Hello

Hello everyone,

 

I have some very sad news to share. Many of you will know Akif from Dulwich Dry Cleaners on Lordship Lane, and I thought you might like to be aware that the shop will be closed soon for his funeral.

 

Tragically, Akif has passed away from injuries sustained in a vicious dog attack.

How awful. Poor man. Was he from the dry cleaners near the Post Office?

Unless I've misunderstood, it seems that the police were already aware that this was a dangerous dog, so why wasn't it removed from its owner before?

 

That is correct, the chap with the beard by the post office.

I'm heartbroken to read this. He was such a nice guy.

I'd like to lay some flowers outside the shop, does that sound appropriate?

That sounds thoughtful and lovely of you. I would personally go inside the shop and ask and see what they would prefer. I am sure they will be touched that you/we feel his loss within the community.

I was working on the assumption they would be closed when I did it

The guy running Mr Simms (apologies, I don't know your name) has a collection going, he's going to ask the family if flowers are acceptable or donate to charity.

If anyone wishes to donate, go see him

Thank you for this, I’ve passed the message on to others. That is a lovely gesture. The owner at Mr Simms is called David.

Depend on religion it can be very soon. 

Yes I agree but they have to prepare for a court case which will require huge amounts of evidence?

in other circumstances it would be an almost immediate burial

As he died of wounds in a hospital there would be no need of a post mortem. The recorded circumstances and the death certificate would be sufficient in any court case. For those whose faith requires swift burial, courts and coroners are generally careful to meet requirements. Hold ups are generally only likely where defendants dispute cause of death, highly unlikely in these circumstances.

The BBC report says the owner was due in at Snaresbrook Crown Court on the 6 January.  Has anyone seen any reports regarding that?

      Buying land from council?

      By vladi · Posted

      I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.

      Buying land from council?

      By Ais · Posted

      Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.

      I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
