Hi,

We're considering buying a house on crystal palace road-in between pellatt and silvester roads. The garden backs onto the side of a royal mail sorting office, which fronts onto pellatt road.

Does anyone living at the CPR end of pellatt or silvester rds or on that bit of CPR have noise issues with inevitable early starts etc from the sorting office/van traffic?

Any help really appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Live a bit too far away to comment on direct noise issues but I've noticed that a lot of the van drivers keep their engines running to (presumably) warm up the cabs while they stick postbags, parcels etc in the back. I guess that might be a bit irritating. The British Gas vans that pick up their parts etc from the PO there do it too.

Hi, you could try knocking on the doors of houses near the sorting office to ask if they've had problems with noise.


A way to meet/check out your prospective new neighbours, too :)


You could also have an early start one day and go to the area one morning to check out the noise level for yourself - bad time of year, I know, but the weather's not as cold as it has been at the moment!

Years and years ago the sorting office vans had these really heavy iron back doors with chains attached and they used to zoom by in the early hours (3-4am) relatively quietly.

Then council put the speedbumps on CP road.

The back doors made an atrocious noise, really deafening, within a couple of days I had to move bedroom to back of house because being woken up so violently was really unsettling, the vans actually shook the house as they banged into the speed bumps.

I complained up and down but it was Bumsteersville, Tennessee.

The vans have changed now I think.

We used to live on Pellatt Road very near to the sorting station and did find it quite annoying. There was often noise of van doors, drivers chatting, and sometimes loud music blaring inside the vans very early in the morning. I think the noise was concentrated in the driveway on Pellat, so might be okay on the other side by Crystal Palace Road?

I used to rent a flat next to the sorting office on Pellatt Road and to be honest it was a constant source of annoyance. It was not just the noise early in the mornings and the number of vehicles parked outside but the fact that there were overnight deliveries. This meant that in the summer I couldn't have windows open overnight as it sounded like a truck was reversing directly into the bedroom...


This was about 7 years ago however so might have changed by now. I think where I was living was also probably the worst possible location as it was directly next to the sorting office.

    • The tenant's business has already failed. If the landlord doesn't accept it, they can have a vacant property, stand in the queue of creditors, and get paid little or nothing. It's a gamble that the restructuring will work and the tenant will start paying rent again. Commercial properties are often hard to let. 🤷
    • An inquiry will put a huge amount of time and resource into looking at what happened in the past and why it happened and who was responsible and, in a year or two maybe more, a report will be produced and actions may or may not be taken, some of those responsible for bad decisions will already have resigned and moved on.   Given that we now already understand some of the issues that allowed this awful behaviour to continue unchallenged, my concern is less about whether there is an inquiry to examine what happened in the past but about what is being done right now to protect girls and young women from predatory and exploitative men in whatever race or identity they come in. Inquiries examine the past but don't necessarily solve problems and they certainly don't come up with conclusions quickly which is why they can often feel hollow.  I'd rather see perpetrators and those that let the perpetrators act with impunity, actually being prosecuted and an inquiry won't do that.  I suspect that's why some MPs voted against an inquiry. But do feel free to give me examples of inquiries that really made a difference and actually changed things in a timely and effective way.      
    • In recent consultation on further ED CPZ the majority of respondents were against. Fully appreciate you may not live on a road proposed for CPZ. If you are close to that area it is likely you will be affected by parking displacement if the CPZ goes in. I was just curious what James Barber's position on this is? Perhaps he'll come on here and let us know. He was always really good at visiting the forum.
