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!

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
