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.

    • There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.
    • I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way. 
    • There is now reseach emerging into the impact of festivals on nesting birds and I will be collating that for the consultations this time round. That research is showing that walls of suddenly imposed sound can send birds away never to return to their nests. Some species are affected more than others. Starlings are particularly sensitive.
