Just returned from a weekend away to discover this appalling din. Can I urge all those affected to email DHFC to complain? If Southwark won't act and further such events are planned, there are other legal avenues that a little crowd funding could get underway.
Hi we finally got through to the Council, again. The guy said they have visited the site again but as the crowds are too big they will not go in to get it stopped we asked who we could speak to help in this matter but he did not know, we asked if perhaps police could help them he was unsure of the procedure. He suggested we write to the Council. He did confirm he had lots of complaints. Arhhhh

Just spoke to the council noise team for the 6th time today. Despite earlier assurances that visits were to be made and noise tests undertaken, now we are told there is nothing they can do. They apparently cautioned them this afternoon but supposedly have not receive any calls since 4 o clock. We know this is not true. Last week the police said that the noise team were our only option, and now the noise team are saying if a conversation cannot happen in a person's living room, only then they can take action. This is a subjective test, not a machine.Otherwise they can only ask that they turn the volume down.


The club needs to take responsibility for allowing the events. They were apparently sent a warning letter by the council last week, clearly to no effect.

Looking at their social media their main events happen in indigO2 or other similar locations so this is a bit crazy. I live just the other side of st Olaves field, I dread to think what the noise is like in the cul de sac, even Sainsbury's car park. I'm fine with noise, I'm fine with parties, we have Dulwich hamlet noise every weekend, I expect noise in London but this is epic proportions. It's almost like living in Glastonbury! My house is still shaking. Cannot believe at all that this can be allowed in a residential area. The swearing and cussing is loud aswell as it's being blared over the PA. it's kids bedtime in 5 minutes and this doesn't sound it's going to stop st 8, if it does we will probably have a lot of shouting and screaming coming along greendale towards our house too. Fun times!

Right I just got through and was told the following.


The noise officers have been twice, and on the second visit have had to withdraw due to safety concerns which is very concerning living so close.


He said there was nothing further to be done tonight. He recommended to email [email protected] which I will do alongside the other avenues.

Not really affecting me - glad I live out of earshot - but just walked home through Greendale and could not believe the racket, can't understand why that sort of sound system is allowed at this time on a Sunday evening. Those living nearby have my sincere sympathy.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
