I watched the Millwall game last night and I was very surprised to see that there were so few people watching considering it was a local Derby (of sorts). It was a good family atmosphere though. Next game is on 6th August against Crystal Palace though so maybe will be a larger turnout for that.

Pulling it back to the original posting. East Dulwich station actually falls within South Camberwell. The station and Dog Kennel Hill are under the juristiction of South Camberwell Safer Neighbourhoods Team. I will bring up the concerns raised here at the next Safer Neighbourhoods Ward Panel meeting (which I chair) and request that presence at the station is prioritised in the early evenings as kids are coming home from school. Recent figures presented to us have not shown a high incidence of youth muggings in the area, so can I please urge people to report an such incidents to the police when they occur. The Safer Neighbourhood Team do respond to variations in the crime patterns across the ward and will liaise closely with neighbouring wards where necessary, but can only do so if there are aware that the crime is taking place.

Speaking as the 'nice man' previously mentioned in this thread I'd be delighted to answer any questions about the regeneration of the estate (East Dulwich Estate not Dog Kennel Hill Estate by the way. The name was changed in 1977, but not quite done correctly hence all these years on still some confusion). If Elizabeth (or anyone else) would like to call into the Albrighton Community Centre, one Saturday morning, I'll be happy to discuss the work that is being undertaken as part of the regeneration and give some idea of the potential costs to leaseholders of the works that are being carried out. I'll also be happy to extol the many virtues of the estate, such as the low crime and low fear of crime, amble parking, transport links, community and social activities and many more. The estate has a excellent sense of community and although it comprises people of all shapes and sizes from a host of countries around the world, there is a real sense of community that is often lacking in today's society. The estate is a good place to live and it is getting even better, so please call in Elizabeth and I'm sure any concerns you may have will be placated. Saturday Kids club re-opens on Saturday, 5th January from 10.00pm to 12.30pm. Offering a range of activities for children aged from 0 to 11 years. Admission is ?1 and this included healthy breakfast. Our under 5s sensory room will be open each week through January, and there is also a soft play section. For older kids there is pool and table tennis, arts and crafts (badge making, card making, calendar making, papier mach?, clay modeling), basketball, board games and internet access. Weather permitting we also have a bouncy castle and throughout the year we hold a number of themed fun days. When I have more time, I'll go into more detail about our toy library sessions, our soft play sessions, over 55s exercise and lunch club, our monthly tea dances, youth club, positive parenting classes, Bookstart, child minders group, ESOL, adult numeracy and literacy, IT introductory classes, exercise classes and supplementary education. We'll also be running a Easter and Summer play scheme this year and a raft of excursions throughout the summer holidays. To cap it all, Elizabeth, if you buy in Tidworth House you are in the catchment area for Dog Kennel Hill School, undoubtedly one of the best schools in the borough, with an ?outstanding? OFSTED rating.
