And the noise more deafening than last night.. No warnings or info through the door, it shouldn't be allowed??!

I have the original plan of works along East Dulwich Grove they sent round months ago and it says all works would be done between 0800 and 1700.. It mentions the night road closure (scheduled for May!) but nothing about them doing it at night. How will we sleep?! Not sure of the rules but it can't be right!

They are resurfacing the road now. It's deafening, and getting on for 11 pm. Hopefully it won't be an all-nighter...

Stabbing. They were searching for the knife for ages outside my house, as we saw the person (youth) who did it run away down Glengarry. We are not sure if they found said knife but they had a dog searching for it for quite a while. It's depressing, this corner of Glengarry is a crime hotspot. In the 3 years I've lived here there have been at least 5 crimes - mugging (me), assault, break-ins etc. Bring back youth clubs!

Hi everyone, thanks for your kind and funny comments! Love the idea of a van balcony, I'll look into it :) it's different cars that just seem to pick on the van, it's odd. We realise space is at a premium but there are some houses with 2 cars that take up more space! C

Ha! Van is new and shiny and I dare not bump its ends! Note left on windscreens is a good idea, I should have thought of that really! Many thanks.

This isn't particularly interesting but I wondered if anyone knew the legality of the situation where you can't use your car because 2 others have sandwiched it? I needed to use my van this evening (it's for my partner's business) but I can't as it's been parked bumper to bumper on both sides. I don't know who owns the 2 cars. Irksome! It's on Glengarry Road and I use it regularly so it's not been sitting in the same place yet this keeps happening. It's no larger than an estate car, and it's not a luxury, yet we feel we are being punished somehow! Thoughts appreciated! Thanks Cab

I live right next to where this happened and didn't hear a thing, when usually I hear everything that goes on in that alley. I think despite recommendations for self-defence classes, alarms etc, screaming etc, when someone is threatening you and you are terrified there's not a lot you can do. I was mugged on my doorstep (poor Glengarry Road!) a year ago and despite screaming very loudly, no one heard me apart from one of neighbours but even then they thought it was just a fox. I was being vigilant, wasn't drunk, did'nt have my phone out or headphones in but was just followed and before I knew it was on the ground having had my bag ripped from me. It all happens very quickly.

How does the local business know, I wonder? I hope this isn't true.

Lots of police, a cordon, and men in white boiler suits sniffing around behind the butchers. What's going on I wonder? (let's hope those 'pork chops' from William Rose were actually from a pig...!)

So sorry this happened to you. Exactly the same thing happened to me a year ago - I was followed down Melbourne Grove and then attacked and mugged on my front door step as I was putting the keys in. Lost my bag and lots of confidence!! It comes back, don't worry, you will feel normal and safe again. I assumed they didn't find the person who did this to me but the police were nice all the same.

Hi Marion, I would be interested in joining this group! I don't think there is anything like this in the local area, I did sme research a while ago. It would be good for people like us to be able to get together. chloe.

Oh nooo! That is such a shame. Dr Ghosh is really nice, I would recommend him, but I am not sure if he is a locum. That placed is cursed...

I've been asked for money by the scarred eyed grey tracksuit man. He hangs around on East D Grove asking people for money. He says he's been stabbed and just out of hospital all the time, then forgets and tells the same story to the same people again and again. He's and alcoholic - the police had to scoop him up as he was unconscious outside William Rose on ED Grove the other day. Then a few days later I saw him up and about but drunk. He needs help, I feel sorry for him but he does need to think up some new stories!

Very unreliable, I have waited up to 30 minutes for a bus at weekends/evenings. Only time i've ever seen someone shoot heroin was on the 37. Quicker to walk to Herne Hill than to wait for a bus. Too few of them!!
