It seems clear from posts in here that a lot of bikes and scooters are being stolen recently. I shall raise it at the next Police Ward Panel which you are all welcome to come to on a regular (once every 2 months) basis should you wish to come. I post it in the What's On section. The next one is 13 Dec 7pm venue to be confirmed but I think it will be the Rye Hill Tenants and Residents Hall, Peckham Rye SE15, on the main Peckham Rye road by the tower blocks.

Hi PeckhamRose,

Many thanks for offering to raise these thefts at the Peckham Rye ward Police Safer Nieghbourhood Team panel meeting. That panel covers about 15% of SE22.

I'll raise it tomorrow night at the East Dulwich SNT meeting - covers about 65% of SE22 and majority of Barry Road

Yes PR...the December Ward Panel Meeting for Peckham Rye and Nunhead will take place at the Tenants Hall.


Ward panel meetings are definitely an opportunity for local people to shape policing for the coming three months. A few years ago, theft from cars saw a spike and SNT policing was switched to target that with good results. Similarly positive results were acheived when targetting a spate of teenage robberies in Peckham Rye Park.


The police themselves will be aware of recent increases in certain types of crime anyway but helpful intelligence often comes from local people and ward panel meetings are one place where local community leaders can feed intelligence. Also present at ward panels meetings are representatives from Southwark Council, including the Anti-Social Behaviour Unit, so issues that might not necessatily be a front line policing matter can also be raised.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
