Hello,

did anyone see the group of four men hanging around on the corner of Ashbourne Gr and Lordship Lane this morning? Two were waiting near the atm, the other two in the car (dark grey ford galaxy). I live nearby so noticed them there for about 25 minutes this morning around 9am-9.25am I thought they may have been waiting for the bank to open, but they left before it did.


Or am I being paranoid having read too many threads on this forum?

Don't think you are being paranoid. Sounds like they were waiting to surprise someone at the cashpoint. Have seen it happen at the HSBC one. That time one man and he ran around corner and got in a waiting car. There was a spate of early morning robberies at the Barclays a few years ago.
I almost had my card nicked from there by a very basic Lebanese loop about a year ago but luckily managed to pull the contraption out of the card slot and retrieve my card. Reported it to the police. It was a metal coil that someone had inserted into the machine so it looked like the machine had swallowed my card. I was just about to walk off and leave it then realised and used my key to prize it out of the machine. I think someone would have been hanging around nearby hoping to get the card... Scuzz buckets!

I don't suppose you went in to the bank to report it?

Hi,

no... didn't think of it.

I took photos of the guys and got their car details so that if something did occur I could use that. But otherwise, no.


The Ashbourne/ Lordship Lane corner is a bit of a hotspot for unusual activity, with HSBC and Barclays on both corners. Does anyone know if there are CCTV cameras there - and if so, what their reach is?

I heard it said that local kids used to refer to Ashbourne Grove as 'the river', ie it ran between two banks.

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
