Apologies if that came across as harsh Concita - it wasn't meant to :-)


Once upon a time I was a very happy East Dulwich resident (despite being mugged on my own street back in April) but since this thread started up i've become a nervous wreck. Whereas I would once attribute creaks in the night to my neighbours comings and goings, I now always presume that it's someone trying to get in and do me harm and then I can't sleep for the rest of the night!

Concita, I was at a Police ward panel meeting last week and burglary in Peckham Rye and Nunhead is at the same low level it has been for some time. Our ward panel officers also talked about crime and burglary levels accross the borough and neighbouring wards which, with the exception of Peckham, are also at the same below average levels they've been at for some time.


Cutting and pasting from other forums, sites not anything to do with ED, is indicative of your crusade to prove your misaprehension that there's an extraordinary crime wave in the area. Two burglars were caught and arrested in Barry Road recently and low and behold...the recent spate of burglaries in ED have dropped off. That tells you something.


By all means it is good for people to know when a burglary team are in town, but if they are prolific they eventually get caught. As a result overall, and accross the year, burglary levels are lower than average in ED. That there are periodic spikes doesn't change that. Scaring people never achieves anything but leaving them afraid in their own homes. Time to give it a rest Concita perhaps.

    • I think Watsons General Telegraph do two margaritas  for £13 every Thursday. The Great Exhibition also does a margarita deal on a Thursday: https://www.greatexhibition.pub/new-events-1 I've not tried either deal yet.  
    • We first used Aaron's services for a badly damaged wall that had gone back to the brickwork due to water ingress from the bay window. We found Aaron initially through recommendation and were very fortunate to do so as we already had a couple of quotes from trades found online that were just ridiculous, clearly just a rip off, so not sure what we would of done without that recommendation. We have just had more work completed by him, two walls skimmed and more comprehensive work where the brickwork was exposed around the fireplace. The wall above the fireplace was the original plaster finish and in good condition but the original plan was to have the whole wall replastered but we couldnt get the tv off the wall bracket so asked Aaron if he could just plaster up to the tv, not ideal but not much choice. Aaron didnt have any issue with that atall and more than happy to do it. Amazingly the join between the new plaster and old plaster is invisible. Perfect feather edge finish.  Aaron is very pleasant natured, he turns up on time, he doesnt mess about and gets on with the job. He works in a very clean manner. He doesnt try and inflate the job to make it more expensive. We found him to be extremely competitively priced. Both jobs have been finished to an excellent standard. The finish is so smooth its like glass. We will certainly be using his services again in the future.     Aaron Manser 07773 410661
    • Yes, and now there's a leak further down Barry Road. Two men from Thames came and stood there looking at it and then went away. Over 24 hours later water still pouring out and no sign of any action to repair
