Sad to concur with the above posts, I was accosted last night on the corner of Goodrich and Dunstans at about 12.30 by two youths, one asked for the time, the other went to grab my wrist and watch as I looked to tell them. They clearly didn?t see my dog was about twenty yards behind me doing her usual nightly sniff. After a scuffle she bit one of them and I have the glove which I am taking to the police for DNA.
well done bunny-thats fab glad to hear one of the gits has at least been bitten! could you let us know what the police have to say please? would be good to know if they are taking this seriously/what they are planning on doing about it. Very worried as my hubby comes home form work at around that time of night every day. Not nice having to worry every night until I hear his key in the lock.

Just to add my two pence, these crimes are all likely to point to wards a small but dedicated buch of kids, and the only way to stop this is report the crimes and help the police look into this.

We know not all crimes will be solved, but themes and trends get investigated and they can target the area.

Please please report all the problems and crimes you encounter.

It literally takes 5 mins on-line.

When numerous people give descriptions of the thugs more varied info is gathered together giving a clearer overall picture of these no good toads and their evil habits.


This forum must make a sygnificant difference to the local constabulary as we are all looking out for the dangerous thieving wretches.

Which park?

Missmay, I feel for you but you just generally have to accept things happen occasionally but that Dulwich is better than many other places in London--a guy got shot dead outside our flat on Barry Road a year ago and we got very scared for a while but soon recovered our poise.

It sounds like a lot of these recent incidents happened late at night. So a message to all girls especiall, avoid walking on your own late at night. Keep your wits and you'll be fine, honest.

Missmay here's my tuppence worth. Crime comes in peaks and troughs but also we have a popular forum so we hear about more incidents than your average neighbourhood. Check out the met police crime statistic map - we're comparatively quite good round here. Every area has it's scummers but ED is still (in my opinion) a lovely place to live. I'm guilty of being lazy and walking the quickest route home but we should all keep our wits about us and if someone does try and mug you, just hand it over, it's just not worth it.

Another petty observation pk....it may be an old-fashioned attitude but i personally don't want my wife walking any of the streets of London past midnight. But that's just my safety mechanism, you may proffer something different.

Have to add to everyone elses point in that reporting any theft is definately worth it. I was mugged twice in short sucession but both phones I lost had been tagged and I had all the details which I gave to the police. They later recovered the second phone from a kid on a local estate - so they do find things!!! Also would recommend getting in touch from a support point of view - at the time I thought I was fine but 3 years on I still suffer from flashabcks and avoid going anywhere after dark on my own. Sometime even you don't realise it these things can really affect your life. I know Southwark has an active victim support service which may be worth conisdering even if your not bothered about it now - and yes I do realise that everybody has the right to deal with things in their own way - just an option.

eh?


i only asked a question as i thought that the facts here had prompted your 'message to all the girls especiall' (i don't know the victims or their gender so i wondered whether there were indeed more women than men)

I've mentioned this before but please contact Victim Support too. My OH was attacked at Denmark Hill before Christmas and they've been totally brilliant


- helping us with the Police process (accompanying us to station meetings at their suggestion)

- providing us with personal alarms (although mine keeps going off in my bag at v. embarrassiing moments)

- giving v good (non-patronising) guidance and support - from a trained psychotherapist no less.


My OH is not one to ask for help - but he's found them wonderful.


Sorry to hear all your awful stories. We live around the corner too - shudder.

    • on a practical level found here these have very positive feedback:   Danny - 07943 673482 joeast 12/09/23 Just had my roof replaced by Danny (mobile 07943 673482) who I would highly recommend. He is honest, clean, reliable and explained the work and sent photos as the work progressed. His initial estimate for costs was detailed and close to the actual price of the job. jamondo 07/12/24 Another recommendation for Danny here!  After carrying out extensive work on our property in 2018, we have constantly had problems  with the newly built roof.  Then followed numerous fixes and bodges by the builders then by other so called 'experts' and professionals' charging extortionate amounts and / or giving guarantees that amounted to nothing.  Lots of 'it could be this and that etc...'  Sadly our tale of woe is not uncommon. After getting a number of people to look at the roof - the consensus was that the whole roof needed redoing (it was clear that by now the roof looked a mess with multiple things done wrong or poorly).  We obtained quotes and decided to go with Danny - his was the most competitive but it was not overriding factor behind why we did.  Danny made clear what the quote covered and where there might be extra work required as he got to it (this was fairly minor). He was easy to get a hold of and responded promptly and he was also happy to offer up refences which I did contact and all were happy to vouch for him. Minor downside was that we had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it.  When work started I was kept updated with progress and photos.  Issues were dealt with, and although I'm not an expert by any means the appearance of the work was top.  Most importantly we are leak free! bonzo 17/05/25 Needed a new rear roof for terrace house in East Dulwich and heard about Danny Denton (07943 673482). Have worked with over 20 builders in the past but this guy was way the best - polite, hard working, honest, professional, informative, highly skilled and above all quoted lower than any of the others who came down to view the job. If you need roofing work I would definitely give him a call. If he's busy working else where I assure you he is well worth waiting for. He got the scaffold up and job finished in no time and kept me informed at every stage. Another roofer (who appears on this forum) gave a quote which was three times higher than Danny's.   #########################################################   Norwood Roofing 07412 000 214 Email Address: [email protected] Website: https://norwoodroofing.co.uk/ Fee163 01/01/26 Another 5 star recommendation for David and Patrick. Got in touch with David last week regarding clearing our gutters and as always he quoted immediately and came out within the week to do the job.  We've used David and Patrick for all our roof work for almost 10 years .   They also did an amazing job for my sister who is based outside the area - she couldn't easily find someone local and they stepped in and did a fantastic job (it was quite a big job).  Can't recommend them highly enough, really personable, always reliable and so easy to work with and consistent, just wouldn't work with anyone one else!  Thanks again David and Patrick. caroline5553 12/01/26 Another recommendation for David and Patrick. David came out the same day we called, had scaffolding up by the weekend and the job done on Monday. Really nice guys, never made me feel uncomfortable, easy to work with and seemed to have done a great job. Thanks, David and Patrick! sheppick 15/12/25 I would also recommend David and Patrick. David quoted immediately, and they came and did the work I needed the following week. They fixed my leaking roof and did a number of other jobs for me that were needed on the roof. Really reliable, turned up on time and very reasonable quote. Super easy to deal with and I would highly recommend.  #################################################################   Which Trusted Trader R Tredget & Son 07905829393 or 07956553852  [email protected] http://www.rtredgetandson.com/ OUR FEATURED WORKS Roofing, plumbing, kitchen installation, building, interior decorating, electrical installation, bathroom installation, exterior decorating, tiling, plastering, landscaping & carpentry 02/08/25 This is the second time R. Tredget & Son have carried out works on our property. Part of the work included the repair of cladding on an end gable that Richard had previously installed but it had since been accidentally damaged by another trades-person. I assumed I'd pay for such repair work, as the damage was no fault of his own, but when we discussed this, Richard was adamant he would not charge! Made a lovely job of the repair too. When you turn your home (or part of it) over to builders it often feels like they've taken over. Not so with Richard, Adam and Harrison. They respect your property and are willing to work with you. They keep you informed at every stage, offering suggestions and alternatives as appropriate and they don't take liberties. We are so glad to have found R. Tredget & Son builders: quality work from reliable, hard-working and courteous folks. 10/10/24 Multiple jobs complete to a high standard We've used Richard for a few years now getting our house complete. He and his team have completely refitted our kitchen, replaced ceilings, built internal and external walls, laid flooring, plastered, decorated, fixed guttering, fit skirting boards; the list goes on! They take pride in their work, and every job we've needed doing, they've always done to a high standard. No job was too big or too small for them, and I've no doubt the quality work they've done has increased the value of our house, so a big thanks again for everything they've done. 17/04/24 A Great Family Run Company This was our first time having works done in a new house so we were understandably nervous! From the first meeting with Richard and Adam we knew that we would be in good hands. Nothing that we wanted done was too much of an issue, even if it was a bit more of a challenge to them (unlike some other quotes we got!). They gave clever suggestions but weren't pushy with it and had good ideas! We had a whole new bathroom installed and then some structural work done around the house. The guys always made sure that they left the house in a clean state at the end of every day, which really made a difference to our standard of living during the works. Richard, Michelle, Adam, and H were trustworthy and communication was perfect throughout. We used some of their guys for boiler/electrics too and they were also great. Would highly recommend taking them on for your works!       
    • Bit of a long-shot, but I dropped my glasses somewhere along my run last night, after taking them off due to the rain. The glasses are Giorgio Armani with grey frames. My running route attached, so they could be anywhere along this route. If you've found them, please get in touch! 07971806292 Many thanks James
    • I'm in the middle of the civil service pension crisis with no pension for 4 months and counting. No access to the much publicised loans either. I have emailed Helen Hayes several times. It took her 6 weeks to contact Capita on my behalf but no follow up, no reply, she didn't attend the Westminster Hall debate about the issue either. Lots of other MPs are speaking and acting on behalf of their constituents but I've had no joy. Has anyone else please? What works to get help from Helen Hayes?
    • Our cat Suki has gone missing from Keston Road near Goose Green. Please let us know if you see her anywhere or can check your sheds and gardens. You can contact us me on 07980308743 or [email protected].  Thanks Chris
