This evening I challenged a young black guy at my door who was getting sponsorship for the 'local kids football team', he had called before and claimed to be collecting. He got aggressive, threatened to break my jaw and said he would come back to 'put my windows' in, I followed hi down the street and he ran off. I have given description to the ED Police station so if you have had a similar experience please let them know.


I live in Silvester Road and he was about 5'9", black, wearing a black beanie hat and an England Rugby tracksuit top with the O2 sponsorship logo on it. He had two sheets of paper with writing on them but these are just props.


Do not give this man money.

He's called at mine too at the start of summer, in broad daylight claiming he lived right opposite. Pellatt Road. I felt totally intimidated into giving him a couple of quid even though everything about him was telling me it was a con. Hopefully he gets caught soon, not good to hear he's threatening violence.

      Thames Water - water meters

      I would check that you have in fact been switched over to paying on usage rather than the old fixed rate system with an annual increase. We had a meter installed 18 months ago but had to request paying on metered consumption.

      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.
