There was an accident, I think on East Dulwich Road, near the junction with Peckham Rye. I came past on my bike at about 8.45 and there were loads of police milling about on the corner, and what looked like some personal belongings in the middle of the road.


There were also about 15 buses backed up on Barry Road, going nowhere.

Yes, a young girl was hit by a truck this morning on the junction. I walked past just before 8.10am and it looked like it had just happened. There was one ambulance guy on the scene already, and the first of the ambulance vans was just arriving then.


I would have offered my assistance, but they ambulance guys and bystanders looked like the had it under control as best they could.


She looked in bad shape and I am really dismayed to hear that she has passed away.


Very, very tragic indeed. My thoughts go out to the families involved.

I understand, hence asking a possible 'eye' witness.

rather than allow continued speculation....

      Police Misreporting Crime with support of Southwark Council

      By JMK · Posted

      a simple Google search renders multiple articles from mainstream media incl. BBC, Sky News, Financial Times on this topic since at least 2008 and also a discussion in a House of Commons Parliamentary Select Committee    The original post is very clear and precise in requesting advice and people’s experience of the act of the misreporting of crime and also collusion in this act by the agencies and democratically elected representatives who are supposed to represent the interests of their communities.  It is not about the criminal act itself.   Met Police misreports intimate searches of children https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-65700511 Sky News: One in Five of All Crimes not Recorded by the Police https://news.sky.com/story/one-in-five-of-all-crimes-not-recorded-by-police-10382167 Financial Times: Serious crime misreported by police https://www.ft.com/content/9ee810ce-a0f1-11dd-82fd-000077b07658   https://hmicfrs.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/news/news-feed/victims-let-down-by-poor-crime-recording/ House of Commons, Commons Select Committee, Public Administration  Caught red-handed: Why we can't count on Police Recorded Crime statistics - Public Administration Committee https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201314/cmselect/cmpubadm/760/76007.htm

      Carnegie Library Hub may close by December 2024.

      Thanks for this, looking further I think you're right, hub and library are separate entities though if anyone else thinks different do correct. Not really sure what Hub does though it seems they're upset they'll no longer be able to open a cafe.

      Sorry if I’m misreading this but isn’t the hub a separate entity that runs inside the library? They’re responsible for the hiring of rooms for parties etc and run local activities. So is it the hub that’s closing in December while the library itself will continue to run?  Or is the building itself going to close?
