It is with regret to announce there was another burglary in Ashburnham Grove on the evening / early hours of the morning on 13th/14th December. Entry was again through the bottom sash window. Today, there has been various crimes around the Triangle, including damage and theft from a car in Catherine Grove and an attempted house break-in, again in Catherine Grove. During the last few days there has been a rapid increase in the theft from cars, particularly Ashburnham Place and the theft of a motor vehicle has also been reported. I cannot emphasise the importance that you action all security advice offered over the last few weeks. Don't leave anything on show in your vehicle - cars have been broken into for as little as 50p. For keyless cars, don't leave your car key fob near the front door or window. For added security put your keys in a metal tin or signal blocking pouch. Make sure all windows and doors have sufficient locks. Make your property visible from the pa...

Over the next week you will see a new security sign displayed throughout the Triangle. These signs have been made to try and deter the increase in crime. HOWEVER , these new signs will only work if we, as residents, all work together. Car Key Signal Blocking Pouch ENSURE YOUR PROPERTY IS FULLY PROTECTED TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD fit window locks - especially basement sash windows double lock your front door at night and when you leave the property  cut down all those high bushes/trees so your property is visible don’t leave keys near your front door or window especially car keys.  Keyless car crime is particularly high. Criminals scout the area for high spec vehicles. Keep your keys in a metal tin or a  Faraday pouch so the key signal cannot be tampered  with from outside on a remote terminal. BE VIGILANT don’t ignore your neighbours house or car alarm if it goes off if someone looks suspicious, report it.   If you see someone tampe...

Mick Delap needs the help of as many ATA members as possible to persuade Greenwich Planning authorities to do more to open up Deptford Creek to public access. Please support Mick by lodging an objection to the current planning application for a new block of flats on the Creek at Saxon Wharf - by this Friday, 7th December. Look up Planning Application 18/1594/F on the Greenwich Planning Search site, and follow instructions re making a comment. The developers promise they will create a Creekside pathway that's open to the public (and that what they build will enhance the historic and listed 19th century Greenwich Railway Bridge). Three other Creekside developments have already been completed. Not one of them has lived up to similar promises to open up their Creekside sites to the public, or enhance the Creek's historic heritage. Why should we believe this set of promises will be any different? For more information, see Mick's full note here . And if you can, let Mic...
