I read it that the OP is rightly grouchy and fed up of being ill, and just wanted a whinge. But to whinge about something like kids playing too loud is risible- this is zone 2 in London, not the Cotswolds. There are many people in close proximity, going about their business- nothing wrong with that.

The OP comes across as a bit unrealistic to me.


I'd agree that lawnmowers, power tools, etc before 8am or so is antisocial. But 10am? Not so much.


And I think kids playing out in the garden any time between breakfast and around 8pm is pretty much fair game, to be honest. Especially at the moment, as they're mostly bored out of their brains with few opportunities to burn off their energy. If they really are consistently "shouting at the top of their voices" then yeah the parents should really tell them to pipe down, but hard to say if this is exaggerated or not...

It's easy to check out the hours on the Southwark website but they were not doing anything about it during lock down and the only reason I got mine dealt with is because I had the foreman's mobile number which I passed on to the council and they phoned him up. The problem with the domestic project builders is that they will flout ALL the rules and regulations about hours, noise control, dust control etc( e.g.litter and fag butts being thrown into my garden, tiles and bricks falling into my garden)overfilled skips and the rubbish getting blown up the street until you complain to them and then you get sarcastic comments and rudeness from some of them- it is VERY frustrating.

It should be made COMPULSORY (in fact that is something Southwark could put in their building regulations) to have a board up with contact details because it is very stressful continuously having to deal with these people at any time- but especially when you are stuck at home sick or having to work from home.

    • Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.
    • Does anybody know why? Trees aren't cut down for no reason. There must have been something wrong with it (I hope that was the reason). A child was recently killed and another one injured when a tree fell in a park (not in this area). It isn't always obvious from the outside when a tree is diseased or whatever, and I imagine the council would give safety considerations priority when deciding what to do, if there was any doubt at all.
    • It looks like they have cut it down completely now 😭
    • Different people will be  involved within Thames Water. The people dealing with the leaks aren't the people encouraging less water usage. How many people have reported the Barry Road leak? By what channels? What response have they had? When we had a leak in our road which meant we had no water, several people reported it, there was good communication with TW, they explained why they couldn't come out immediately (other urgent jobs elsewhere in the area) , kept  in touch with us and fixed the leak within a reasonable timescale (hours). Someone from TW also contacted me later to make sure my water was back. But does Thames Water know about it? They aren't psychic (I presume). If nobody reports it, I also presume they won't even know the leaks are  there, unless they have some kind of central monitoring system which tells them when there are leaks in the system. To make it clear, I am not defending Thames Water as a company, which I think should never have been privatised.  But there are some things they can't be blamed for (old and disintegrating water pipe system in London) and some they can (possibly, lack of sufficient staff to deal with leaks, maybe due to trying to save money to give their shareholders more. But this is just surmise on my part - I know nothing about Thames Water).
