If you haven’t seen it, this article might be of interest: https://www.dulwichsociety.com/newsletter/spring-2006/dawsons-hill-before-dawsons-heights

Honestly, I’d be more worried about having Southwark Council as your freeholder and the hefty bills they might land on you.

That's a very interesting article. Thanks for posting and thanks to James Dallaway for writing it and doing the engineering.

I was excited to see the thread Ladlands, I wrongly assumed that it was about a new Netflix series.  But instead I found out a bit more about the Dawson's Heights Estate. 

George Clarke presented an excellent documentary on local authority housing, that featured Dawson heights being a landmark (both visually and in terms of planning.  George Clarke blasts the state for shirking its housing ...https://www.channel4.com/programmes/george-clarkes-council-house-scandal/on-demand/69217-001

Sadly the attached article from the earlier email from the Dulwich Society does not present a short summary, and is just to long winded.  It also talks about the battleship design, when it is clearly two cruise liners as I can see out of my window.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
