Hello admin,


Is it possible for crime to have it's own section?


I know it isn't the first time you've been asked to consider this, and I know you have your reasons for doing things the way they are done, but the main section has been depressing reading for a long time.


Please consider.


Thank you.

The Incident Room, I like it.


I suppose we can try it out, perhaps you could help me get head in the right frame of mind...


Incident Room or not?

- door to door window sales man /woman selling book door to door

- Local police (lack of)

- Accident on Lordship Lane this morning

- unexpected evening callers

- Traffic problems on Goose Green

- Bins,rubbish & Smells on Forest Hill Road



I have to say, having looked around the first two pages there is a lot of petty/non-petty crime going on.

There was a time when the main section was full of lost cats. Remember?


Nobody would mind an incident being on the main page if it was an emergency, but then it could be relegated. I mean, who needs to be looking at "bad traffic on LL this morning" for a week. Lifetime ban isn't good enough; find out where they live and give them a house call.

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
