I was wondering why police were there.
Thanks for reporting this.
Any update on the stupid bus lane in Woolwich Road!?
How terrible. I hope the victim goes on to make a full recovery.
Section 60 stop and searches need to be made permanent in the Borough of Greenwich so we can tackle crime full on,
Woolwich is still a no go area for many many people due to the high level of anti social behaviour which blights the area.
It will also do nothing to attract people to the the area as part of the on going regeneration of Woolwich.
