RP Child - Southwark is hit and miss on this. Some roads - Barry, for example - have the big trees cut right back, even at the base where the new twigs sprout, but other places are left to grow like topsy. Ring the enviro line - 020 7525 2000 - and ask them to keep it in check, if it is indeed Southwark's responsibility.

Sorry to hear this and glad you were not seriously harmed.

Worrying to hear as I'll be using that regularly soon on school drop offs, not something you want to hear about and 6pm is not late or dark either. It's really a prime spot if you think about it as it's like a dead end then an overgrown pathway. I have messaged James Barber in case anything can be done re CCTV or something to improve security.

All descriptions of perpetrators should include passport no. and DNA profile.

Anything else, ie. not specifying name, exact height, brand and colour of clothing, shoe size, and inside leg measurement is simply generalising.

Imagine warning people about a mugger and only providing the details you managed to observe during the attack, perish the thought of such an ill-informed and badly thought out approach to raising awareness.

If the only detail you could pick out during the mugging was the fact that it was a black man then that's not very helpful. Try going to the police and say you got mugged. The police will most likely ask for a description and you'll be like 'well he was black and a man'. Cheers buddy, that really narrows it down.


What's the point in even saying it was a black man when that literally doesn't help at all. Would you have said it was a white guy if it was a white guy who took your phone? Of course you would. I'm very sympathetic towards the victim. But find it very odd the way that was worded and slipped in st the end of the post.


Kidkruger, I see what you tried there but it wasn't funny. Good effort though.

stantonb, yes it was a slightly undesirable turn of phrase, but the OP had been mugged a short while before at knifepoint - I'm sure anyone who's been bored with my posts on here can tell you I'm tiresomely politically correct but in this instance maybe cut him/her a little slack, under the circumstances?
Not sure the OP was offering that as a complete description, but in any case when you're the victim of a crime, particularly a violent one, it can be surprisingly hard to remember anything but the most obvious things about the aggressor. I believe the OP is also not a native English speaker so in what must have been a very stressful situation they might not be able to think of another way to say what they wanted to. Please don't turn the perpetrator into the victim here.

it would seem that this alley has insufficient lighting and in the winter months is rather dark has anybody contacted the council or contacted the police in reference to this as this is a on going problem for as long as i have lived in the area surely some responsibility is with the council we all pay our council taxes and have rights


maybe its about time a petition was started about getting some CCTV along there maybe a long shot but nothing tried nothing gained


i know it is a good Short cut but maybe this alley is best avoided in the dark evenings

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
