The newly landscaped Dulwich Square

Notice how those who claim they will wear their "Foe List" badges want you to know who they are? Its not a get together; its an ID parade to find those guilty of wrong think.

You sound like fun company 🤣

 Many people on here know who I am, if you are having a dig at me,  because I've never felt the need to keep it a secret.

The forum drinks are a social occasion, not an opportunity to fight with people you disagree with on the forum 

The "foe list" badges are a joke. Which doesn't mean I won't be wearing one 🤣

Yes.  It's very sad. In the original meaning of the word

I don't know about that. The transport section is pretty awful, but only because some use every conversation as a way to relitigate the changes around Calton Avenue. I'm aware I contribute by responding to those posts, but it is difficult when any discussion, of any transport topic, invariably gets brought back to this five year obsession a handful of people have.

But what Earl said was true.

Well, I think the word obsessive is unnecessary and it does take more than one viewpoint to continue that conversation

That's also true!

[Rockets]

And really, does suggesting a pedestrian crossing over the cycle track qualify as relitigating a decision made years ago? Or is this a case of choosing a narrative to suit a specific agenda - an agenda I hasten to add that appears to give no credence to any voice other than supporting ones.

Yes, and it is the same few individuals that systematically ascribe certain character traits (flaws) to anyone that disagrees with their perspective. The changes made in Dulwich Village will continue to be referenced for all kinds of reasons; not least the manner in which decisions were made and rolled out, against the majority wishes of those consulted, and may bear similarities to a forthcoming decision for the proposed Melbourne South CPZ- which also seems to have been rejected by the majority of those consulted.

PCSOs have been door-knocking on streets around the Square due to problems with crime in the area and are telling people that the road closures have led to an increase in crime, in particular phone thefts, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and crash scams and for residents to be alert and to buy cameras, crook-looks and what to do if someone tries to crash-scam them.

Does not sound like something the police would be telling people. Where did you hear this?

No evidence of rising crime from the official stats on the METs crime map.

@SNT - Dulwich Hill please could you confirm whether police are telling people that the traffic filter on Carton Avenue introduced 5 years ago has led to an increase in crime, and if so provide some details please? Thanks.

A PCSO knocking on people's doors giving residents leaflets about how to combat crime in the area......they said that the road closures had lead to increases in crime - for example there is a real problem with moped scams at the moment where mopeds deliberately drive into cars to make insurance claims - they circle around Court Lane through to Townley looking for women in cars and drive into them - to make false insurance claims. It is happening daily and they hate it when people go to the aid of the driver.

[Rockets]

Yes, they were knocking on everyone's door - two of them working the streets around the Square handing out a crime advice leaflet.

[Earl Aelfheah]

So you live in the LTN? 

@SNT - Dulwich Hill please can you explain why the police are (allegedly) telling people that the traffic filter on Carton Avenue has led to an increase in crime, and point to your evidence for this please?

@Earl Aelfheah yup I do and I have been very clear about that on here. Do you find it shocking that someone benefitting from an LTN can have concerns about them, especially the negative impact they have on others not within their boundaries?

You seem to be directing your wrath and fury at @SNT - Dulwich Hill but should you not be trying to scream at SNT Dulwich Village instead?

I don't find it 'shocking' I just hadn't picked up on the fact that you lived 'in the LTN' (not sure what that actually means, as it's not really an LTN, just a traffic filter at one junction). Do you have to drive round now by any chance? That must be a mild inconvenience - the kind of thing that could obsess a man for half a decade I would have thought 😉

Wrath and fury? Are you ok? I'm just trying to verify that the police are telling people that there has been an increase in crime as the result of a traffic filter. As I said, it does not sound like something the police would be telling people, and isn't what the published data on recorded crime shows. SNT Dulwich Village aren't on the forum as far as I'm aware, so tagged their colleagues.

It came across as if you were angrily demanding an explanation!

Well, the PCSO said exactly that so clearly something is going on - and they were knocking on every house door to alert people to the crimes that are happening in the area and seemingly trying to pro-actively mitigate some of the issues.

Ha ha, @Earl Aelfheah unlike your "55% majority support for Dulwich Village LTN" the info I shared is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth! 

You might not like it but the PCSO was very clear.

That is not a quote from me, so don’t put it in quotation marks as if it were. 

It’s a deliberate misrepresentation. Your constant nonsense is getting very tedious.

Wow. What a sad response. Maybe get that Lordship Pain treated - might help you find your sense of humour.
