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

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
