Our local Police station Peckham is to close along with catford and many more this will leave one Police Station per Borough the one for Southwark is the small one at Carter st so even less chance of seeing a copper.

I believe the plan is only to close the front counter service, which was only dealing with, on average, 2.1 crime reports per day; the plan being to free up counter staff for more on-street duties, so possibly more chance of seeing a copper rather than less. Not entirely desirable, but not quite a closure of the entire station.

If stations are to be "closed" where will fast response officers be based? Will they all be mobile in cars and vans or parked up in places waiting to respond to incidents taking place.


IMO another short sighted idea of this new policing method.

That's what I thought. 10 years or more. ??

As above, it's only the front desk that's closing, the stations (except Camberwell) will still have the same roster of officers. Obviously ideally government cuts wouldn't have made this necessary, but given a choice between an underused counter service and 170 extra constables it's a no-brainer.

I would suggest we ALL be proactive, look on the Southwark website for the phone number of our local Safer Neighbourhood Teams and put that number in our phones. In my experience the SNTs are very active and aware of what is going on. On occasions I have had to call they do turn up. Not always immediately but then they're not 999! The SNT reads EDF and they also host meetings every two months. Ours in Nunhead and Peckham Rye is at the Waverly pub. I think if there is nothing we can do about the cuts and changes, then we can at least be proactive to learn how we CAN contact them when we need.

Apologies Peckham Rose. It's a bit of a throwback to when I was last working. 2008.

It was a bit of a BUZZ word and all our managers were telling us to get 'Proactive'

The Blair Government were spouting it out at the time, and we all know what happened

when Gordon Brown got Proactive back in 2008.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
