Has anyone else been kept awake at night by noise from the Thames Water project on the Aquarius golf course (Colyton end)? During the day the noise is bearable but at night time the constant beeping of the crane and the crashing of the skips is like torture. It's been lovely to be free of the planes for several nights and now this has taken over!

I've been meaning to say something about this. Strictly I am a Nunhead resident (on the other side backing onto the golf course) but when the wind is in the right direction the beeping is almost unbearable. It's like Chinese water torture. Surely they shouldn't be working that late?

Ring up the Southwark Noise team. They are quite effective. When I lived in Bermondsey I reported the unacceptable noise during the night from the Hansard printing press and they took measures to have them supress the noise.

The southwark noise team are brilliant!


I complained about a car alarm that had been going off for over 24 hours and they were on my doorstep within 20 minutes - and they sorted the problem - wish I'd called them sooner

Have spoken to Thames Water who said that this particular phase of the project has now finished. They will still be working 24 hours a day but hope that the overnight noise will not be so bad in the future.If that is not the case I will contact Southwark Council but it's a tricky one. The work has got to be done and as it is it's due to go on until 2010. If they don't work at night it could take twice as long and I'm sure none of the local people want that. Once the summer comes and people are sleeping with their windows open it could become very difficult.

Whenever I've called them they've nearly always taken hours to turn up, by which time the noise is over.


But maybe they've improved. This was a year or so back when we had terrible trouble with a neighbour across the road who you could hear shouting and playing music even with all the doors and windows closed and our own music on !!!


They also only ever seemed to send out a subsequent letter after the few times they arrived in reasonable time, which I assume was because someone uses these letters for monitoring their success rate, so they can say they arrive within x minutes 95% of the time, or whatever, and it looks really good in the annual reports.


And when I actually had to hammer on this guy's door at 4 in the morning on Christmas Eve (and he couldn't hear me because he was making so much noise), the Southwark Noise people weren't on duty. Fair enough, I wouldn't want to work on Christmas Eve, but it was a bit ******* annoying as I could hear him even from a bedroom at the back (where I had been forced to retreat earlier in the year as he made so much noise it stopped me sleeping at the front).

    • 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.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
