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.

Bugger - better put the baffle back onto my mini

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....

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
