There was a police presence, maybe half a dozen officers in the shopping area, very casual and I guess more to re-assure shoppers, of which there were fewer than average but not excessively so - you'd get less due to showers.<br /> <br /> Some people were apprehensive/whatever, but I'm not sure there was any particular atmosphere - except around the London Road area.<br /> <br /> About 150m worth of London Road is still cordoned off, and didn't look particularly cleaned up, wasn't good, but again didn't seem as bad as expected - though that bit is mainly small/local businesses compared to the main shopping area, so particularly bad in that respect.<br /> <br /> The shop at Reeves corner is being entirely demolished. Nearby buildings look significantly damaged, but (to my untrained eye) appear to be mostly cosmetic/repairable - fortunately for the businesses/residents there, the destroyed shop was isolated (on a traffic island), otherwise it could have been significantly worse.<br /> <br /> Over on Purley Way (industrial estate), most of the shops are boarded up. Sainsbury's was open and no obvious damage. Argos, TK Maxx, Best Buy, Jessops, Comet, PC World all boarded up. Curry's was also boarded up but still open for business. Couldn't be arsed to go up to Ikea to see what that was like. Significant numbers of police around, but nothing going on. <br /> <br /> Purley is fine. One takeaway closed "for a few days", one café boarded up, and a few damaged windows - but those could easily have been from standard drunken behaviour. Despite all the nonsense on Twitter I don't think anything actually happened in Purley (unlike Croydon, it's too middle-class; so might be a few bored yobs at worst).<br /> <br /> Still occasional sirens, maybe even an above average number, but not really an unusual amount.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=38778.267&return_msg=38778.264" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="38778.267"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a38778_268"></a><div class="message" id="message_38778_268"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Ken (SHIELDSIT)<span class="message_time">10 Aug 2011 18:31</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Peter (BOUGHTONP) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 10 Aug 2011 18:32"></span></span> <span class="message_count">268 of 298</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=38778.268">38778.268</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=38778.264#a38778_267" target="_self">38778.267</a></div> <div class="message_body"> That was a report from our man on the street Peter, now off to Frank for the forecast.<br /> <br /> Actually, good job Peter!</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=38778.268&return_msg=38778.264" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="38778.268"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a38778_269"></a><div class="message" id="message_38778_269"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Ken (SHIELDSIT)<span class="message_time">10 Aug 2011 19:55</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Peter (BOUGHTONP) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 10 Aug 2011 20:10"></span></span> <span class="message_count">269 of 298</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=38778.269">38778.269</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=38778.264#a38778_268" target="_self">38778.268</a></div> <div class="message_body"> You didn't know I was spying on you, did you Peter?
