He was with me for around 20 minutes. Unfortunately, because of recent 'internal reorganising', he was unaware of previous problems as there is now no record on their database. I brought him up to speed.

In the event of anyone needing assistance from the Police, they should call 101 [for non urgent matters] and 999 [for urgent cases] or email:

SouthwarkGrange.snt@met.police.uk

He also told me that he had seen a couple of lads sitting on the wall, adjacent to Vesta Court, as he arrived - they ran off.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157597#msg-157597 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 12:33:30 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157570#msg-157570 forum@london-se1.co.uk (chalkey)
Recent examples:

A group of under-age, drunken youths walking past my house. One threw a half full can of beer over my front hedge. I challenged him and he picked it up, gave me a torrent of abuse and hurled the can across the road, almost hitting a parked car. The police refused to attend.

A taxi driver who drove off with my daughter's money saying he didn't have any change and would return shortly. He never returned. I phoned the police and they at first refused to attend. It was, they said,
"A civil matter."
Only when I kicked up a right old fuss and asked when theft ceased to become a crime, did they send a young policewoman round....Two days later.

A woman and her four badly behaved children in McDonalds. When my daughter's friend politely complained about the youngest child kicking her chair, she had a milkshake thrown in her face by the eldest child; a thirteen year-old girl. The police refused to attend.

The more the cuts to our police force bite, the less they will respond to anything other than serious crime, and so the more we have to look out for ourselves.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157570#msg-157570 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 06:14:55 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157557#msg-157557 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Philpotts24)
The managing agent also contacted the police.

Colinio - nobody suggessted that Orione's 'suggestion' was daft or malicious. Unfortunately he has a habit of making clear, somewhat patronising statements and then becomes angrily defensive to the point of making me want to rip my head off!

Have a pleasant evening and, hey: let's be careful out there! :p]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157557#msg-157557 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 19:52:32 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157552#msg-157552 forum@london-se1.co.uk (dee dee) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157552#msg-157552 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:36:58 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157551#msg-157551 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Colinio)

We "recruited" two more guys from our block and just walked past, without paying attention, just chatting and making our presence felt. We got to the end of the street and turned back. From a distance, we saw the youths make their way. We kept an eye on the lady's house, but never saw the youths again.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157531#msg-157531 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:07:08 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157529#msg-157529 forum@london-se1.co.uk (maurits)
I agree with that: I think this forum is the place to use first and foremost to use in these situations. I lived in Cape Town for some time and the neighborhood watch in our area actually operated by way of a community forum.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157529#msg-157529 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 22:26:07 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157528#msg-157528 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Philpotts24) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157528#msg-157528 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 22:25:41 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157525#msg-157525 forum@london-se1.co.uk (orione) As long as these idiots are taken out of the streets.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157525#msg-157525 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:24:18 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/157484/157509#msg-157509 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Philpotts24)
As a result, I informed our Google Group and Managing Agent, and the latter informed the security company who patrol the area. I have also informed the local neighbourhood police team.
