Community Road Watch is a locally driven initiative for members of the local community. They join together with the support of their local Police Road Safety teams, to monitor speeds of vehicles using speed detection devices. Vehicles exceeding the speed limit are referred to the Police with the aim of educating drivers to reduce their speeds. All patrols have Police team members present.


Volunteers are trained on the day by Police in using the speed detection device, and they help take down vehicle details, Car reg, model and colour, speed. All volunteers have hi vis to wear. Volunteers also have local knowledge about what local roads and sites and times of day to monitor, to inform future patrols.


Registered keepers of vehicles that exceed the speed limit threshold are contacted/sent letters advising them of the speed that the vehicle was driven at with the aim of educating them, changing their behaviour and reducing their speed.


I've always found patrols friendly and very useful. It gives the local community the evidence on speed issues.

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By bonzodog · Posted

      Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.

      Love Dulwich Restaurant

      A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.

      Silver Fern Landscapes - Recommendation

      By TAG · Posted

      Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html

      Does anyone remember an incident from the late 90s/early 00s in which a young man fell to death from Dawsons Heights?

      I'm very sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that Carl has never been forgotten in our community.
