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.

      Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
