That'll be one of those pesky kids with their chalk again......;-)


Nice clear shots though....I wonder if anyone knows him....... I presume he was going down the road doing this to all the houses and then leaving the signs on the cars outside the house?


It's beyond pathetic - just as damaging the planters is. The idiots on both sides really need to grow up.

The interesting thing is that this guy wasnt obviously drunk and he did look up at the cameras several times!


Someone surely can recognise him. If so please send a PM and we will let the police know. Result was dents and scratches in the roof and bonnet. The signage is neither here or there but we just cannot have people like this damaging cars. There's enough vandalism to cars already without this type of behaviour.


Please assist.

Nice presumption again Rockets.


I think that the answer was 'no' that's not what happened. This is old footage and seems to be the only place its happened despite there being other signs on that stretch of road.


Odd behavior yes, part of a wider pattern and happening to all houses displaying signs - no.


The only other place I'd heard of was on Croxted after one of the England matches, but given people had been in the pub watching the football its hard to work out if its normal levels of post football euphoria vandalism or something more targeted.

Northern - a number of people reported the same thing happening to their signs across the Dulwich area - so this one, that was captured on camera, was not an isolated incident. It's not beyond the realm of possibility to suggest that it is this person who has been targeting other houses because this is clearly not a random act of vandalism - this is very much targeted - look at the effort he goes to to remove the sign. I am sure you'll agree that if he has caused damaged to any properties or cars he should be held to account for that - he is pretty recognisable.


He is clearly an idiot as so many people have cameras and Ring doorbells nowadays he was always going to be caught on one of them. As I have said before the idiots on both sides need to stop doing this type of thing and, if caught, should be held to account as it does neither side any good and is just childish in the extreme.

Yes - its easy to say that this is totally unacceptable - it is.


However,



"I presume he was going down the road doing this to all the houses and then leaving the signs on the cars outside the house?"


Well no - there were loads of signs on that road and seemingly only this one removed and put (again weirdly) on their car. Its not a house with a drive and the parking outside is full. Though it was the only SUV so maybe it was an unlucky coincidence for them).

Millionaires?? You must be joking.


The great majority of houses on EDG are sub-divided into flats and you won't find many millionaires there.


Not sure what you mean by tatty. There are 2 or 3 which have been interfered with and may not be vertical but they still get the message across. They must be effective if plonkers like this want to remove them.

Not too many, thankfully and what damage they have done has been rectified.


What is more concerning are the "useful idiots" who get manipulated by our elected office holders.






Some community spirited person must know him

Rocks, you are not paying attention. Using terms such as idiots does not help your cause and you lose the moral high ground. I did give you and others some pretty good advice on the LTN thread, do pay attention.


[that is not saying whatever is going on is right, just if you are arguing any point it doesn't help to start throwing names around]

Malumbu - I think everyone can agree that if people are pulling down signs they don't agree with or vandalising planters they don't agree with then we can safely categorise them as idiots. They are the very definition of them. Or maybe pathetic deluded idiots if they think it is going to have any impact on the long term outcome or somehow make people change their views on the LTNs either way.

Spot on Rockets! It just makes the anti-LTNers more motivated and more determined.

    • While it is good that GALA have withdrawn their application for a second weekend, local people and councillors will likely have the same fight on their hands for next year's event. In reading the consultation report, I noted the Council were putting the GALA event in the same light as all the other events that use the park, like the Circus, the Fair and even the FOPR fete. ALL of those events use the common, not the park, and cause nothing like the level of noise and/or disruption of the GALA event. Even the two day Irish Festival (for those that remember that one) was never as noisy as GALA. So there is some disingenuity and hypocrisy from the Council on this, something I wll point out in my response to the report. The other point to note was that in past years branches were cut back for the fencing. Last year the council promised no trees would be cut after pushback, but they seem to now be reverting to a position of 'only in agreement with the council's arbourist'. Is this more hypocrisy from 'green' Southwark who seem to once again be ok with defacing trees for a fence that is up for just days? The people who now own GALA don't live in this area. GALA as an event began in Brockwell Park. It then lost its place there to bigger events (that pesumably could pay Lambeth Council more). One of the then company directors lived on the Rye Hill Estate next to the park and that is likely how Peckham Rye came to be the new choice for the event. That person is no longer involved. Today's GALA company is not the same as the 'We Are the Fair' company that held that first event, not the same in scope, aim or culture. And therein lies the problem. It's not a local community led enterprise, but a commercial one, underwritten by a venture capital company. The same company co-run the Rally Event each year in Southwark Park, which btw is licensed as a one day event only. That does seem to be truer to the original 'We Are the Fair' vision, but how much of that is down to GALA as opoosed to 'Bird on the Wire' (the other group organising it) is hard to say.  For local people, it's three days of not being able to open windows, As someone said above, if a resident set up a PA in their back garden and subjected the neighbours to 10 hours of hard dance music every day for three days, the Council would take action. Do not underestimate how distressing that is for many local residents, many of whom are elderly, frail, young, vulnerable. They deserve more respect than is being shown by those who think it's no big deal. And just to be clear, GALA and the council do not consider there to be a breach of db level if the level is corrected within 15 minutes of the breach. In other words, while db levels are set as part of the noise management plan, there is an acknowledgement that a breach is ok if corrected within 15 minutes. That is just not good enough. Local councillors objected to the proposed extension. 75% of those that responded to the consultation locally did not want GALA 26 to take place at all. For me personally, any goodwill that had been built up through the various consultations over recent years was erased with that application for a second weekend, and especially given that when asked if there were plans for that in post 2025 event feedback meetings (following rumours), GALA lied and said there were no plans to expand. I have come to the conclusion that all the effort to appease on some things is merely an exercise in show, to get past the council's threshold for the events licence. They couldn't give a hoot in reality for local people, and people that genuinely care about parkland, don't litter it with noisy festivals either.
