Overhere

Be aware that there seems to be a spate of bike thefts and muggings in and around the Village and Dulwich College. I know of three thefts and one mugging for a bike in the last month or so. My kids have seen dodgy types scouting out potential targets in the Village (and elsewhere?). I encourage people to report thefts so at least the police are aware,

You can report graffiti online to Southwark Council and they will remove it if on public property or on your own property and facing the street. The service is quite good. Just go online and report it (can be done anonymously). Just google Southwark Council and Graffiti.

perhaps, but that still doesn't change the fact that there have not been any serious accidents at all. I am sure there are some rude drivers, but I have encountered some rude cyclists who do not stick to the rules of the road, especially at that junction,

I am coming late to this thread, but just want add in yet another voice: As a pedestrian who uses that junction nearly every day, I am all for improving it. But removing the right hand turn is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I don't need any fancy studies (which are usually commissioned with an eye to confirming the commissioners' preconceived notions; he who pays the fiddler, calls the tune and all that). That smacks to me of typical special interest politics.Village Ward elections may be 3 years away, but I, for one, won't forget this.
