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?

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
