antisocial behaviour on whateley road


edcitizen

Recommended Posts

On Tuesday evening I saw something very unpleasant outside of a residence on Whateley Road. I saw a man shouting every expletive and yelling very racial things to a young couple. I think it was a man who lives next to this couple who was being very verbally abusive telling them to **** off and go back where they came from. (this is an extremely edited version of what he was saying) It was horrible to hear someone saying such things to another person.


As much as I would like to reveal the address where I saw this horrible behaviour, so everyone could knock on this person's door and tell him what an awful man he is and how Dulwich does not need people like him. Instead, I encourage anyone who saw or most likely heard this person shouting to speak to the police about it as I have.

Dear Edcitizen (what's that? Ed!)


It is obviously me that you are referring to. The forum is a great place to ease away the hours of boredom and in doing so peddle tittle tattle. However it does not give you the platform to publish untruths into the public domain. If you had wanted to know the unobserved facts you should have approached me personally.


I have suffered verbal abuse from the residents upstairs for nigh on three years. I am unable to listen to the radio in the morning before going to work without someone slamming their foot on my ceiling. The last time I played music in my front room was about six months ago. I daredn't light a barbecue for fear of complaint and subsequent verbal abuse.


The incident that you refer to was triggered by myself and my wife having an animated debate about assessment policy in Primary education (yes we are both teachers!!). This was met by the usual crushing of the floorboards and a knock at the door! On opening I was threatened, both verbally and physically..."Come on then I'll take you on"....and also to be told by the neighbour how much money I owed John Lewis and what my current bank balance was!! I am sure if your neighbour was opening your mail you would feel aggrieved!! Are you aware that it is illegal to open mail not addressed to your name.


Telling someone to 'F... Off back to Mersyside' is not rascist but regionalist. I bet you have never been guilty of that!!


Please be careful about what you say and how you choose to publish it. There are always two sides to every story...and and an awful lot in between. Think on!!

jeremyclutson: well done for putting your side of the story across. I read the OP's comments and built a picture in my head of a abusive racist screaming at his innocent neighbours for no reason but after reading your side of the story I can understand why you got so angry. Often with old conversions they didn't soundproof properly, now there are regulations whereby it is not permitted to have exposed floorboards or laminate flooring for a first floor flat.

Majority of East Dulwich flats are conversions and most were undertaken with zero noise insulation added between floors. I've lived in such a flat and terrible to discover zero privacy with/from neighbours.


It is possible to add sound proofing but it does take cooperation.

When I did this - I was the top flat - I lifted every third floorboard and placed sound insulation. Took about 60 hours, ?2,000 and a lot of disruption.


The alternative is huge resentment.

Anyone suffering from a noise disturbance and being ignored or fobbed off by Southwark Council (as have I!) do get in touch with these people.

Southwark Council misquoted The Housing Act to us for three years, we've now been told we can take them to court as well as the noise offenders.


This is a huge problem, as anyone suffering knows full well.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
