Agree, its not going to get any better at least for the next 3-4 years as services continue to be cut. Its very sad, but this area is no different to other parts of London. It may be more "pleasant" in places but there are the same underlying problems.


More Police visibility on foot (rather than patrol cars) might also help. I rarely see any in London at all.

Drummer, wishful thinking mate about 'police on foot'; their services are CUTTING!!

Until we have any ideas what were the circumstances/ causes of this tragic event/ events (if the incident in the car park is related, which does seem likely) speculation as to some underlying 'cause' - particularly related to recent political decisions about future expenditure (none of which would have had any impact to date) seems very much out-of-place.


Dreadful things can happen anywhere, and for a multiplicity of reasons.


It is likely that people locally of similar ages to those injured/ murdered will be badly affected by these events, whether they knew the victims or not, as will parents of young people who habituate the area. They are going to need reassurance and support that this sort of incident is very unusual, not just here but anywhere.

Is this meant to be funny?

Any murder is awful but it is also true to say that when guns and knives are involved it's often criminal/ gang related. Gangs and the crime rackets they protect have always existed in London and London is far safer than it was 100 years ago.


Personally I find it hard to understand how anyone can extinguish someone's life so needlessly (self defense excepted of course).


Whatever the story is (sure it will emerge over the next few days) it's very tragic.

Narnia - Just commenting on the ridiculous statement of ryedalema who somehow thinks that the fact he was in the area 5 or so hours before anything happened meant his kids were somehow lucky to have avoided their untimely deaths. Seemed just a tad self-important to try and feel part of the whole sorry tale.
I heard from a lady who lives right by there that as well as the lad who was stabbed and died, one youth was shot and is in intensive care, and another injured. It was something to do with the 18th birthday party which was being held in the Tower Hamlets Football Club nearby. Horrific.

Even though not announced yet, it's probably an Operation Trident crime


Lots of renewed gang activity around here (Peckham side)

The usual cheap waste of life. We don't get it so much around here but in some parts of London this happens every week.


Why do young black males do this to each other? Its beyond pathetic and so so tragic. What the hell are the parents doing. They turn a blind eye to the culture their kids are falling into.



Suppose we can be right on & agree this crime is all the fault of the tory cuts though, rather than the parenting or any effort for individuals to look out for their kids or change the culture they live in. For God's sake.

I take your point apart from the fact that s/he asked what time it happened at. Where do you get your 5 hours before from?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
