I live opposite the lordship lane surgery at the top of the lane by the library and every night for the last week its alarm has gone off for about an hour from about 6.30-7.30. I rang them today in the vain hope they would do something about it but, guess what, it's ringing again.


The police have been but can't do anything about it. Have emailed southwark council but no reply - that was on saturday. Have tried Southwark noise again and they say they might be around in an hour or so. Apparently they have to witness the noise from inside your home!


I am on the point of putting a brick through their window - would have no effect other than to make me feel better.


any ideas?

looks like Southwark council are coming up trumps. Two charming noise abatement blokes have come round and will break in and stop it in an hour! (they have to wait for an hour to allow the keyholders to come apparently)


I wonder if I can help break in...

If that ever happens to anyone again anywhere, you must call Southwark Environmental Health again at the time. Don't leave it for a week. They will write to the place concerned and threaten them with a fine. The breaking in has to be done while the alarm is going off. I have had this problem with house alarms in my street.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
