Hi there all,


Juut wanted to remind everyone to be safe and secure. Whilst I was at work yesterday our ground floor flat on Barry Road was burgled.


They came in through the ground floor kitchen window. We have new double glazed windows which were locked - but they still crowbarred their way in. They took two laptops and some irreplaceable jewellery that was not even worth that much money but holds a lot of sentimental value...


The police advised us to make sure it was harder to get around the back of the house, and to hide laptops and valuables, so just passing this on.


They also said that whilst there are not too many burglaries in ED, there have been a couple recently on Barry Road.


Take care all.


Sophie.

How awful. You poor things.


Maybe for peace of mind you should get a monitored alarm fitted. Direct Security are a good company based in Sydenham. I've used them for over 10 years and would highly recommend them and their rates are reasonable. I hope I'm allowed to put this link here but here are their contact details. http://www.directsecurity.net/Contactus.html

Terrible news. Any prints? With all these incidents gong on, you'd think the police would be more on point, but seems they've got better things to do. Last year our own house was completely ransacked on Underhill Road, no one saw a thing. No prints, nothing. Happened very similar to yours, through the ground floor kitchen window. They actually dragged the brown garden bin to the window and used it as a thing to climb on. They then knocked down the back fence and made their escape via lordship lane (again no cctv, despite searching though hours worth). This seems to a a prevalent tactic these days, the back garden kitchen thing.

I don't think it's nuts at all. Barry Road is clearly a regular target. With ED Police Station closing down and the police being too busy with other things to actually come over for a burglary incident when you need them (as in my case), I think cameras are a marvellous idea.

Hi there


Thanks all for your good wishes.. They may break my window but not my spirit!!


Sorry to say that there were no prints.. I have to commend the police who were round really quickly and were really supportive, as were the safer neighbourhood team who visited us the next day to advise as too how we could step up the security.


WhoopDeDoop - your experience sounds terrible. Hope you are ok and back to normal at home..


Take care,


Sophie.

I'd go for cameras! Though I suppose you might hear the nuts crunching as they walk into your garden and they are cheaper!

We live near the top of Barry Road and my neighbour got burgled at night about 2 weeks ago when he was sleeping. He had his expensive car stolen too.


They came through the front door which should have been double locked, but wasn't. The next door neighbour has a dog too, but no-one heard anything.


I've got the same type of door, so you can bet I'm double locking mine after what happened to my neighbour, even during the day.


The police have said there is a rise in burglaries in the area recently.

      Promo counter/ trade-show stand wanted for community art project.

      By Lillo · Posted

      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

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Rockets · Posted

      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.

      Electrician (Highly recommended) - James Seth

      By AlanMBarr · Posted

      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.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By David Peckham · Posted

      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.
