For the past three nights, one of the residents in a block of flats across the road from us on the corner of Crystal Palace Road and East Dulwich Road (what we are told is a type of halfway house) has been playing loud music throughout the night. The resident, for whatever reason, insists on placing his speakers on the windowsill leaving his windows open so that the whole area can enjoy tunes from Kiss fm all night long. We are struggling to get much sleep at night and have contacted the noise pollution team at Southwark Council, is anyone else suffering with the same problem? If so, please let the noise team know so that this may be resolved.


We think this may be a new resident as we have not had any problems in the past...

I believe quite a few forumites live down that way so yuo should have some support - it's a painful situation to be in. I have had to move home when I lived in Devon for same reason


Obviously I expect a fair bit of the old noise and music livig in London but loud music every night, all night and you can't sleep? That's not just inconvenient that can bring on horrible episodes through lack of sleep


best of luck

My sincere apologies to many of my previous neighbours. Selfishly, I used to be that nutter (not the one on Adys Rd).


But in my defence I grew up with noise. Lots of it. Fiery parents and noisy neighbours. We had a 9 strong Irish family with a mother that constantly screamed blue murder on one side and a West Indian family on the other side that held regular drinking/gambling parties with a King Tubby or U-Roy bass line rattling my bedroom window till breakfast time. Everywhere I went everyone was blasting out music and demonstrating the power of their speakers. Not that I minded at that age.


When I moved to Ladbroke Grove every floor of our house had a Sound System that pumped out Soul, Funk and Reggae day and night. Useful when a production co. filmed The Bill or The Chinese Detective on our street. We'd get paid to lower the volume, spend it on All Saints Rd and turn it back up again!


It wasn't until I bought my first home in Hammersmith (above a deaf 90 year old) and the council served an order on my wardrobe sized speakers that it occurred to me that I should turn it down a bit. I have ever since. Mostly. Sorry.

Gerrard I work for the organisation that manages this house. Could you PM me your details and I will pass your complaint on to the manager of the team that runs it. The problem I know was going on all weekend as the on call worker had to go out a number of times.


I am very sorry you are suffering like this.

I know the flat you are talking about, it is a recurring theme from that block and I have contacted the council many times to no avail. The residents are a complete nuisance, loud music, sheets instead of curtains/blinds, kids spill out onto the street at night drinking alcopops and most insist on having a rottweiler or a pit bull as a pet (the new badge for the socially deprived)- tragic for such a nice area.

So one of the first nice weekends of the summer. The sun is shining and all is fine. Apart from the bl*ody selfish b*stards in altima court! intent on spreading the R&B gospel they continue polluting the beautiful day with their loud excuse for music. Am i the only one wanting a little piece and quiet at the weekend - or am i just getting old???

which was it - R&B or gospel? Is there a hybrid? Glad I missed it...


R&B = no

Gospel = fine (even tho I'm a loooong way from religious)


What time of day was it? If it was before 10pm then I would say a fine summer evening in one of the worlds big cities, that sort of thing is the least of one's worries

ratty, to put your mind at rest, I do not think the noise is coming from the building managed by your organisation. If I were a gambling man, I would wager that the complaint is in respect of the RnB music which is played very loudly and frequently from one of the flats in the social housing block that is part of the Altima Court development.


Thanks mainly to your efforts and with the support of your organisation, we have had no further noise issues or broken nights sleep ourselves. Our flat is far enough away from the RnB for it to be a problem for us, but I do sympathise with my neighbours as noise can become a real problem.

Its not part of Altima Court! The halfway houses around Altima Court were built at the same time as part of the planning gain agreement by the developers of Altima Court. Having built them the developers handed them over to whoever now runs them.


If the noise is coming from Altima Court then contact Peverel Ltd, the managing agents. Their phone number is on the noticeboards at the entrances to Altima Court.

Is Altima court the new build block on the east side of Crystal Palace Road?


EDR (what I call it) is the building opposite on the west side. This is the one managed by the organisation I work for.


The block on the east side has a number of units that were let through Southwark Council Choice Based Lettings - I know because when I decanted a house for drug users in Elephant some years ago, a lot of them were offerred housing in this block. It is not uncommon for developers to have to include a number of social hoising units in new london housing developers - they are usually funded by the Housing Corp and handed over to RSLs to run (I believe).


Confused of Lewisham.

I think you are both right, and apologies for the confusion. The noise (I believe) is coming from the social housing that was built when Altima Court was built two years ago, I only get the chance to enjoy the loud RnB beats when I do my recycling (like a proper East Dulwich lad). It isnt part of Altima but was built at the same time.


Apols for my oversight, Micheal.

Altima Court runs along the south side of ED Road between Oakhurst Road and Crystal Palace Road. These are all privately owned.


The 2 supported housing blocks are behind Altima Court and face Oakhurst Road and Crystal Palace Road.


Ratty your bit is on the traffic lights in between Altima Court and the Council offices.

    • 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.
