Dawson Hill (noise control)


Recommended Posts

Dawson Hill has become a hangout area for large groups, making lots of noise and playing music, really becoming a disturbance ,,they are on the hill all day and through the night, the hill and area has become a dumping ground for loads of rubbish,, does anyone know if area is patrolled and what can be done regarding noise control.?

Since Dawson Hill is Social Housing I would contact Southwark council.

most social housing estates have a designated estate warden/caretaker or they did on my mums one

Or I would imagine theres a residents association

Large group, making noise at the moment, no doubt they will be there several hours yet, they can be heard through closed windows, have contacted the M.P, reported it to Southwark noise control they say the team are not going out in lockdown, reported to Police,. Let's see, basically large groups are partying on the hill everynight, playing loud music, I saw a worker fill 2 bags of rubbish left on the hill from people's overnight parties, any ideas who else to call to report this, would think, as the hill as nature reserve status it should have some kind of no drinking policy/ playing loud music??

The noise can't be avoided unfortunately as hours into early hours, making sleep and rest for nearby residents impossible, the rubbish left over on the hill is crazy,local residents of the area are going to the hill early doors to tidy and fill X2 refuge bags to help out Southwark council but I don't think it's helping the problem of this behaviour.

It certainly is...Police have been called and attended but they just give advice to the groups to keep noise down, we have tried to contact anyone involved in Dawson Hill Trust but no working contacts.. just pray the situation resolves..

Would the fact that the Police have attended and, in your own words, 'just give advice to the groups to keep the noise down', make you think that in fact people gathering in a public space to have a few drinks and enjoy themselves is perfectly legal and it may just be your intolerance and possibly a misguided opinion that you are entitled to perfect peace and quiet in a major urban area that is the problem here? There are many, many parts of the country where you will achieve this without needing to twitch your curtains, email the council or call the already overstretched Police force who are understandably wary of attending such scenes without contracting Coronavirus and taking it back to their families.


I am actually going to go to this spot and check to observe whether this 'crazy' rubbish that is apparently everywhere is fact or fiction. I suspect it is the latter and is a mere stick to beat the miscreants who dare to cause the slightest bit of commotion which you think is out of place, even though they are perfectly entitled to do so.


Still, i suppose you have the other 10 months of year when the weather is rubbish where you wont be disturbed. Then again, i get the feeling that even too many dog walkers in the deep mid winter may also not be to your pleasing.

Snakefilth, there are far too many independent posts here and across other channels to believe that the mess up there is a figment of Mary123's imagination. I also think that it's ridiculous to suggest that just because you live in London, you have the right to be anti-social and inconsiderate to others. May be these are the people who should move to the middle of the countryside so that the rest of us don't need to put up with them....

Yes logging calls with Police and Noise Team, they are riding around on Motorcycles, very intimidating, not sure where they come from not the estate, but suspect surrounding roads in Dulwich/Peckham..


We have photos/ videos of them, not sure I can upload on here as always failed with file too large..

    • Just had a carpets cleaned by Steve Nourse and his colleague at short notice. They are lovely guys and the cleaning was quick and carpets look great. Good value. 
    • Looking for tickets for 2 adults one child under 2 and one child over 2. However, please let me know if you have any combination of tickets you are no longer able to use.  Thanks 07756110500
    • all I said was "take a pro cash stance too far" - what twisting have I done?   plenty of good arguments for retention of cash - but let's not get too detached from reality either lest we go back to trading livestock   But to go back to your post DD:   "Or don't stop using cash" Yep plenty of people will agree with this - nothing controversial here   "Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote" - getting a bit weird now - why not - it's super convenient for both users and businesses. And far easier to keep a track of your balance using your electronic wallet than old systems of cheques taking days to clear, how much did I take from cashpoint 2 days ago etc. But people will differ so whatever works   "God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid" - big straw man argument here. Why bring this in? Unless you are also suggesting we don't buy any goods not made from within a 5 mile radius and nothing transported by air or sea? "a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed." I've had my phone stolen but nothing was lost because it was secure.I've been mugged and lost cash and valuable. It's not a binary thing   "your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many."  Proper overreaching now
    • I agree with the posts that housing is an urgent need in Peckham and throughout Southwark. But as Alice says, it’s the percentage of social / affordable housing that matters. In October last year, there were over 4,200 households on the Council’s waiting list for housing in Peckham alone (over 17 thousand across Southwark). But the developer is only offering 35% affordable housing (which means that 65% will be unaffordable). Both Southwark Council and the GLA say that a big development like this should provide 50% affordable housing.   Re-development of the site is a great opportunity to make the town centre “cleaner, safer and more sustainable and welcoming” (borrowing Nigello’s great words). Is this dense development going to do that, when it provides no real green and open space where people can spend time outside and nature can help us tackle the growing problems of climate change like absorbing flood water, cooling the air on baking summer days? Are 7-storey buildings along Rye Lane (where the average buildings are 2-3 storeys) going to be welcoming to users of the town centre? How will the development impact on Peckham’s economy? Currently there is busy daytime commercial activity of shops providing for different demographics and needs including a rich offering of international groceries and other products, alongside a thriving night-time economy. I can’t see anything in the proposal that suggests how it will enhance and empower the local economy. Yes please, let’s have a great development on this site that enhances the town centre. This means not letting the developer get away with packing people into dense blocks that turn their back on the town centre and which will be a recipe for urban decay in the long run. Peckham deserves better than this!
