Hi


Anyone else on Henslowe or Friern road (bottom) suffering from insomnia due to hard core rap being played until 1 am most nights?

Torture. Especially as Henslowe is one long unbroken terrace so amplified music sounds like we're in a stadium! Who and how do you complain about noise level that keeps you awake even with windows closed?

Hi rahrahrah,

I've had residents noise casework where a noise diary helped progress the case to resolution. But they're not an instant fix obviously. But officers having to witness the noise form bedrooms isn't ideal but apparently is legally required.

As Monkey says, the officers will usually come over pretty much straight away - they'll ask lots of questions, so keep a note of when it starts but call them during the noise so they can come and hear it for themselves. They were great when we had similar trouble.

Did your aunt take any action, eg calling the Southwark Noise Team as other people have?

Some years ago I left my teenagers at home and went on holiday. They were both over 18. They decided to have a party and it went on late on a Saturday night. A neighbour called the police and they came to the house and threatened to confiscate the sound equipment if they were called out again. Does no-one have this power- it seems the obvious solution?
It annoys me that there isn't more solidarity / community action on things like this. One or two people can keep a whole neighbourhood awake, why? If all those effected got together, went round and told the offenders to keep it down, they would. I'm not talking pitch forks and burning torches, but a calm and reasonable neighbourhood delegation standing shoulder to shoulder with one another.

Sometimes people are scared to report anti-social behaviour because if the miscreants know your address they may take retribution. I once reported something, and even though at least 4 houses would have been affected by the nuisance, it was my car that got vandalised several times.

So, James, do the noise or environment team tell the nuisances who reported them?

I had to be smuggled out of my flat by the Met police once after I'd called the noise people and they'd had to leave on 'health and safety' grounds, due to the threats I was getting.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
