I'm hoping someone can help. I live on Therapia Road and there is a dog that barks very loudly at various intervals throughout the night. Last night was the worst yet: I was woken up at 23:30, 00:30, 01:30, 03:30 and 05:30. It's coming from the back of my property, so possibly Mundania Road or the block of flats between Therapia and Mundania Roads. The dog is clearly being left outside overnight, every night (even during the freezing cold temperatures we've had recently) and is understandably not happy about it. I don't hear it during the daytime, so haven't been able to go and figure out exactly where the dog is and/or speak with the owner. This is really affecting my sleep, I'm exhausted - if anyone knows anything about this dog (or is suffering like me) please let me know!

I don't know what hours Southwark Noise Control work now, as I think they were changed, but it might be useful to speak to them about this, and also to see if your immediate neighbours are also affected by the barking?

If you keep a record (as in your post above) that would be useful for the noise control people.

Also, you shouldn't have to do this, but some years back when my sleep was constantly disturbed by a neighbour's  boiler going on and off all night (I assume it was faulty) I eventually changed my bedroom window to one with triple glazing.

You will need to be able to provide an address before the council or animal welfare will get involved.

Dogs can be left outside if they have access to shelter. In this instance, there does seem to be a pattern.

We had a neighbour who let her dog bark. She said "He likes barking" so didn't do anything. 

She didn't like being shouted at over the gardens or her door knocked by her various annoyed neighbours, so it stopped. Just a thought.

Bit hard to do that in the middle of the night without causing even more disturbance to other neighbours than the original barking!

Are you sure you need to provide an address? There must be loads of instances where it's very hard to trace the source of a noise, and I certainly wouldn't want to be roaming around by myself in the middle of the night trying to track it down!

I am actually planning to get my windows replaced, so if all else fails that should eventually help!

It does need to be triple glazing, not double.

I was told that it's what they use for office windows at Heathrow, but I've no idea if that's true.

It doesn't make the room completely soundproof, but it does make a huge difference.

There must be no gaps anywhere, even very thin ones, where noise could get through.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
