My daughter has just come down to tell me about this - she heard it on Capital Radio. I feel very upset this tragedy, both for the family of the young man, and for our community (which is generally such a lovely, safe place to live). So sad.:(
my husband has just gone to the drs and has seen that there are men in white suits (crime scene people) outside mark and sons newsagents on grove vale. theres also police scattered all the way up the road up till sainsburys. the park and sainsburys are still shut.

As has been said a million times before, it's as safe / unsafe as anywhere else. It's London for God's sake.


Sad news indeed.

As Keef says - ED is a nice place to live but it is in London and as in most places comparative wealth and comfort live cheek by jowel poverty, inequality and the resulting societal fractures.


Lets not paint ED as a war zone, but lets not over-romaniticise it either.

I agree with Michael above. You know what I think, the climate is already sombre, very hard times scheduled ahead for most. With all these cuts to ALL Services, times are going to get harder,harsher, and crime WILL soar!

    • I wonder how much the rebranding is costing in total?  Could the money be used in a better way ? 
    • It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.
    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.  
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
