Adrian Crust is retiring!


He has been the Bobby on the Beat in East Dulwich for decades. He has ASKED to stay in East Dulwich and they let him which is very unusual.


My son grew up with him standing outside Goodrich School talking to the kids and I'll bet a lot of you and your children know him as well


We've been asked to think of something and what came up was


"gift vouchers" for a meal or more at restaurants on Lordship Lane. I was thinking that a restaurant might even step forward and offer a gift voucher to him as they all know him.



Any ideas? Do you run a restaurant or know anyone who does?


This man gave his working life to walking up and down our streets.


It has to happen this week! Think fast and offer things directly to him or club together.


Let's inundate him with thanks!

He really is a great guy. Both my boys know him from school and one a little better after running out of the house and getting lost when he was 4. PC Crust came and spoke to him once he was found and was brilliant. Wouldn't it be great if more than one restaurant and perhaps even the cinema offered vouchers so Adrian and his wife could have more than one night out. Every shop and restaurant owner must know him. I'll certainly be very sad that he'll no longer be on our streets.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
