mugging, Elsie Road bus stop (Jan 17th)

Recommended Posts

Be careful around the Melbourne Grove, Derwent Grove and Elsie Road areas - I was mugged for my phone on Jan 17th (it's taken a while to post this, apologies).


Black youth wearing a blue fleece and an obligatory hoody, parked his bike on Melbourne Grove and snuck up behind me at the Elsie Road bus stop at around 4am.


Luckily, it wasn't particularly nasty and all I lost was my iPhone, but just be warned.


He rode away on a small silver bike, if that helps anyone else who may be in the same position. PM me if you've had a similar incident and description - the police are apparently interested in investigating whether all these muggings are related.

Interestingly, I think he was going for my bag and then he saw that I had my phone in my hand. I was actually kind of relieved that it was my phone and not my bag (and that I had taken my phone out of my bag!).

    • The plans The developer Berkeley Homes have submitted a planning application to redevelop the Aylesham Centre close to the junction of Peckham High Street and Rye Lane, containing Morrison’s supermarket, car park, & petrol station, Aylesham shopping arcade and most of that side of Rye Lane between Hanover Park and Peckham High Street. The application is for a mixed housing, retail, leisure and commercial development, in buildings ranging from 5 to 20 storeys. Impact Local people who have studied the detailed plans think that the development would dominate the historic town centre which has evolved since the 18th century, and would ruin the Conservation Area which was awarded in 2011 'to preserve and enhance its character and appearance'. More than 65% of the homes to be built in this unimaginative over-bearing development will be unaffordable by most people who live in Southwark, and provide inadequate open and green space for this part of Peckham. Need for discussion This is such an important issue for south London that it needs wide discussion before the Council Planning Committee takes its decision (not before next Spring). A free on-line talk and discussion to clarify the heritage issues we all need to think about is being held on Monday 11th November 7-8.30pm. All will be welcome. Please register on this link: https://Defend-Peckhams-Heritage-2024.eventbrite.co.uk There are several other key issues raised by the plans which are being examined in the Aylesham Community Action (ACA) campaign. You can find the link to all that and other useful information here: www.linktr.ee/acapeckham The zoom session is being arranged by Peckham Heritage the local group that has grown from the community work alongside the restoration of nine historic buildings in Peckham High Street through the Townscape Heritage Initiative. We hope that EDF members who value local heritage will be able to attend the session to hear and take part in the discussion, and report back to this topic so the discussion can continue.
