The posters in Bellendon Road shop windows from the police indicating a spate (is that word acceptable???????;-)) of car break ins might indicate that there is something to be alert to. As does the sense that an area is being targeted. (I too was broken into during the summer - ripped open front sash, but only ancient, worthless work laptop taken.


There may not be a quantifiable/verifiable increase but the location seems to be currently in vogue for the robbing fraternity. If this makes people more conscious of their window/door security then all to the common good I say. Wish I had taken more notice!!

I have only seen one such poster on Bellenden Road (in the newsagents window) - do correct me if I'm wrong. And if that's the one you're referring to then it's been up in the window practically since I moved into the area five years ago. Lock your doors and close your windows by all means - but do that because you live in London in 2011, not because you perceive you live in some high-risk area.

I do because it's sensible!

However I can see from the new police site that the Lane ward has above average rates of crime with 71 burglaries in Dec.

So maybe being more aware of home security rather than trusting to luck is a sensible stance to take.

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm

      If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
