sound system!!

[almost peckham]

Some one has set up a sound system on the junction of Danby Street and Colpleston Road. This is the third time they have done it over the last week. Quite apart from it being unsociably loud for anyone who doesn't want to listen to it quite a few (well, about ten at the moment) people are starting to gather, adults with children for f's sake! Seems just about the most stupid and selfish thing to do at the moment. What does anyone reccommend, police non-emergency, noise team?? People are idiots.

A bucket of water?

Seems someone has rung the police while I was dithering and have shut him down. Council's noise team are currently and ongoingly suspended if anyone wants to know.

Somebody round our way did a similar thing on Saturday afternoon... set up a big PA playing pop music for an hour or two. I imagine it was well intentioned, but struck me as rather presumptuous, inappropriate even. There are all sorts of reasons why people might not want to be "cheered up" by very loud music at the moment.

I heard my neighbour laughing in her garden this morning. I was livid. Woke me up. Will have to have a word with her later. Or maybe just a moan but not to her face.

#Honestly# Music in the afternoon? For a couple of hours?

I suspect there will be some 'private' parties over the weekend. Last night was quite lively outside in terms of random shouts and screams.

It only annoys me as it reminds me I miss the pub - already googling my Covidend pub crawl :)

Did you phone the police when there were people gathering the parks at the weekend?

You grumpy sods.

Thanks for that link - just what needed this sunny afternoon - to listen to a bit of Mr. Brown and reminisce.

Unfortunately the recent "liveliness" outside ended in a stabbing last night (rye lane) - boy is OK though apparently in hospital.

Knife crime. Has it fallen since isolation? I haven't heard as much since.

[Blah Blah]

Yes it has fallen, along with some other injuries people arrive at A+E with, following pub fights, street robbery, road accidents and from playing sports.

I think Police may have a busy time over the weekend breaking up gatherings.

[seenbeen]

Traditionally this weekend is busy for A and E because of DIY incidents

Nice to have a balanced opinion.
