Dear all

This afternoon around 1.30 I was home and heard a noise which sounded like it was coming from my property.

I looked out my bedroom window to see a man standing in my front garden looking suspicious.

He then walked out of my gate and stood outside it and then had a sip of his drink.


I then decided to get my phone to take some pictures of him, as I reached for my phone the noise became louder and more intense I could then hear my gate being broken and it also sounded like they were getting closer to gaining access to the back of the house. I then opened my upstairs window and shouted out Oi!!!

Suddenly I saw the man re appear from the blind spot where my side gate is. He was afraid and ran jumping over my front wall. At that moment i threw a glass lanten at him which caused a loud sound as it smashed, then I saw a second man run from the side gate I threw my other lanten at him. He also fled running down on Danby street towards Bellenden road where they turned left. Witnesses have said that there was three of them, one who was waiting on a bike. Two were on one bike as the other ran on foot. Their description was 3 white males around 5ft10 medium build, fair coloured skin one wearing a grey woolen hat a black top and light bottoms I think they were grey bottoms, the other was wearing a black cap,black top and light coloured jeans.

Another witness saw them sitting on my front wall talking to each other before they decided to get to work.


Thankfully I was home and I was able to stop them from taking anything and from causing more damage to my property as well as me and my young child not being hurt. If I was downstairs I would of opened the door and they would of been beside me.


This really frightened me but im feeling better now. We have a house alarm but the side gate/fence is not alarmed we rely on bolts and heavy duty padlocks. We are now looking into upgrading this ASAP


Please ensure that you lock up your back gates and remember to close all your windows at night and when you leave out on a morning. If you have a car please double check that you have locked the doors too. I have woken up some nights hearing noises only to see out of my window men walking up and down the street checking all the cars that they walk pass.


These rotten thiefs have no respect or regard for our personal possessions that we work so hard to get including our sentimental posessions.


Every now and then my door will knock and when i answer it no ones there. I believe that they check whos home.


Please keep a look outcand inform and remind neighbours.


Take care

Janiece, this sound like the same (or similar) group that have been loitering and moving in and out of gardens all the way from Camberwell Grove through Wilson Road, Graces Road etc. and down the streets adjacent to Warwick Gardens. If it's the same group they've been seen by a few people and hopefully reported by all. MO involves 3-4 members, 2 sitting on front of house walls looking like they're involved in building/decorating etc. Looks normal. Other member/members move to the back of said house or neighbouring properties. Keep an eye out.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.

      The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help.

      Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?

      Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.

This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system. We have been forced to close for one of the busiest weekends of the year, losing thousands of pounds in income, and are now having to fight our landlords for support with the leak. We are asking all our allies for support as we try and reignite the crowdfunder to reflect the new expensive work that needs to take place, and the gear we need to replace. Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward. If you have any ideas with getting media attention, or fundraising - please get in touch on [email protected] Even if you like myself have not previously visited this venue, supporting small not for profit venues are vital to the life blood of what 'commmunity' is all about. HOW YOU CAN HELP: 1) If you are an electrician and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 2) If you are a Sound Engineer and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 3) If you are a journalist or have connections with the local and wider media (Print, on line, TV, Radio, please email: [email protected] 4) 'Every Little Helps' even just £1 will make a difference, please support the crowd funder: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/.../piehouse-workers-co-op...
