I wondered if anyone has come across a man shouting/ woman crying in the Barry Road area in the early hours of the morning on a regular basis?


I was woken around 3am Friday morning by a woman loudly sobbing and a man shouting VERY aggressively at her: ?why? I?m telling you what to do!?. The woman sounded absolutely distraught.


This is the third time in the last month I?ve been woken by this, and I?m positive it?s the same couple. However I?ve never managed to get a look at them in time.


Wondered if anyone else had encountered this and what (if anything) I could do about it?

Please report it to the Police. This sounds like domestic violence and possibly worse. If it isn?t, at least you did what you thought best. Many years ago, I heard what sounded like a couple arguing and then someone being hit. I reported it to the Police. They investigated. The woman was regularly beating her partner and didn?t know what to do as he was worried about their children. The Police visit helped him to make a decision to leave the abuse.
Yes I quite agree, I will ring them this morning and see what they say. The only trouble is that I don't have an address for this couple - they seem to walk from the Rye up Barry Road shouting at each other, so I'm not sure that there's much the police can do. But worth mentioning it to them anyway, I'm sure
It's terrible to encounter such things even in passing. Someone I new was being physically abused by her partner and I regretted not telling the police the instant it happened. I did tell our Manager who then notice her expensive gifts (Louis Vuitton hand bags) like it was some sort of recompense for the beating she received the previous night. Trust your instincts.

Report it to the police DV team and get a reference number.


If you hear it again, call it in immediately.


It doesn't need to be said how important it is. You could save a life, as it only ever gets worse. I hope there are no children involved.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
