If you took all the speculative threads on here to the letter, you could probably frighten yourself into a coma quite easily.

I'm sure it's safe and I'm sure it's me being an idiot.....but really, it would be nice for everyone to post about their positive experiences cos, now i is sh*****g myself, innit.

Honestly - there is nothing to worry about - if you've lived almost anywhere else in London you were more in danger walking home. I don't think anyone ever posts about the time they got a bus home and nothing happened though.


I've lived here for years, and the only trouble I've ever had was a very polite middle-class sounding mugger on Uplands Road who I pushed over a wall.

Sally, take comfort from the fact that this sort of things goes on all the time and just because some people have taken to posting everything that happens doesn't make it any worse


When I moved here 8 years ago the place was awash with police yellow signs asking for help. They stopped doing that not because the incidents stopped happening but because it made people feel jumpy


It it better to know about everything? You could make a case but when you can clearly see people on here saying ridiculous things like the place is becoming a "ghetto" well then I would argue that people are better off not posting. It doesn't seem to have helped anybody in any practical sense but it sure makes the place (and I mean the forum not the area) a lot less fun to be in


Free speech and all that means you can't STOP people posting about this stuff but it's best ignored. Spending ?30 on cabs for safety sake is no way to live a life..

Tht was me, you ****, I jut wanted to ask the time!

The incident happened 7.30ish Saturday night and was a dispute between adults, no "yoofs" were involved. It was a very heated argument which resulted in a stabbing, though no major injuries were incurred. Police were called by neighbours and the miscreant arrested within the hour.

Unless you were one of the arguing parties then it is very unlikely it would comprimise neighbourhood safety.

Sally, I'm newish to East Dulwich and agree with the person who said that no one is going to post about the time they walked from the bus stop and nothing happened. I moved here around the time that postings on incidents on Barry Road began appearing. Starting with a crash involving an Ikea lorry! If it hadn't been for this forum I would not even have heard about it. My point is that I haven't lived in another area which has such an active internet forum, thus you will hear stories like this you would otherwise be unaware of.


I moved here from Peckham (hence my imaginative username) and if it had an internet forum as active and informative as this one I don't think I would have been able to step foot out the door.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.
