Are we now under a flight path?
Sue Klein replied to Houseoflego's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or 6 am, and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park. -
Some may be wood pigeons. They are larger and grey and COO which common pigeons do not. Other pigeons may have mated with gulls and get different and more colourful bodies. There are always loads of pigeons in Peckham Rye Park by the lake, and masses in the park by Dog Kennel Hill sainsburies

I think it's a combination of police helicopters and instrusive noise from flights from City Airport. They fly too low over residential areas. I suggested to my MP that they be asked to fly over the river instead of people's homes. It is bad but the noise can be reduced by getting double or tyriple glazing for your bedroom. I now have double glazing and it has reduced the noise but not masked it completel;y as i can now hear a plane right now. -
On saturday afternoon 4th january at about 4.30 pm I got on the P13 bus from Goose Green to Sainsburies East Dulwich . I was followed by a an elderly white woman with a crutch., and distracted by the really inconsiderate driver who started driving BEFORE this lady had found a seat. When i got off I found I had left my small green rucksack on the bus and I turned round to see it leaving the bus stop. I have been to the Abellio lost property office for this bus ,at 301 Camberwell New Road, but it has not been handed in. If anyone has taken it, please text me on 07835 598930 as it has vital medicines in the front pocket . The purse inside had little more than £10 and I have cancelled all the cards. It's the medicines that matter to me.

THE Freedom pass is available to those of pensionable age ( state pension) and has a photo and my name They have had a parcel sent from Sweden via UPS for me for two weeks, and have not accepted my freedom pass as ID despite it being funded by government for the councils to administer and having my photo and my name on it. I am boycotting them and was so furious with them when i first went to collect my parcel , that I told them they would have to send it back. The tracking still shows that it is at Londis in ED rd . Now UPS have started an investigation, and the nice jacket that I bought in a sale is no longer available from the supplier - so i hope that UPS does to find it at LONDIS!! The annoying thing is that UPS said they would arrange for it to be delivered to 40 Lordship Lane, but they did not action this, probably because of brain fog induced by over exposure to mobile phones, and so it is still at Londis, and I would not be surprised if the wife of the owner isn't wearing it some time. I rang UPS to find out if they could action its collection and removal to 40 Lordship Lane , but since their investigation has now started, they can't do anything except investigate. It is due to be collected by tomorrow but I can't do anything . I spoke to another neighbour who has also been pissed off by the attitude of the older family members at Londis in ED rd So 1. Don't ask for anything to be delivered to East Dulwich Rd Londis. If that is your closest drop off point, do consider 40 Lordship Lane instead as they were not bothered by my freedom pass, but didn't have my item on their list of packages to be collected . That was the first time I realised that UPS had failed to action what they had promised and was a week ago when I went to 40 Lordship lane, and they didn't have it. 2, Pay for it to be delivered to your home to save you from all the hassle I have had, including going to 40 Lordship Lane once, and to Londis 3 times, so I am never going to buy anything from Londis again . BTW they have also boycotted ME!!, but their smug owner's smile as he refused to give me my package the day it arrived two weeks ago, was more than I could tolerate. I was hopping mad!!

i think it's City Airport. Because they are located inside the city, not very far from ED as the crow flies, the planes take off at a more vertical angle and very noisily and given how far it is from ED , they have not reached their full lift before passing over ED, which means we get the noise and it seems to start at about 4 am sometimes. We will hear them slowing down as they approach city airport, but the biggest noise is when they are taking off
