This is just a warning for park users. Last Wednesday my wife and a friend were walking their dogs in the park when our dog (on a lead) was aggressed by a husky (not on a lead). My wife and her friend asked the owner to put the husky on the lead but she didn't. As they went to leave the park, the dog attacked (for the third time) our dog knocking my wife to the ground and inadvertently biting her hand. The husky owner left the park without leaving her details. My wife spent two days in hospital and has received multiple stitches to her right hand. We have informed the police but without the owners details there's little they can do. Whereas my wife is now unlikely to use the park for walking our dogs again - I have no doubt that the husky owner would have no such compunction.

Sorry to hear about this - very scary. Just for context there are

Several very calm huskies in Peckham rye park who pose no threat at all.

I do hope your wife revisits soon as this sounds like a horrible but

unusual occurrence- and dreadful for the dogs too. What time did this jasper?

Best regards and speedy recovery

I recognise the description of the dog concerned. It is an unusually large husky cross - the female owner told me it is not quite a year old. It is closer in size to a Great Dane than the normal husky size. The owner is young and slight and struggles to control it on the lead as it is very strong. On the whole, it is not an aggressive dog, but young and untrained.


I speak as a dog owner (I have two dogs). Training is vital if you are a dog owner.


She did walk it regularly in Peckham Park in the morning , coming in through the entrance at Forest Hill Road by the crosswalk. No idea where she lives, but perhaps someone might recognise this description.

No idea if this is the same dog - looked like a large Malamute. Yesterday in Peckham Rye he came bounding over to our dogs and started to jump all over my fiends older dog, who has severe arthritis. She asked the owner to call her dog off but the dog was intent on playing, so my friend had to pull the dog off and hand it back his owner. She could hardly handle the dog at all, there was no apology and she let it off minutes later and it ran off to do the same to another dog. He was most certainly young and playful rather than dangerous, but definitely not under control.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
