An elderly man was sadly murdered at the back of the little estate I live on, about 2 years ago.

Sadly the murderer was never found, and it did not make major headlines.

It is tragic. I never take my life here for granted.

I am not saying Get Over It.

I am saying this could have happened a mile away in Peckham, or across the park where I live - it just happened to be where it was.

first of all, deepest sympathies go out to the dead man's family.

Now, whilst I will defend everybodys right to say what they want I feel without this put into context, too many people will create a situation that will spell trouble for others who are innocent. The media will oversensationalise then the police will be even more ineffective with their heavy handed stop and searches of many innocent 'se15' types, which will complete the cycle with the young being alienated even further. It is highly unlikely that anyone on this forum will be at risk. Has anyone been this worried about the countless shooting( many indiscriminate) incidents that have taken place less than a mile away. Maybe we could be more vocal when any injustice takes place. Also, moving to the sticks isn't the answer, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors. My family have lived on upland road since 1962 and the incidents aren't indicative of the postcode, it is a sign of the times. Appreciate everyones views though- it should open the debate to discussing the causes and prevention of such tragic situations.

I agree with most of the above. I am probably over-reacting to the whole thing and it wouldnt be half as bad if was somewhere else but still it was a shock when it is on your doorstep. Hopefully the police will find the perpetrator and then we can move on.

I have had to register in order to place this comment. Quite frankly I am disgusted at some people on here. Someone died and that is terrible and your thoughts should be with his family right now as mine are. You shouldn't be making nasty snide remarks about postcodes, house prices etc it is insensitive. I live in SE22 and I do think it is shocking it has happened but at the end of the day these things can happen anywhere. Now stop being so horrible and show a bit of sensitivity.

Poor George who used to run the little post office on Crystal Palace Road was shot a few years ago a week before retireing. Someone was shot on Barry Road outside my old flat about 4 years ago. These things happen. Besides, didn't Dr Shipman live in the sticks? Just very nasty, but not the result of 2 strangers having a row I am sure!

This is my favourite quote from the London Paper article


"Tom Greene, 80, who lives close to the scene said: "The area has become really terrible. Every night you can hear

shouting and bawling. Gangs of up to six shouting in street slang, mumbo jumbo."


Especially gangs of "up to 6"

"People think this is a really nice area and it is, superficially at least, but they have no idea. It is ten minutes from Peckham and the area is rife with crime."



I had no idea that Peckham was so close! I'm a bag of nerves, is there anyway we can move it further away?

No they don't

No he didn't. Please don't exaggerate unnecessarily to cause alarm and perhaps show some respect.

The article from the the standard is what you might expect: sensationalist (gangland shooting - really? is there any evidence of this- photograph of dead mans feet sticking out etc etc (oh and where is the girls school converted into flats on barry road?)

"I'd like to repeat exactly what Dave, UK just said. Only I'd like to add that I'd put a Berlin Wall type structure round Peckham (since the area has nothing of any interest inside it) and put them all inside it.


- Sarah Bradshaw, Enfield, Middx"


Well obviously living in Enfield you'd know all about Peckham wouldn't you Sarah!

"...given the event occurred so close to the SE22/SE15 divide"...... what ?


er this is SE22 all the way. The only divide is rubber shoes, folk revival and terrible education in all things culinary.


By the time the Liberal executive get hold of this you lot will get a new library, a 24hr manned police station complete with horses and a couple of new publicly funded but post code private schools.

Well when I go to Barry's Off License and Grocer - Run by a 19 year old according the BBC I often see groups of people entering and leaving the shop. Horrifying must all be gangs! Oh no now I remember they have been buying things in the shop.

And then there's the gangs of people getting out of their red cars - Mercedes Benzy Buses they scare me too!

I quite often used to jump off the number 12 bus on Barry Road opposite the crime in question. It was always quiet whatever time of night. I never noticed any gangs, always thought it was a good road bar the traffic.


This is a very tragic event for victim, family and friends.

Nothing like an anecdotal unfounded theory post.


Most of you are statistically more likely to be abducted by a UFO than be a victim of gun crime.

      Yet another burst main... major leak on Lordship Lane nr junction with Barry Rd

      By Hen123 · Posted

      I was talking to my brother in the law last weekend who works for a different water company. He said he and his colleagues watch TW’s woes with a mixed of horror, disbelief and then relief that they work for a different water company. Worth a watch. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00284vt

      But Thatcher is dead. Nobody since has brought the utilities back under public ownership (if that's the right term). So there are many people who could be blamed. Meanwhile the shareholders get richer and everyone else gets increasing bills and a poorer service. Plus as said above, a massive waste of a limited resource like water. Not to mention the polluted rivers and seas. At least the privatisation of the railways is being reversed. Hopefully water may be on the list somewhere.

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Sue · Posted

      That's really helpful. Do the Community Councils still exist? It sounds to me that whoever the contact is on the council who has sorted out the North Cross Road notice board and put the new list of councillors in it must at least have access to the key for that one? Unless it was one of the unlocked ones. And of course if somebody knows where the keys are, they may have no idea that people are looking for them or that this forum thread exists. Which are the notice boards which are not locked?  The very helpful locksmith near the station (?Callows?)  might be able to provide keys for them, or if not, new locks, in return for some local publicity? In fact, they may be able to advise in general, rather than keep trying unresponsive people at the council. But then of course there is still the question of who is going to take responsibility for putting appropriate East Dulwich community information into them and updating it as necessary.

      Our residents' association used to have keys many moons ago, but when locks were changed, we tried everyone (including ward councillors) to get keys to no avail. A couple of boards are not locked. The Community Councils originally paid for all the notice boards in Dulwich. May have come under the Cleaner Greener budget.
