If you disagree with the decision to close East Dulwich and Rotherhithe police stations, please join the Southwark News Police in Crisis campaign which we launched in this week's paper and sign our petition.


We are calling for

- NO police front counter to be closed without a replacement, as promised by Boris Johnson in his 2012 election pledge.


- NO Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNT) to be centralised.


- NO further cuts to police officer numbers.


For months now, we have been getting more and more ominous signs about cuts to Southwark Police being handed down by the Mayor and Met Commissioner ? and then last week,Southwark?s Borough Commander Charles Griggs was forced into retirement because of cutbacks.


We currently have:

- No Borough Commander

- Falling police officer numbers

- Two out of six police stations closing

- All police front counters in jeopardy

- Safer Neighbourhood Teams pulled off their beat and centralised

- Cuts to car fleets ? leaving officers to take the bus


We are really concerned about the impact these cuts are going to have. It takes 30 seconds to sign the petition, link here, please join us to fight the cuts:

    • Does anyone know what local pubs/restaurants will be open this year for Xmas serving lunch? 
    • That’s interesting, Dulwich Dweller; my 70 yr old neighbour told me 2 weeks ago that he’d left work early to go and book in person (being uncomfortable with all the online & app stuff) and was explicitly told that he needed to go away and book online. He’s not the sort of person to be insistent and, like a lot of older people, a bit embarrassed at his lack of digital ability, so he left without the appointment . This is my point about inconsistency, since his experience was quite different from yours. I’m beginning think that it rather depends on who, at Reception, you speak to on day…
    • Wow, never had a disappointing meal there since they opened.. guess like every establishment, depends on the chef.. All for allowing an off day - good of you to post.. much better than chains - had awful service at Gail’s for eg..be it cake and tea or a meal.. They are so nice and accommodating..       
    • "I tried Viet Flavour and was disappointed.  Their summer rolls especially were not at all good, stodgy and flavourless.  Pho-OK.  I'm hoping it will get better " Back in June I posted as above.  I am glad to report that either the first time I went the restaurant was having an off day, or they have upped their game.  I ordered the same things.  The summer roll was exactly as it should be, and had a lovely dipping sauce. The Pho was delicious.  My brother who was with me wanted to give it 10/10 but I always think you should leave room for improvement so gave it 9/10.  Staff were lovely.  I am so glad because I love Vietnamese food and now think I have a very good one just round the corner.
