I was kept awake all night by this too. It was the shop Iris at number 3 having some work done overnight (installing new fitting rooms it looks like). Went in to speak to them this morning and they said it will be finished today so there shouldn't be any noise tonight. To be honest I am appalled by the fact that this work was undertaken overnight and the complete disregard for their neighbours.

Thanks for reply. It was almost like torture as every time it stopped I went back to sleep and then was wojen up again. I thought it was emergency gas/ water works.

Im a nit speechless now, which is probably better than writng whats actually in my very tired angry head.

Thanks again for the reply ...

You can ask the shop management/the workmen/council noise team whether they had a dispensation (Section 61 consent) to undertake construction outside normal hours and then take action if necessary (ie complaint etc.). See https://www.southwark.gov.uk/noise-and-antisocial-behaviour/construction-noise
Emsworth, I feel your pain and would go and knock again to the property to let the workers know this is not acceptable! I put up with weeks of banging and drilling all through the night and day last Christmas Eve, Boxing Day at my next door place. |I had a word with the workers but they had very limited English and had to phone a boss person to translate what I was saying!

I have been round and they just told me to speak to the owner in the morning. The council noise team have also been out and given them until 10pm to wrap things up as apparently it wouldn?t be safe for customers in its present state. They said If it continues past 10 they will serve them a notice. Beyond fed up of them now!!

I must have just gone round after you - they said the same to us, that they'd be stopped in like 20 minutes (so I guess 10pm). They don't even open until 10am so don't understand why it all needs to be done so late at night. Didn't look like they were finished last night either, so assume there'll be more to come.

make a complaint to southwark and threaten to escalate to the local authority ombudsman, they pulled me in for an interview under caution when my builders went over by 10mins to 18:10 - disgraceful


if the site was unsafe, they shouldn't have started work in the first place

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
