Hi all.


One of the houses on Crystal Palace Rd with a garden facing onto my back window on Ulverscroft Rd has an incredibly bright and invasive motion activated light on its rear wall. The light points directly out at our property, and flashes on frequently during the night, lighting up all the bedrooms in my house. Is anyone else aware of the issue? I'm having trouble distinguishing which house the light belongs to, but it is really becoming an issue as it is now constantly on.

Thank you!

Why not write a polite letter and copy to all the houses you think might be the problem. Say that the light is being regularly triggered and points into your windows. I'd guess the sensor might be picking up fox or other animal movement (which the user probably doesn't really want) and it may not be lighting up their property properly (it should be directed into their garden, not against houses). If you are polite and helpful (even suggest they might want to come and see the effect from your windows) then maybe they'll cooperate. Better to start friendly. A friend recently had a break-in and was severely traumatised by it. That may have happened to them too.

As the offending light is on a house directly behind you then of course you will know which house it is -

they are small gardens along there, one on one.


What is it you want anyone else to do?


Is this a searchlight you are describing? They are possibly away after fitting a light as a burglar deterrent

and you could be blowing their cover. Blackout blinds are cheap and no one will be climbing in your windows

late at night that's for sure.

I had this problem with a local school. Their playground security light penetrated into our bedroom like the light of a bright sunny day. It was torture. I rang them up. They didn't know, they adjusted it and they even wrote me a nice apologetic letter.

What an odd post. Your comment was very unhelpful and this further comment shows that you're quite an unpleasant person and possibly quite a troubled soul. My suspicion is that you've been here before under a different name. Your days may be numbered again....

Yep, looks like third time around for this one, the pomposity and needling style is quite distinctive.

I'm going to choose to ignore the rudeness of 'The Dutchmans' message because they just want the attention. I cannot identify the house as I am not familiar with the layouts of every house and back garden on the street. Black out blinds aren't an option, and the light is shining directly into the windows. I'm going to take the advice of the pleasant contributors to this post and ignore their unhelpful vitriol.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
