Why..?? 
 In other countries, no one makes such a song and dance..

We are only talking about a cutting - years ago, one would ask but now, people don’t even se each other - let alone ask .. everyone is busy..

Says it all, when someone takes what? A cutting at night and on CCTV….

More important things in world I would have thought.. so at Halloween, when one has trick and treat, all going to be monitored on CCTV.. just in case a fight breaks out.. 

One chooses to live in a city, so just get on with it - rich & poor alike / ED is what?

 

 

Oh, so it is fine to take a cutting from a park? But not in passing in a front garden??

Have you read the OP?

this makes me realise how the world has changed...in the 90's I lived in Chelsea which you'd assume was a pretty safe neighbourhood..One night someone stole my beautiful and heavy  (they were made of stone or concrete) fully planted windowboxes from my windowsills..I lived in a raised ground floor flat with a pretty steep drop to the basement, They must have climbed over the railings on the stairs and onto the sill then passed them to an accomplice..Impossible to do this solo. They also stole a beautiful stone owl that I had on the sill.

I reported the theft to the police-this was the days before ring doorbells etc-they came filed a report and description of the stolen goods AND I got a letter and phone call from victims support!

    • Have you seen there is now information on the two notice boards in Camberwell Old Cemetery about the history of the cemetery and who is buried there
    • Everyone’s Invited made for shocking reading and, your right, the story never seemed to gain much traction. The whole thing felt very shady. 
    • Unfortunately there are two ways of examining this, if we even had the figures. The first is simply to look at the revenues paid to the Council and see if the costs (in terms of setting it up and recovery from it, including administrative cost) are less than the revenues. This would be quite simple to do assuming we could agree the proper allocation of those costs. But additionally we have the amenity cost to those Southwark residents either (a) losing amenity value through e.g. disruption, and secondly losing amenity value by being excluded from parts of a public park for an extended period in summer. That is not a fiscal cost to the council and clearly they don't give a damn, but that would be the only way of judging whether this event was of overall net benefit to Southwark residents, the only people who the council should be 'working' for. Don't hold your breaths.
