My husband and I were walking to Dulwich Park Sunday morning (about 8.30am) and we crossed over from Goose Green so we could continue up Lordship Lane There was a young black guy standing near the bus stop (opposite Goose Green) standing next to his bicycle. When you got close to him you could see that he had a triangular piece of material positioned across his face so you could only see his eyes. I passed him first but as my husband did, he went right up to my husband's face in a threatening "stand off" manner My husband just got out of his way and when we both looked around he got on this bike and began to follow us. We did not want to encourage him by looking around and eventually he cycled off. I know nothing happened to us but it was quite upsetting. I just thought I would mention it because had I been on my own, I would have felt quite scared.

Hey I would still be inclined to report what happened to you to the police as you never know if the same person has done this to others and there maybe someone that he has actually done something to physically... if this is a repeat action, they are likely to be on watch for this same individual... believe it or not, a colleague and I were mugged just outside the Festival Hall, Waterloo... what had transpired, was the same person had done the same to others....

Police got a good description of him as I stupidly went after him... Years later, I actually saw him selling the Big Issue outside a mainline train station - I can only presume bad turned good !!! Hope you never have to undergo something like this again as it is frightening for sure...

    • Does anyone know if the above is taking place this year. Can't seem to find it mentioned anywhere?   Simon
    • Hello, with the weather improving, I thought I would flag up the free access to leisure centres in southwark. 1. If you are experiencing poor mental and physical health and live in the borough, the GP exercise referral service allows up to three months of free use of leisure centers. There are three levels of support, and you can even refer yourself. read more for more info: Kickstart, Active Boost and Cardiactive - Everyone Health Southwark   2. If you don't have challenges with physical ands mental health, you can access the free swim and gym for a year. for more info: Free swim & gym eligibility requirements – Leisure Facilities in Southwark 3. Are you a blue badge holder? you can apply for the AD Permit, a virtual payment which allows disabled drivers to part on single and double yellow lines without the need of displaying a blue bae in the windscreen. there is also information for disabled residents to use the Low Traffic Neighborhood (LTNs) around the borough.  Exemptions for Blue Badge holders | Southwark Council Want more information? use the councils website: www.southwark.gov.uk               
    • I am about to tomorrow. I only just realised after asking some neighbours today. Agreed that smaller households should of course pay less, like discounted council tax bills for those on benefits for example. However as our bills have gone up astronomically generally in the last few years, I do feel hardworking families are being penalised... also avid gardeners will be penalised in the summer when gardens are watered no doubt. 
    • Hello Womanofdulwich, I had a meter installed in the summer of last year. Currently my bills have fallen massively. Can you remember which month your water meter was installed? Also I received two appointments, one from a group of staff in orange who decide if the property is suitable for the water meter, and then a second appointment for the meter to be installed, did you have the same thing? Are you saying as well that you was cold called regarding the water meter, or are you saying someone from Thames water turned up, at your door unannoyed?   Lastly (so sorry to through so much questions at you) how many bedrooms do you have and how many people live at the property?
