We need a local police station, AND community police officers on the streets after dark.

with the dark evenings now and with christmas around the corner (meaning more people carrying cash) I suspect we may well see an increase in this.

As a woman I must admit I'm always on edge walking home from work in the dark

The police station at Whately Road was un-manned for years at night before it eventually closed. It was a useful place to be able to report events during the working week - but it is police out on the streets patrolling, not in the canteen or behind the desk, which will act as a crime deterrent. We are much closer to a police station, even now, than most people who live in the country, or in the big suburbs of the towns.


Having a bunch of cops sitting behind desks in Whately Road was never a comfort, seeing foot, or even car patrols was. We don't, in fact, need a police station back - we do need intelligent local policing which, if there is any upswing of local crime in Dulwich will place resources here to counter it - moving them on when the job is done. We also need good intelligence, and the reports on this forum (echoed, one would hope, by reports to the police themselves) will help here.

I find it hard to believe that scum walking around ED with balaclavas etc can't be spotted or searched or picked up by the wonderful police. I say again - ED residents are like gazelle being picked off at the whim of the criminal scum.

We used to have a police station but the local politicos were too busy flirting with Waitrose etc, and knocking down hospitals to build schools for the kids. No hospital to look after you when you've been violently mugged, & no cops. Still, you can eat waitrose in a picture house.

That's really unfair unlurked. "local politicos" fought to keep East Dulwich Police station for many many years. We stopped Ken Livingstone closing it. We stopped Boris the first time he tried. We failed the second time Boris decided to close it after he stated bold as brass he never would only in May 2012.

Amazingly "local politicos" are able to work on more than one problem at a time.


Knocking down hospitals. We fought against the Dulwich Hospital being down sized and part s being knocked down. We tried 'saving the onions'. But now it has been seriously downsized and much knocked down we have to work with that reality.


I'm amazed you're then criticising us for wanting to make sure we have enough school places and would like to have the ability to see a film at a cinema in East Dulwich.


We all need to look out for each other more. AND report everything to the Police either as 999 or 101. Currently the Police are chuffed that reported crime has gone down so much and they think this re enforces their decision to close the Police station and largely withdraw from the area. The Police haven't done any research to see how much of any such reduction is due to closing the Police station where people often reported crime!

Oh dear oh dear.


It would be sort of funny except that it isn't.

Remember that you can report non-urgent crimes online and the police will give you a call back with a crime reference number (if appropriate) and to talk it through.


Lots of info on which number/process to use on the Met's website

pc adrian crust was, and still is, our local beat bobby. sadly he has to get here from camberwell these days. I still see him round and about, but not s much as before. lordship lane is still a thriving shopping street and thieves are just as enthusiastic and devious. it is just that you have to phone up and hope someone will come back to you.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
