I too heard it was a little girl and that sadly she died. Really hoping this isn't the case, my thoughts go out to her family either way because she would've sustained awful injuries if she has survived.

I can understand that people are concerned and want to know what happened, but when there have been accidents before all sorts of misinformation, speculation and rumour has been quoted on here as fact.


Do remember that who ever was involved will have family and friends and unsubstatiated rumours spreading about might cause them even more distress.

Don't the yellow police boards appealing for info go up if it's a fatality? I may be wrong, I went along that road this evening at 5ish and there are no incident boards to be seen - I really hope it wasn't too serious. Let's wait for someone with the absolute facts to post?
I've lived in East Dulwich for 17 months now and in that time it seems to have had its more than fair share of serious road accidents and too many since I moved there, including the fatality of a 10 year old school child in January this year. Is there something that needs to be done to make the area safer - more zebra crossings, traffic lights? More prudent drivers.

    • PCSOs may not need specific qualifications, but they go through a reasonably rigorous recruitment process. Or at least they used to. It may have changed.
    • The ones I've dropped into may be organised by PCSOs in the SNT but regular PCs have attended. They have actually been a cuppa with a copper, but not necessarily loads of them. 
    • @Pereira Neves "Cuppa with a Coppa" is a misrepresentation as PCSOs are not real police.   They have no more powers of arrest that any public citizen. They may have the "authority" to advise the regular police of a crime - just like Joe Public. One exception is that they can issue fixed penalty notices to people who cycle on a footpath. We see people cycling on the footpath every day but have never seen a PCSO issue a fixed penalty notice to anybody. No  qualifications are needed to become a PCSO.  At best, all they do is reassure and advise the public with platitudes.      
    • Right.  Already too many people saying “labour pushed for longer and more stringent lockdowns” which if nothing else, does seem to give credence the notion that yes people can be brainwashed    Nothing ...  Nothing Labour pushed for was about longer lockdowns.  Explicitly, and very clearly they said “lock down early OR we will be locking down for longer “   ie they were trying to prevent the longer lockdowns we had   But “positive thinking” and “nothing to see here” from Johnson led to bigger problems    as for the hand-wavery about the economic inheritance and markets being spooked by labour budget - look - things did get really really and under last government and they tried to hide it.  So when someone tries to address it, no one is going to be happy.  But pretending all was tickety boo is a child’s response
