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.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
