i just wanted to extend my gratitude to some passers by who helped me a couple of sundays ago.


some kids threw an apple at me when i was cycling down dog kennel hill. i ended up with cuts and bruises all over and havent been back at work yet. i was really lucky there were no passing traffic because i would have gone under any of them.


4 people stopped, gave witness statements to police and help give first aid. two of them even offered me and my bike a lift home.


if any of them reads this, Thank You so much

Sorry to hear about your incident - particularly as this sounds like the same gang that threw apples at my car three sundays ago (not sure of week but definitely a Sunday) - although this was right up by the dulwich library. I didn't report it for fear of seeming like a middle-aged curmudgeon who would get short shrift from the hard-pressed police for complaining about teenage hi-jinx. Next time i will.

cathg,


i work for the police. we only get upset if people call us because they've lost their tv remote control. even if they had hit a car, it could have distracted the driver enough to cause an accident. as long as you dont call 999, the police wont get upset. we can never have too much information.


wounds are healing now and i'm back at work. as well that ends well, ;-)

    • Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣
    • That Neal Street veggie cafe was great. Food For Thought ❤️
    • Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly. 
    • https://www.letslinkuk.net/ I'm interested to know why the OP didn't find this sort of scheme to work, as I would have thought it was much harder to find someone to do a direct exchange with? Does anybody else have experience of a scheme like this? Happy to be persuaded!
