My dear old dad said to me the other day, "People paid atleast ?10000 over the odds to live around here, it doesnt make sence" LOL!


Not everybody is a snob Honk, but there are a lot around here. And for what, a 3 bed terraced house on the arse end of peckham.

Brendan. I have reviewed your sticks and imost of them are good solid sticks so i have given your bunch a AAA stick rating. Sure, some of the bunch are small and useless but who cares, put the big ones on the outside and you can get a good price for those sticks, noone will notice the little sticks on the inside. By the time your buyer discovers the little sticks, you will be long gone mate.

I'm not even going to answer such a pointless comment.

I don't see how it's pointless Honk, you're the only person on this thread who has suggested that skin colour should be a reasonable criteria for crime prevention investment.


If you don't want people to draw the logical conclusion that skin colour is a major influence in your dealings with people, then you're going the wrong way about it.

Take a look at the East Dulwich Police Safer Neighbourhood Team newsletter:


ED SNT Newsletter


That money I arranged has helped to see a dramatic reduction in household burglary, a dramatic reduction in shop crime.

We're looking at further ideas.


The East Dulwich Lib Dem cllrs want East Dulwich to became one of the very lowest crime ward in London.


One request the Police often make to me is they wish people would report crime and other intelligence to them so they have the big picture of what is happening locally.

Regards james barber

Liberal Democrat councillor for East Dulwich

Thanks for telling us what you arranged councillor.


Could you please also explain how much money was spent on installing Help Points around the Borough which were never functional and have recently been removed at great expense?


Was that your idea too?

Hi Theehope,

The talking help points.

These were not my idea.

However, when this was originally mooted I was expecting the successful idea of existing CCTV cameras to have have micrphones and speakers added. CCTV computers programmed to recognise certain noise profiles which indicate a problem and then the CCTV operator tells the perpetrator they are being recorded and 9/10 times they stop.

Unfortunately this was not what was project managed.


I'm afraid I don't remember the exact sums but it was around sixty something thousand pounds for something like 20 help points around the borough. One was next to the pizza place next to East Dulwich station.


It appears one of those cases where a government grant was available. This carrot was bitten without thinking through the consequences. The current executive councillor Linda Manchester is wise enough to avoid such pitfalls.


But Theehope what do you think would reduce crime in East Dulwich. We've given out over 1,000 property marking kits (1 in 5 households), every shop has an Alertbox. What should we do next?

Yeah... but no but aren't more Acado vans being held up though?



Obviously by Boden wearing stripy topped "Baddies"......


"Look just hand over the Balsamic & the Extra virgin cold pressed....Now! or i'll biff your nose in"



Police are looking for a man wearing trodden down espadrilles and salmon coloured cords.


Race unknown.

Hi macroban,

If you google 'talking cctv cameras' you get loads of stuff:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6524495.stm

http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/about-us/news/talking-cctv

The schemes implimented so far don't seem to have sufficient scale to prove anything eitherway. Equally they generally are aimed at reducing low level anti social behaviour that isn't reliably recorded such as instances of littering.

My brother gets mugged every day. Last night chased by three black boys screaming ''Get him! Get his bike!''. That is my evidence of ED being full of crime & getting worse. Generally speaking, the stabbing that happened on LL, people on this forum who have been jumped & robbed of their ipods & phones...


Just saying, you've gotta be pretty stupid if you need convincing that ED is in fact getting worse. If you bothered to get out more, you'd probably find sooner or later you'll be one of the victims.

Can't decide whether or not this is a joke.


Is it?

My thoughts go out to your brother who it would seem is the unluckiest person in the world.

I and my entire family have been 'getting out' in ED for many many years and none of us have been mugged, stabbed or shot.

I do believe that crime is an issue in London, I do not believe (and will not until someone shows me some hard evidence) that it is on the increase, before this forum, you may well have not heard about all the incidents, this does not mean that they weren't happening.

    • Thanks for posting this JMK we have had 3 children at Charter East so have been involved with the school from the very early days and have watched the impact of inconsistent, unsupportive and at worst unprofessional and biased management on them over the years. Individual teachers have at times been great and as JMK says it is the overall structure that creates a toxic and punitive atmosphere which directly impacts some families more than others and these are the kids overwhelmingly that have an SEN.  The experience of these families is night and day compared with the families with children that can cope in this system.  
    • Another recommendation for Lukasz, he sorted out our bifold door. He came at the agreed time, found the issue very quickly, adjusted it, all very carefully and with attention to detail. And he was very reasonably priced as well. 
    • Well sure someone will correct me but years ago, in Singapore and I was quite young so not sure if it is true. but if you were caught stealing, your little finger or just the  tip part with nail was chopped off.  Stigma for  life as all know that was punishment for stealing… no questions asked.Totally agree it is barbaric but equally putting people  into overcrowded prison for minor offences is also not right. Tagging I guess would not work or maybe does… no idea at all.  Not so long ago, heard a talk about how European’s cope/deal with prisoners and how the suggest rate is higher and offences lowered greatly as in not going back to prison for same  or another offence.  The general gist was their approach was each prisoner mattered , was heard and listens to and a suitable package was tailored towards their needs. Not  b one package for all. Not cooped up for the majority of the day - encouraged as an example to cook, garden, grow food, other household stuff  plus study if wanted for courses, languages etc. and mental health, dependency on substance abuse also addressed. Can’t remember if they were paid c pocket money which clearly accumulated or could be used to  I purchase whatever in prison. If they can do it by experimenting and I think but not sure, at the time an English prison was learning why can’t this sort of program be rolled  out throughout UK - cut backs not an excuse - think of the millions lost by govt during Covid…  Maybe it is - no experience in the matter at all.   
    • Why have things got so complicated? I suppose a cat flap with a timer might be useful for people out all day but can't really see the point of them when its so easy to flip a simple mechanical lock. This is how my last cat flap operated but had to be replaced when cat wearing cone of shame tried to escape and broke it. The cat flap I have now is one of those linked to cats microchip but even then there is just a four way dial which allows different kinds of access - or not. Not that cat is bothered, refuses to use it and demands i open the door for her. This is bit of a rant because along with a new boiler I got a new electronic programmer which is really annoying as it takes 5 minutes to change a simple temperature whereas with old programmer it took 10 seconds. Hope you get sorted @oglander and enjoy your future servitude to your feline master.
