Hi. Not Ideal. Is anyone else fed up of the shouty scaffolders working at Goose Green primary school? I live at least 15 gardens away from them, but all day Friday and now again this morning there's this sergeant major type barking orders at his men.


I know they're just doing their work, but it surely isn't necessary for him to shout so loudly that I can hear it as clear as a bell quite far away. If he shouted at half the decibels his men would still hear him loud and clear.


I rang Ideal, the firm they work for, this morning and a very nice woman answered. She said she'd give them a ring, but it's no better.


If anyone is affected by it (maybe I'm just being over-sensitive, but I'm already getting a headache from it again on what is a very rare lovely summer's day) perhaps you'd like to ring the office too.


It's 0208 293 0456

Ahhh. He's turned down the volume a bit. I can still hear him, but it's no longer like a foghorn!


My second phone call obviously worked. Woman couldn't have been nicer. When I said he obviously likes the sound of his own voice, she said: 'That's men for you!'. Ha ha! (sorry chaps...)

    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
