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.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
