The police came to the A&E consultation this evening at sydenham school. I was on the gate and they asked where to park.
I suggested in the police station car park, just opposite the school, and where we were advising members of the public to park. But they said they couldn't park a marked police vehicle there as it would be vandalised by residents of Miriam Lodge!

It is something when the police feel intimidated by hostel residents so much that they can't park in the police station car park.

This is not hearsay from NIMBY neighbours, this is the local experts on crime scared to park by the police station. Why would anybody want this hostel to increase in size by 50%?
