Local schools are warning parents to be aware that yesterday afternoon there was an attempted robbery of school children in Dulwich Park where the assailants showed knives and an imitation gun. Luckily the robbers were interrupted by a member of the public and the children left unharmed but apparently there will be an increased police presence around the park for the next few days and anyone who sees anything should dial 999 immediately.


School children are being warned to avoid the park for a few days and told not to have phones or ear buds on view whilst in the park.


It is clear that the park is being targeted so everyone please keep your wits about you and let's hope these idiots get arrested soon.

Erm, we are talking about criminals targeting school children here, in Dulwich Park? It's got nothing to do with the cost of living crisis.


I visited my local supermarket around 5.30pm this evening and whilst choosing some bits, noticed three youngsters coming in, hooded up and devil masked. All wearing the latest designer clothing. Could tell they were looking for trouble due their language etc. but they couldn't have been older than 14 years old and then proceeded to trash and try to steal stuff from the shop.


Luckily the shop manager stood up to them (to great threat to himself) and they ran away.


Where are the parents of these youths?

    • So if we were to give the council the benefit of the doubt there is a chance this might be net beneficial to Peckham rye? There’s a slim chance someone somewhere has crunched the numbers and not done this purely to annoy us? 
    • In the past such details have always been described as commercially sensitive, which they possibly are. So we've never really known what the deals actually were. And whether they represented value for money for the council, and hence us. 
    • Apologies if this has been asked before. But has the council posted any black and white facts about what income gala brings in and therefore what it funds in the long term?    appreciate it causes a commotion for a few weeks but if it brings in enough revenue to fund the park being a nice place for the rest of the year it feels worth it.   
    • This is a fair point Glemham, although I don't think it is as straightforward as it looks. In essence, the Scheme of Estate Managment 'tithe' goes into maintaining the area, and the costs associated with that, such as planning consents and the like, and as you rightly point out, is ostensibly ring fenced.  However, it seems likely to me that the results of the 'tithe' would impact on the level of commercial rents the Dulwich Estate are able to command, and how much they get when they sell off a piece of land - it is after all a prime area. The 'tithe' is in my view ultimately, even if indirectly, a contributor to the Estate's ability to generate a surplus.  Of that surplus, 85% is directed at the private schools, which seems at odds to me with the spirit of simple instruction of the original Edward Alleyn will to 'educate 12 poor scholars' He didn't suggest they should go to Eton on bursaries. I think the Estate need to be doing far more for local state schools, who are all struggling with estraordinarily tight budgets. I also feel on a personal level uneasy in potentially contributing in any way to an institution such as Dulwich College where the question can be asked - are they struggling to manage successive generational waves of toxicity? The evidence that the Guardian has amassed from the Farage period looks pretty damming to me, and I find the more recent allegations deeply unsettling, although clearly they have been subject to less scrutiny.
