explosive device in ED police station

[benjaminty]

Mrs Benjaminty can't get in our house... and apparently someone has dropped off an explosive device to the Police Station..

M&S playing hard ball?

Anyone know any more info?

No, but I couldn't get back home via the shoe shop, darn it!

Bottom end of LL was closed going south bound uphill and side roads too. I doubt its M&S playing hardball. I sent them a letter last week asking if they have intentions for east dulwich and they said it's not on their development list. I think the traders are just gossip mongering :))

Can we get in now?

Thanks!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Yes, the Lane is open now. I saw a Chinook helicopter withdrawing the last Coppers off the top of the Police station not 60 minutes ago.

[Monkey]

Is that a joke? ::o

[benjaminty]

I reckon so ..... I kinda hope so.... not sure if we can get in yet but I'm stuck at my desk still.

[Sonners]

I wandered past the Police Station about 30 mins ago and no problems with access to Pellatt Road.

The Evening Standard said today that East Dulwich Police Station is to close down.

[woodie]

madness.

[TillieTrotter]

Also Camberwell

I'm guessing the petition didn't work then?

[benjaminty]

is it closing down ... or just falling down? surely one forces the other

Apparently the police station in ED will shut, after the plans for the Needle Xchange on CP road were rejected it was felt that crime in ED was at such an all time low that the station was no longer needed. They also felt that the land was worth an awful lot and in fact the local council are interested in turning it into a halfway type of house. They reckon they would save several millions doing things this way and they can then shift the alloted money for the hostel on to other vote winning projects.

They are looking at metal detectors on all paths + roads leading into the Shire, er sorry i mean ED, and creating some stables on the site of Iceland in order to have more horses around the place, it would take the edge of living in London, make people feel a bit more in tune with things. Oh yes and more butterflies around the place, sponsored by M+S of course, little insignia's on their wings, harmless.

That was an explosive post, Allfornun. If it's true i wonder what the neighbours up there will make of this. So much for M&S and all the rumours HAH!
