incident on east dulwich road (abuse from kids)

[SteveT]

I second what Jeremy said.

[PeckhamRose]

"when a young man stepped out in front of me and appeared to be commanding me to stop. (Which I was forced to do, with all the rush hour traffic behind as well) Then a group of around 8-10( I guess), all of school age, stepped out on the road, and it was clear that they were dominating the road and crossing wherever they wanted, however they wanted"

If he had not have stopped or could not have stopped he would have been at fault. The man stepping out had no regard for anyone's safety and is at fault.

Have you been reading The Daily Mail again SteveT?

[ImpetuousVrouw]

I agree with Mscrawthew, I don't see how jay walking indicates someone comes from a broken home. This seems to be a huge generalisation.

I'd like toadd the number of the Safer Neighbourhood Team to my phone too...what is it?

[PeckhamRose]

Peckham Rye Safer Neighbourhood Team, map and information

Their telephone number is 020 8721 2443

East Dulwich Safer Neighbourhood Team, map and information

Their telephone number is 020 8721 2447

I wish there was a place all this informationcould be found on our forum for everyone.

Good point Peckham Rose - could admin come up with something?

Handy links for ED residents?

[PeckhamRose]

Thanks - I asked about this ages ago.

Things like this, and local hospital numbers and useful stuff for the community.

Seems there wasn't enough interest and/or the admin wasn't keen.

I'd have thought it really important!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

If you look on the local info tab on the top right hand side, the SNT details are given.

[intexasatthe moment]

So they are - I had never noticed this tab !Doh!

Thanks PGC.

It is important which is why it's been there since the forum started and even has "Top 10 tips for a safer neighbourhood and safer homes" as suppied by the local police.

[PeckhamRose]

OK I'm blushing.

Never noticed it.

Sorry. So why do people keep asking and PMing me? Because they didn't notice it either.

Hmm

[PeckhamRose]

To be fair, it only has ED safer neighbourhood team info but quite a bit of East Dulwich is actually in the Peckham Rye safer neighbour team area as shown on the maps which are in my links above.

And therefore they have different email addys and phone numbers. Mark/Admin, please could both safer neighbourhood teams' details go in the information? (Even if no-one knows to find it!)

[Mark]

I know it's a bit out the way so maybe we'll try and make it a bit more prominent, and get the Peckham Rye SNT details on there too.

The buses don't stop - saw someone clipped from behind by a 78 when (jay)walking down Rye lane on Friday.

He seemed OK though
