Anyone else hear this pain in the arse pretty much every night roaring around the Goodrich Road/Friern Road area? The noise from his scooter makes the windows in our flat shake and you can hear him half way down the road towards Peckham Rye!!!


No idea where he lives, but seen him flying around the roads a few times and he drives like a bloody mad man. Can this sort of thing be reported to the authorities?

Speak to the Local Safer Neighborhood team and see what they recommend.


It may be that there is nothing you can do, but they may (at the very least) have a quiet word with him to alert him to the noise nuisance he is causing (and may well not know about)

It's one particular guy on a silver scooter. I noticed him on Monday afternoon going up Lordship and couldnt believe the racket. Ever since then I've heard him going around Lordship late at night.


What was wrong with just putting playing cards on the rear spoke or you raleigh bike?

Its a guy at the end of Hillcourt/ Goodrich near Donkey alley who does the work on scooters to soup them up. Therefore, the local kids come to visit him late at night to get work done. Therefore, its not actually that easy to deal with, unless he is trading illegally... Trading standards may be the best approach along with the rozzers.

Can anyone who heard this do two things:


Report to the East Dulwich safer neighborhood team (Duncan Jackson) on 020 8721 2447 AND the Peckham Rye team (Neil Cook) 020 8721 2443.


Second - send a noise complaint report to Southwark on: https://securesite.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=480

or call 020 7525 5777.


A little pressure should resolve this.

I've heard this twonk. Might I suggest all of us concerned simply stand at your window or on the pavement and point and laugh at him. He is doing it just to show off after all and if he was made to look ridiculous instead he'd quickly stop. I'm not sure what these types think is going to happen by having a very noisy scooter. Are the local ladies going to be alerted to his presence by the racket and chase him down the street begging for a date because he has a little bike that makes a lot of noise?

In my experience little things that make a lot of noise are rarely a turn on to women.

Oer I ride a silver scooter around Friern road area but normally 8am on the way out and then 7pm on the way back. Please do not throw stones at me I think my bike is quiet and standard but please point out if my 125 is starting to sound like a Harley. thanks.

Loving your work, Jamma. I hear this prat fairly frequently revving his little hairdryer in the small hours. What a dick. A complaint seems unlikely to do any good, though. Buy some earplugs and sleep through it, or set overnight piano wire between 2 lamposts at a height of about 5"...


(although if i can ever afford another bike then i'd appreciate it if the wire idea could be revoked when i'm working late ;-))

Left a message for Duncan to call me and filled in the form on the Southwark website. Hopefully put an end to this god awful noise.


Failing that - the piano wire acorss the road seems a good shout!!!

We're on dunstan's road and often hear the roar of the t*** on his bike and yes our windows shake as well. Last night was particularly bad. Will report the noise also - hopefully if enough people do, something might be able to be done (...well one can dream!).

Just as a question, has anyone actually mentioned the problem to the rider, he/she may not know they are causing a nuisance and may well not realise that they are p@ssing off 90% of East Dulwich, or they may have a blown exhaust that needs repairing and they are stalling it until pay day.


Whilst I am not normally tolerant, I would say give them the benefit of the doubt before purchasing piano wire as the red tape involved in a headless rider is huge....:'(

It's difficult to do so as when ever I have heard him it's been late at night and by the time I think to get up... he's half way towards Peckham. Will be putting in a late shift tonight to have a word.


Spoke to Duncan who was very nice and helpful and if anyone catches a glimpse of his registration number we've to get it to Duncan as he can pay him a visit at home.

Its not that particular rider. Its the guy who deregulates the scooters - so there are multiple people visiting. Therefore, the person to deal with is the one doing the work.


I will have a word with his parents.

So glad this has come up and is annoying others too! I thought I was getting old and crabby! And I thought it might be a pizza delivery...Complaining seems a good idea but after reading the posts I am unsure - are we dealing with one biker or many?

Seems it might be multiple riders... still if we can get one registration number, Duncan can pay him a visit and obtain the information as to who the guy is doing the work....

      Are we now under a flight path?

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      By Sue Klein · Posted

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
