I'm thinking about wider society and also get more engagement from your MP.  But as regards to the Met you could contact the Commissioner but as others have said maybe best to start with the Safer Neighbourhood Team 

I've heard good things from those constuents with difficult issues when contacting Ellie.  My experience on more mundane transport issues it was all handled by her office, who did no better than me!  But she effectively a front bencher so has much on.

Annual outbreak? Why is that? 

And how did they manage to suddenly find more people when the Met had  had their overall numbers so  drastically cut?

Annual outbreak - clocks going back + some teenage boy psychology that's beyond me.

Police work hasn't stopped entirely. SNT organised more patrols and visible presence until the group responsible was arrested.

When reported crime in an area starts to increase or peak, police resources are extracted from SNT teams in areas where crime is perceived to be lower and temporarily used to resolve the issue. 

Unfortunately with numbers so low at the moment it's not a great situation as it leaves other areas short and potentially vulnerable to other crimes. 

Public confidence in the police is low after incidents over the past few years, wages aren't great and recruitment isn't keeping up with attrition, therefore something has to change to get numbers back up and people feeling safe again. Equally the prison situation with early telease, shorter sentences or even some judges being lenient on low level crimes doesn't help either. 

A complex situation that has been caused by multiple factors all of which need attention and huge funding is only going to get worse before it gets better.

I expect that the majority of us agree that if we want more policing then we have to pay for this.  

I guess I'm in the minority b/c i do not agree. This is why I used the topical example of the gaza protests but you can use any example: football matches, G7 summits.  There are TONS of cops, lots of cops, 10s of thousands of them in fact, there are just not enough on the beat in SE22 after school.

It's all about allocation: this is why the bare stats are important and it's on us to all be proactive and report everything.

But also, as someone said about meet and greets with local police, the influence and story telling re: our local situation is what makes the leap from just stats to actual, physical  allocation.

There has been lots of good proactive steps in this thread. I'll add the local southwark councillors you can find here (public site): Your Councillors - Southwark Council

My area is DV and I've found both to be receptive on various issues like traffic and trees so worth a follow up regarding this incident and the wider issue around kid on kid muggings.

My daughter just hit the age to walk to/from school herself so I have lots of skin in the game and care deeply about every day safety for everyone.

    • Gosh, a mere 61 years since "It's my party".  I didn't know at the time that it was QJ's first production.  I remember it like last week and probably have him to thank, for beating Spector to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_My_Party  
    • Quincy Jones Born March 14, 1933, Chicago, Illinois, U.S. Died November 3, 2024 (aged 91), Los Angeles, California, U.S. Simply a musical legend of his time who's contribution to RnB, Soul and jazz music should never be under estimated.  Record producer, songwriter, composer, arranger, and film and television producer. He worked with many of the soul and jazz legends himself, and he has a back catalogue of material I urge you to listen to and enjoy. He will be sadly missed.         
    • Used Leon for the first time today as our usual electrician was out of London. neighbour gave us his details as we lost all power in the lower part of our house. Fortunately we had a separate circuit for the first floor so could boil up a kettle. Leon when rang advised he could come this afternoon, turned up and checked every thing and got power back on and to call him back if we had any more problems. Reasonable rate considering it was an emergency call out. Nice chap, very helpful, would recommend.
    • Hubby went in to enquire re washing a double duvet - cost quoted £20.  He paid £25 a few weeks ago of another duvet in a laundrette opposite Peckham Bus Garage.
