It has been confirmed this happened in Tessa Jowells constituency, clearly stated NOT in the Dulwich half of her constituency.

I can confirm the location of yesterday's Lambeth 'slavery' arrests was in the constituency of Tessa Jowell - Norwood/Tulse Hill/Herne Hill.

Tessa's constituency is split between Southwark and Lambeth but the arrests were in the Lambeth half - not Dulwich.

Maybe more newsworthy at present is that the Freedom charity says it has been approached by many more people since this story broke.

A gradual discovery that enslavement can happen anywhere, because as a spokesperson said on radio this morning, it is a fairly easy crime to conceal.

What a strange post, not sure what response the poster is looking for.


Anyhow this isn't really a revelation, there have been several programmes on TV about slavery in the past year or two. It's sad that in this day and age it still goes on, especially without others in the same street knowing anything about it. We have isolated ourselves so much, maybe we should be more aware of our neighbours. Sad to say gone are the days of people knowing everybody in their street.

Well it has been revealed on BBC News that the house they were found in wasn't built 30 years ago.


This would mean that they would all of moved at sometime if the story is credible.


Also revealed that the women were allowed out of the house at times.


Neighbour revealed that on one occasion when he knocked at their door all 5 occupants came to the door.


So there are a lot more questions to answer.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
