some gaps and make our lives work I did a search that turned up exactly one person able to deliver what we needed. Yup, only one. I cannot recommend Emmanuel highly enough. Some times you have to put your money where your mouth is. A few hours of tutoring is a cheap way to give your child peace of mind in an exam that determines what their options are.

Me too, hope you are well.

My ankles were covered with these bites a few days back. The worst I've had in years

Everything Pugwash says and singalto. Cost cutting without ideas. Bad combination. And in public meeting after public meeting: no interest in new idea; extensive searches for best practice. Just blah blah blah in polite phrases.

I think your pressure should also be placed on the police. And if they're thinly spread then the pressure should go above their heads. Whatever the fault of the official on the ground, the problem rests with the bureaucrat making the rules. Watching "Burgled" (leeds seems to be another Burglary hot spot) there seems to be pro active policing we're lacking. Last night Motorway Cops was also set in Leeds. There was mention of how joy riders breaking traffic laws turned up burglars. Crimes go together. Maybe there should be more proaction on speeding cars on Barry Road and elsewhere.

Wow, hand wipes brow, I was scared you'd stop. Like a favourite soap: feet up, beer in hand, let the conversation continue! I'd love that speed gun James. I'm not uniformed but I can keep a log of dates and streets and times and then hand it over if the numbers uncovered draw attention.

A 94 year old woman "strayed" onto Lordship Lane a month back, no, oops, she needed to cross LSL at a horrible, dangerous pedestrian crossing to get to the church on the other side. A driver decided they could completely judge her speed and manner of crossing and didn't slow enough to avoid hitting her, knocking her to the ground and breaking her hip. A 94-year-old with a broken hip in many instances is a death sentence. This dangerous reckless act of stupid cruelty went entirely unremarked after an initial posting on this forum. This happens all the time with drivers destroying millions of infrastructure in a time of severe cut backs. Drivers causing millions in injuries borne by the NHS which then has to cut back on other services. And of course drivers wrecking their own cars and the cars of others. Well that's the great industry that gives us economic growth. not. I am mesmerised by the group of you that equate the chaos badly driven and used vehicles cause with the sometime inconsiderate and in some rare instances dangerous use of bicycles. What further astounds me is political response at all levels of government which disproportionately favours cars and their drivers because, again, of a completely false equation of the motor industry and economic health.

Children hit by drivers, old people hit by drivers, cyclists killed by drivers none of this runs for more than a few posts. What some group of you latch on to and shake like a rag doll in a bull terrier's mouth is an idiot adult on a bicycle on the pavement.

So complete misinformation that maligns and hurts presented as a "belief" or "view" is sacrosanct

Every single councillor (there are 9) involved with this stretch of road was asked to consult this summer. The results were very interesting indeed. In any event TFL met at this intersection to discuss in August. MONEY as always and how many people had been hurt. I would like to know how statistics are kept. For example the "child knocked over" is not a statistic as the parent didn't report it. I am very concerned that "citizens" have to act when paid professions do nothing have no new ideas and seem not to read the best and the brightest and the most recent studies let alone travel and incorporate ideas that work for less money from elsewhere. I've come back from France where a road much busier than Upland Road is painted with white stripes everywhere a road intersects. And cars STOP when a pedestrian stands at the stripes. It does not seem to be an enormous whoo haaaa . It's a bit of paint and collective behaviour. The idea that rules are cast in granite and they cannot be revisited and revised in the face of shortages. White paint is fast and easy and there is less street clutter. And get a few uniformed people out there to issue warnings for speeding. Drivers SPEED around a blind corner.

The same politicians without imagination in Camberwell Old Cemetery are taking down the last trees on Camberwell Green: The Orchard. This is not a neighbourhood specific problem this is borough wide. It isn't just East Dulwich. So please do say STOP. Stop in Cemeteries and stop everywhere there's remnant open space, "wild" spaces, trees. There are so many new ideas for remembering the dead with plaques on trees and benches. Please vote in the next election for new ideas about global warming and water and solar energy. This isn't new age weird this is modern careful detail now.

Who saw Burgled? Watch Now Please because I'd like to hear from our police how they compare what we've got going on to what's going on in Leeds. Please do weigh in With 675,000 burglaries reported each year and a house broken into every 47 seconds, Britain is the most burgled country in the EU. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/burgled/4od

I support this sentiment ED edited to say the word dregs doesn't add value to the conversation
