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).

    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all.
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
