Hello!


Is anyone else tired of the three or four men congregating on the benches on Choumert rd drinking, taking drugs, playing crap music until 1am, urinating up cars and trying to steal bikes?


I live opposite and i've tried to ask them nicely to please keep it down especially when it's past midnight. I often get told to F myself and to go away.


I've reported it to the noise pollution but not sure what else can be done since it doesn't seem serious enough for the police.


I just wondered if anyone else living close thought the same?

I would phone the non-urgent police number when it is happening - drunk & disorderly as well as a public order offence if they are swearing at you etc. in a public space. Officers in uniform will hold more sway unfortunately, and can require them to move along or arrest them if their behaviour deteriorates.

I think this is a long term problem - we live nearby (but not close enough to be affected daily) and the benches have always attracted drinkers in the time we?ve lived here.


Sorry you are suffering.

Don't hold breath for the council.


We had a similar problem when I lived on East Dulwich Road directly opposite Goose Green about 20/21 years ago.


We got a group of residents to go have a word about expected behavior in our area.


Unfortunately the words fell on deaf ears so the next night myself and a few residents went and conducted aggressive negotiations with the said drinkers.


Didn't have any major issues for the next few years. Job done.

I believe that The Lane safer neighbourhood police team have this on their list of ward priorities and you should contact that team directly to report any issues rather than the council who are not the right people to deal with this


It's potentially a multi agency issue and the starting point is the SNT.

Southwark have extra legal controls against street drinking which apply to all areas except Dulwich Village - https://www.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/drugs-and-alcohol?chapter=3

So the Police already have specific powers to confiscate alcohol etc at this location.

    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.
