Offensive all night party

[Countrlass22]

Melbourne grove offensively all night party.

Neighbours in Melbourne kindly call southwark noise team.

Where in Melbourne Grove was this, Countrlass22? The acoustics around here tend to amplify sound in such a weird way that I normally hear everything at my end (towards Lordship), but I didn't hear it last night.

It looked like there was party near me last night, but the back garden of the relevant house would have echoed across the nearby housing estate into the direction of the G&Ts (which is where I think you live?). Otherwise there could have been another one further down Melbourne towards East Dulwich Grove?

Residents in this area need to be extra considerate after 11pm, because they don't realise how the sound tends to bounce around at night.

reported southwark noise team they closed it down.

Was defintley Melbourne grove /east dulwich grove area we live right near.

Southwark noisecteam big thanks

Glad to hear that the noise team responded so efficiently, that's half the battle!

[kibris]

just because you didn't get an invite, its the weekend get a life

[singalto]

Kibris that is a ridiculous thing to say. An all night party is not acceptable.

[KidKruger]

Everyone has the right to a party.

[flocker spotter]

you've gotta for your right for the right to party

I'd agree - if it was a regular thing, then that's different.

Personally, I would prefer our neighbours didn't do karaoke when they're drunk but they are definately having fun and I would much rather that than hearing people argue.

Having said that, the most irritated I've been is when they played the recent royal wedding at 500 decibels so they could hear it in the garden. Completely spoiled my morning/ afternoon plans and I ended up going out, rather than having to put up with it.

I hope you know who you are and don't do it again.

Certainly isn't, but where precisely is it on this thread? One mildly sarcastic (if somewhat silly) comment?

Give her a break, the poor thing's had no sleep!

The fact the noise team took action makes me feel she wasn't being unreasonable.

may I point out the OP posted at 12.10am.....not 5am.

At midnight I would hardly label it an 'all night party'

I think until 1am at the weekend one should be a bit more forgiving-and I actually work most weekends but despite that would never dream of complaining about noise from a neighbours party unless it carried on until well into the early hours.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Lucky you, but clearly she felt it was a problem. Maybe she's got small children, or it had been going on for hours, who knows?

I'm sure she may not have been and I get as annoyed at selfishly loud/late parties as the next middle-aged man who likes to go to bed around eleven - I also think Kibris' comment was rather stupid and of a part with his/her general sneery contributions to this forum. However, to claim "abuse" and ask admin to close the thread down because someone makes a silly comment is ridiculous, sleep deprived or not.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Maybe that in itself is the result of having a bad night. When I've had no sleep I'm afraid I have no patience at all and I'm quicker to take things to heart.

[Earl Aelfheah]

It's totally unreasonable to have an all night party in a quiet residential street without speaking to your neighbours in advance. The fact that the noise team shut it down also speaks volumes (excuse the pun).

I think the OP was lucky that it was midnight and not later on in the night as (ironically) the noise team close up shop much after that.

[NewWave]

sorry...I love the way you guys keep saying 'all night party' midnight is not 'all night'.

there is an asumption that this party was going to be a late one but it was not at the time of posting an 'all night party'

[Penguin68]

Surely, it's

PARTY - ends at midnight

LATE NIGHT PARTY - ends at 2:00am

ALL NIGHT PARTY - ends at 5:00am ?

Simples

Hi - I just wanted to make a few clarifications to this message thread.

Firstly, Mea culpa - it was my 40th birthday party on Sat night on Melbourne Grove - but almost everything the OP writes above is incorrect. Secondly, it clearly did disturb the OP for which I apologise.

1. This was not an all night party. It started at 8Pm with the main party over by 1:30 and the last guests left about 2:15 when we switched off the music - clearly late enough to disturb people, again for any disturbance I am sorry - but not an all nighter.

2. Neither Southwark noise nor any other officials or authorities came round and we had no direct complaints.

3. We contacted all the neighbours we thought would be disturbed beforehand and took round bottles of wine. But in fact, it is a very close community on MG and most of our neighbours were at our party anyway!

4. This was a one off for a special occasion - we have lived in the house for over 8 years and not had a party before.

Again, I apologise to anyone that was disturbed but this was a special one off, and we thought we had taken steps to

Minimise noise and be as considerate as possible - a bit of local tolerance would be nice on some occasions instead of always thinking the worst - this wasn?t a bunch of irresponsible teenagers falling out onto the street at all hours - our guests left in a considerate manner.

[handymaneast dulwich]

I'm upset that i wasn't invited :(

[Jules-and-Boo]

Me too. I'll look forward to your 50th!

Hope you had a great birthday :-)

(are you sure OP is talking about you?)
