Police told me it?s happening between 1-4am.

Please see police thread here for advice /forum/read.php?5,2060788,page=2

Please see below update from the Goose Green Safer Neighbourhood team in relation to the high number of car break-ins recently - they've asked me to help get the message out that if you see people acting suspiciously around cars, please call 999 and don't leave anything valuable in car / on show. ---------- Please be aware the recent theft from vehicle crime in our area. We have increased our foot & mobile patrols in the ward. We are in patrol both in plain clothes and uniform. Please report any suspicious behaviour. Here is some crime prevention advice for your reference: How to keep your vehicle safe and sound Having your car broken into and losing your things to thieves can be very distressing. Here are a few simple steps you can take to keep your vehicle, and what?s in it, safe. 1. Always lock it Fuelling up or popping back into your house to get something are perfect examples of how easy it is to turn your back for a moment and forget your vehicle is unsecured. So get into the habit of locking your vehicle even if you?re only going to be away from it for a moment. 2. Close windows and the sun roof to prevent ?fishing? Leaving windows and the sunroof open invites fishing for items through the gap by hand or with, say, a bent coat hanger, which could also be used to unlock a door for them to get in. Thieves can be ingenious. Don?t give them the opportunity. 3. Secure your number plates with tamper-resistant screws The easiest way to change the identity of a stolen vehicle or avoid speeding tickets and parking tickets is to fit stolen number plates. Using security screws to attach your vehicle?s number plates makes it harder for thieves to get your number. 4. Fit locking, anti-tamper wheel nuts to secure alloy wheels Stolen wheels are valuable, either as parts or for their scrap value. Using locking wheel nuts reduces the risk of your vehicle?s wheels being stolen. 5. Secure anything that?s on the outside of your vehicle Anything left on roof-racks, tailgate racks, holiday top boxes or in tool chests are easily stolen when the vehicle is parked. The use of cable locks, padlocks and self-locking tools chests, which are secured to the vehicle, makes them more secure, but still, don?t leave things in them if you can avoid it. For further information and advice, visit Sold SecureExternal Link. 6. Take it with you or hide it Your mobile phone, coins for the car park, sunglasses, packs of medication or other items that can earn quick cash are irresistible to the opportunist thief. Remember, the cost of replacing a window is often much more than that of what?s stolen. And it should go without saying that wallets, handbags, purses and credit cards should never be left in an unattended vehicle. 7. Hide electrical items and leave no clues Leaving sat nav mounts, suction cup marks on windows or cables on view gives it away that you have left a Sat Nav, smartphone or other device in your car. Even if they can?t see the Sat Nav or iPad they might still break in to see if it?s stored in the car, out of sight. 8. Tool theft from vans Vans are often targeted by thieves for the tools stored inside. If you have to leave tools in a van overnight, it's a good idea to mark them clearly with your name / company name and address using paint pens and seal with a clear lacquer spray. Alternatively, you can use a variety of other property marking systems. Items that are clearly marked are less desirable and more difficult to sell on. Consider using a lockable cabinet within your van to store tools ? a number of security rated products are available. Small cameras are also designed to record inside vehicles. You can also take photographs of items of value, make a note of the serial numbers and consider registering them online at a property register site. 9. Park in well-lit and busier areas It can take less than 30 seconds to break into a vehicle. Parking in well-lit areas and busy streets increases the chances of a thief being seen, so they?ll probably steer clear. 10. Take your documents with you Having a vehicle?s registration and insurance documents could let a thief pretend to be the owner. Which means they could sell it on quite easily. So, never leave any documents in the vehicle. 11. Choose your car park wisely If possible, always try to park in well-lit and staffed car parks or those with a Park Mark safer parking award. To find one, simply check out Park Mark. Catalytic converter theft The precious metal in catalytic converters has led to an increase in their theft. To keep yours safe, ask your car dealer if they can give you any advice on locks or guards that are approved by the vehicle manufacturer. Alternatively, try to make sure your vehicle is parked in a garage overnight, or if you have a commercial vehicle park it in a secure compound. If this isn?t possible, park in an area that?s well-lit and overlooked and try to park so that the convertor can?t be easily reached by potential thieves. Vehicles that sit high above the road are particularly vulnerable. You should also register your converter and mark it with a forensic marker, which will make it harder for thieves to dispose of.

I think there?s a lot to be said for ease of logistics on the school run each day, especially with young children. The journey from near The Villa to Herne Hill is tricky.

Agree the monitoring sites included are not relevant and interestingly what would be the most relevant one Southwark monitors - which is on Calton Ave - is missed off. It was included here though https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/southwark-air-quality-pollution-invisible-killer-revealed/ but Alleyn's think it's all good - no air quality issues.

I phoned Southwark today to ask the same question - it took awhile but they eventually confirmed the proof of child?s address / dob is not required. Once places are offered a school might request it, but not at this stage

Those roads come under the Dulwich Hill ward, not Goose Green - for more info re ward boundaries see here http://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/lgbce/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/28893/Southwark_F_Sht1_SO.pdf For details on Dulwich Hill ward?s Safer neighbourhood Police team see https://www.met.police.uk/a/your-area/met/southwark/dulwich-hill/ or @MPSDulwichHill on Twitter

Thanks for sharing, have you reported this to the Police?

The next contact session held by Goose Green ward's neighbourhood police team is Thursday 9th Jan 1pm at Grove Vale Library. Please pop in to meet the new officers and discuss any crime concerns.

Looks as though it?s to do with the sports ground, not the junior school expansion. A different planning application.

Copying a tweet from Goose Green?s Safer Neighbourhood Police Team...(see Twitter @MPSgoosegreen) Reminder: SNT GOOSE GREEN contact session on 17DEC 19 at 1 PM @ GROVE VALE LIBRARY, please come along and speak to us.

If you've got keyless entry or a remote key fob where you press button to unlock I recommend buying a 'car key signal blocker pouch' from eBay to stop criminals being able to transmit the signal from your key fob. It happened quite a few times before we got them, not once since. In the meantime I believe keeping keys in the fridge or wrapped in tin foil has the same effect.

Thanks to everyone who came to last night's meeting. PC Fodor gave an update on the main areas of crime in our ward, here are my brief notes: Burglary - reduced Sep-Nov compared to last year, the Neighbourhood team have done lots of high vis patrols, leaflet distribution and follow up advice Theft - Shoplifting & bag theft are the main issues. Neighbourhood team has been working with local pubs / traders to maintain a high level of CCTV, make customers aware of bag thieves & encourage reporting of shoplifting. Vehicle offences - catalytic convertor theft from hybrids is an issue, as in other wards. Advice is to park in a well lit area as close to your property as possible, use a catalytic convertor protection device or marking system. Robberies - targeted operation has reduced secondary school children being targeted in order to steal their mobile phones. Neighbourhood team are continuing to patrol to focus on this. The meeting also hears from any residents who wish to raise concerns, interestingly most were to do with vehicles speeding locally - Crawthew Grove (wrong way down one-way), Fellbrigg, Ulverscroft, ED Grove, Townley & ED Road all highlighted and will be passed to the Safer Transport Team for further consideration. Community Speedwatch was also mentioned and there was interest in setting this up locally. Please follow @MPSGooseGreen on Twitter, or see Nextdoor for updates.

The council needs to explain how they can declare a Climate Emergency then sanction this operation which is burning diesel to power it?s lights in the middle of beautiful sunny day. Totally unnecessary. I hope our local councillors can help resolve this quickly.

Are they definitely diesel generators? If so I?m even more appalled at Southwark Council for allowing this, the same council that recently declared a climate emergency and paid for ivy green screening to help keep diesel fumes away from the children playing in the playground side of the park.

Yes please report, the more details the better

Completely agree Goldilocks and would be interested to hear from James on this. I would expect some kind of consultation with local residents before fencing off such a large part of our local green open space for a month.

Nope, we have the one you describe (not keyless) and ours has been cloned and rummaged through 3 times before we got the pouches I recommend above.

Although it could be argued some routes are unnecessary and could be done via public transport or cycling instead. This 2016 comprehensive report states ?The majority of pupils using the coach service, some 65%, are transported less than four miles? https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/quietway-in-dulwich/supporting_documents/2016_Dulwich%20Coach%20Service%20Study_published.pdf

In addition to the above panel meeting, the local Goose Green ward Neighbourhood Police team have also confirmed the below dates on Twitter @MPSGooseGreen for their regular contact sessions - pop in to Grove Vale Library to meet them and discuss any concerns / ask questions. First one is tomorrow. 22/11/2019 @ 3pm 29/11/2019 @ 4pm 06/12/2019 @ 1pm 10/12/2019 @ 1pm 17/12/2019 @ 1pm 03/01/2020 @ 4pm 10/01/2020 @ 1pm 17/01/2020 @ 1pm

Buy a ?car key signal blocking pouch? from eBay, we had the same issue but this stopped them cloning the signal. Or in the short term I believe wrapping in tin foil or putting key in the fridge has the same effect.

Please, please switch of engines in queuing traffic. This road already has illegal levels of pollution from the traffic without the additional fumes from so many cars idling away sitting in the queue going nowhere. Interestingly pollution can be worse inside the car, upto 3 times especially when sat in heavy traffic pulling in the fumes from the exhaust infront. Experts refer to it as ?sitting inside a toxic box? 🤢

What day?

Did this a few days ago but no voucher yet.

Last day to have your say.
