I sadly read about burglaries on this forum and really and i am in the mind set of expecting it, rather than not. Does anyone know of any current neighbourhood watch schemes...and if so where are they. Failing that surely with the forumites we can form a very strong ED watch. Maybe a new section on the forum landing page wholly dedicated to "Neighbourhood Watch". What are everyone's thoughts? Can this work? will it help tackle and reduce this? Can we name and shame people and ensure the police leverage this forum to get clearer messages out to our community?

There a quite a few active Neighbourhood Watch schemes in ED already. I made contact with our local organiser via the Safer Neighbourhood team for the College Ward (where I live). Work out which ward you are in and email the relevant address. Also, you can normally get a discount on your home insurance if you are an active member:

Following the recent burglaries in The Gardens and surrounding area, the Peckham Rye Safer Neighbourhood Team have organised a meeting on Monday 21st July at 7pm to form a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme in The Gardens. Don't know if that's near where you live but may be of interest to some on the forum - its to be held at Harris Girls School.

      Bitey Fox.

      By Babbit · Posted

      I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
