On the subject of police inaction, I was attacked by an oversized bulldog last week in Lewisham. I have a bruise and broken skin on my inner thigh and and also somewhere unmentionable. I rang 999 at the time,I was told an alert would go out but no advice about whether this would result in any reaction. I later rang 101 which resulted in being put through to a council answerphone. I then reported it online.I was rung back the following day and it was obvious that the telephonist is under instructions to keep down the need for a police response and the level of reported crime. I was told 'dogs can be unpredictable'. No crime number. I was told a report would be sent to the local police. My concern all along was this dog will do it again and maybe next time close its jaw.

There are possibly several civil causes of action you could rely upon to claim damages (vets bills etc.) but they would only be worth considering if the defendant has any assets which you could enforce against.

    • This is the relevant passage, I believe "Southwark Council (Peckham Rye, Burgess Park, Southwark Park) will earn a projected £440,000 from events in its parks in 2025, up from £340,000 in 2024. Events include GALA Festival in Peckham Rye, August’s Boiler Room, Jazz Café and Maiden Voyage in Burgess Park, and RALLY festival in Southwark Park." What would of course be interesting to know is what they spend this on. Is there any transferred benefit to those local people who live around and use these facilities? But I wouldn't hold your breath for an answer.
