We live on Colyton Road, and most nights in the supposedly closed & locked park there are groups of what sound like many more than six people having parties / gatherings, with lots of singing, shouting, screaming etc until gone midnight - there's some there right now. The poor park warden always shouts that he's closing the park around 9.30, but I appreciate he's not expected to evict people who won't leave.


I've submitted online reports to the Met several times, but have had no response apart from the usual acknowledgement of submission emails. I would call 101 but suspect it would have the same result, and cost me money. I appreciate they are busy and probably short staffed, and are wary of groups after the incidents in Brixton etc., but surely something can be done? It's not just the noise at night, or the blatant flouting of the covid regulations which may well contribute to a second wave, it's the amount of rubbish that is left behind. My partner & boys go for a walk early every weekday morning, and are appalled at the cans & bottles strewn everywhere. Also, with no toilet facilities open, there's probably plenty of other material left behind.


I can't believe I'm the only person who is aware of, and getting increasingly frustrated with, this issue, although I can't seem to find any posts on this forum, which is a surprise!


Anyone got any ideas...?

I popped there one Sat eve and couldn't believe the state of the place with noise, litter and lack of social distancing. I was surprised at the time that I hadn't seen more noise from local residents- it was like walking into a festival. I think you have to make ALOT of noise to get things addressed but it can have results. There was a post on Dawsons Heights that was taken down and that situation looked even worse. Mary123 has since posted an update so it might be worth contacting her to see if she has any advice. Personally I would call 101 and I would write to Cllr Richard Livingstone. I don't see how the council can justify tolerating the disturbance to residents, the litter (the cost of clearing it each day must be huge) and the flouting of covid rules. I appreciate that many people will be doing nothing wrong but there are too many who are. Good luck

This actually makes me more sympathetic to the revellers while not excusing the late night noise and the debris left behind. There?s a lot Of pent up energy there which needs an outlet.

Yes, it is very unusual for the Summer!


I've lived here 15 years and there's never been this level of activity, day or night. Daytime is fine, I appreciate this year is different and people need to get out, especially with the good weather, and it's actually nice to hear the buzz. I also appreciate that people would ordinarily be elsewhere, maybe at friends, family, the pub, club, holiday, but hanging around in those numbers, making that amount of noise, that late at night, in a closed, locked park, and leaving that amount of litter, is just massively inconsiderate, careless, selfish & thoughtless - the very definition of anti-social?


Maybe I'll try 101 next time, but last time I did that (after having bikes stolen) I was amazed to find it had cost me several ??s, for no benefit...

How about Southwark Anti Social Behaviour Unit. Can report online, they should be able to liaise with Parks department. Take photos of the rubbish?


Also find out safer neighbourhood police contact.

Yes, I've had a response from Richard on something else, very quickly and very supportive

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
