There are always more important things in the world than the stuff raised in pretty much every thread on this forum. That's the nature of the forum.


This was an incredibly loud ; drums, shouting, music wedding at a venue licensed to stage such events in the future.

So ,yes, it is (relatively) important for those who had it inflicted upon them to contact the school about:

Licensing

Why there wasn't a contact number for the organisers (schools are required to provide an out of hours contact number)

The proposed frequency of any future events

Why neighbouring streets weren't advised that such a loud event was going to take place

What the school considers its duty to be as a good neighbour to those in the local area who had this inflicted upon them (this isn't like a one off party, this is a business benefiting financially at cost to non-benefiting neighbours)


And if the school aren't contacted then they'll just think it's ok to do it again.

As it was this event met the criteria for calling out the Southwark noise team.

Seems their licence for music it to 11.30 only, a complaint would be fair.

And these conditions too maybe?


845 - That after 20:00 Hours NO drinks are to be consumed outside the building (including balconies and terraces)


846 - That after 20:00 Hours other than for the purpose of entry and egress all doors are to be kept closed.


847 - That after 20:00 Hours all windows are to kept closed.

"Get a life". One of the most overused clich?s along with "national treasure", "the rest is history" and "what's not to like?" If you're going to criticise other posters, please find a more original phrase.


And from your posting history I see (a) that you no longer live in ED, so any noisy ED events won't disrupt your sleep, and (b) you have used the phrase "get a life" in at least one previous post; it's obviously one of your favourites.

The above conditions - definitely.

As someone that has played in a functions band and done loads of weddings, 12:30 is not normal if there was a band (someone mentioned drums, so guessing there was). And somewhere like Alleyns is very residential for that sort of thing.


I don't think it's unreasonable to complain, it's a family area with lots of young kids.


Complaints could lead to them being forced to fit a sound limiter, which is common in that sort of venue.

This was not a one off party held by a local resident. It was a commercial venture run by an organisation for a profit. There would have been specific conditions attached to their licence. If, when faced with breaches of the licence, the attitude is "Why complain? People were having fun. You're a load of moaning gits", what is the point of having a licence in the first place if its provisions are not going to be monitored/enforced?

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
