Hello all, I received a knock at the door yesterday. When I got to the street door, and opened it, I saw a letter poking out of the letter box. I asked this guy who he was, and he went on about bins. I asked him again where he was from, and he replied "southwark council" I asked the council officer why he was not wearing any ID, he pulls out his ID from his jumper, shows it, and tucks it back into his jumper. I told him, he should have his ID on show at at all times, and he replied "oh no, someone might grab it" Not really impressed, these were clearly not engagement workers, but a couple of office staff. I work for a neighboring council, we would routinely, always have our ID badge displayed, weather infront of a household or in the street. We always wear high vis jackets, with our emblem printed on the front and back. We want to scream from the roof tops who we are. Southwark council seem to be a bit different. The lanyard which holds our ID badge have quick release, so even if someone did pull the lanyard, the lanyard would come apart from the neck. Whenever we are positing information to residents, we always ensure letters are fully posted into the letterbox. The last thing you want to do, if for a letter to blow away, or let burglars know, no one is living at the address. Come on southwark council, do better with your engagement, or don't do it at all. Very disappointing. -

I highly recommend Tony Pooley and Ben Richard’s. They have just done a great job with my garden, decking and lighting. It’s the 2nd time they have done work for us and left us impressed once again. Very professional, hard-working, good communication and really nice guys. It’s great to know you can have workman you can rely on! They have also done work for my neighbours and a friend to high standards. You can contact Tony on +44 7931 549144 or [email protected] -
There are in fact two collecting bodies for crime statistics, the police (who record only what is reported to them) and a government survey of the general population, asking them of their recent experience of crime. Generally, and not surprisingly, higher figures come from this survey as crime can go unreported when there is little or no material gain to be had from reporting it, (e.g. damage or loss below a threshold for insurance pay out) and no anticipation that the police will act if it is reported. Virtually all shoplifting falls into this category.
