Same thing happened to us on Oglander last year. There is a thread somewhere about it but can?t find it now. Reluctant to plant new plants this year in case happens again. Thinking of planting lavender as my next door neighbour?s new lavender was not stolen. The thief is evidently not a fan.

It's odd - there is definitely someone a little light-handed in that area. When I lived on Soames St a few years ago I mulched the front garden with bark chips before going on holiday and someone had meticulously removed virtually all of it from around a lot of plants by the time I returned.

Some years back I had planted up window boxes stolen, and the police said there had been a spate of such thefts.


It was just before Mother's Day.


Maybe the same reason??

I would be inclined to have a very visible gardening day and then stay up to catch the thief. Sensor lights would be good.


Or you could put notices up on lamp posts drawing attention to the thefts and asking neighbours to keep their eyes open.


You could set up a neighbourhood watch scheme and be proactive.

I can top all of this - our neighbour with the help of Plus Rooms attempted to steal part of our back garden. They have stolen some by building their extension across the boundary in a diagonal style!!!! (straight on plans submitted to Southwark). We have had plants stolen from the front of the house too but they pale in comparison

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By FatherJack · Posted

      DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.

      Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
