Suspicious behaviour on Matham Grove


Recommended Posts

Hi all. Just in case this is happening elsewhere too, I thought I'd let you know. I witnessed a lady following the postmen as they went up Matham Grove today looking through all the doors, presumably to see if people were then coming to collect their post. I know this because I picked up my mail and saw a face peering in through the frosted glass. I opened the door to see who this was and she turned and walked away as quickly as she could. I asked "Can I help?" and she replied "Sorry wrong door". I then watched her do the same thing to about 5 or 6 more houses. Black lady with shoulder length black curly-ish hair, probably early 30s, wearing a peaked cap, shiny black jacket, light blue jeans and a backpack.


I've already reported it to the non emergency 101 police line, so they are aware of this behaviour. If anyone witnesses her or anyone else doing the same it's probably worth reporting it as well.

I live on Matham Grove. On Tuesday I had two rings at my door, a few hours apart. In both cases, by the time I opened the door (I work at the top of the house) there was no one there. I'm not naturally suspicious but it felt kind of wrong. Today the postman rang my bell - there was a package that wouldn't fit through the letterbox - but I can't say I saw anyone behind him.

    • We used Anstey Horne following work done by our neighbours and they were very helpful. Maybe they could provide some guidance? Good luck. https://www.ansteyhorne.co.uk/about/team    
    • Sounds like your neighbour is trying to bully you into  to be compliant and stay quiet.  You really don't have any choice but to contact Southwark regarding building alteration planning permission.  But also try to find your own surveyor asap.  It might cost you now.  But if you don't it could well really get expensive and cause issues with any potential selling in the future.  Don't feel bad about standing up for yourself and your future.....
    • Thank you, he's pretty adamant a party wall agreement isn't needed so no chance of getting plans, he's been very cagey about what's being done. I've asked for the specific clause in the Party Wall Act that suggests he doesn't because I'm pretty worried. Is it just the chimney breasts that would fall under the act? He's insisting the others don't count as party walls.
    • Thanks  for the reminder nellie. Have today received two letters dated February 2024. Heading down to Highshore Road tomorrow to see if there's anything for us. I'm getting obsessive about missing/late arriving bills since having our phone and broadband cut off when we hadn't received (so hadn't paid) a bill from BT that had been posted to us. I now keep a note in my diary of when the various utility bills are expected, and phoning them when I think something is due, invariably they say the bill has been sent out. It shouldn't be so hard.
