Can I just remind Councillor Barber that


a) there were no drums there

b) our hoardings are canvas and I am sure banging canvas cannot be heard half a mile away. I would track down the true source of the noise instead of making trouble for the club where there is none.


Anyone with any genuine complaints should contact the club or Southwark's noise hotline.


In the meantime I would suggest the good councillor tackles problems that need tackling in the area, and not problems that have been made up.


If he has had complaints I would suggest he:


a) Details times, dates, how many etc and contacts the club with this information (and post it here)

b) explains why he has failed to act on them and has not contacted the club with them.


I don't think the club can be any more accommodating to the local community than that.

As barber is active, only on subjects that suit his own ends, in comparisson to other local cllrs that dont post much on a local forum that is not representative of ED does not make him immune from accountability, transparency, critiscism or indeed being required to provide evidence of his 'facts'. This thread is about dhfc and alleged noise nuisance, not about your poloitical preferences.

Except that's not true, is it? He engages with all (even the abusive, mean spirited ones) on just about any subject that comes up that involves the council. His long-running thread has been useful to many, many people. I remember he was all in favour of the CPZ that was rejected, but still engaged with the antis and provided useful information and helped get the delegation heard.


Some people just have it in for him because he fails to agree with their point of view on each and every subject (a bit like they expect of every politician). Considering some of the abuse he receives on here from some people, I think he has the patience of a saint.

Two from long standing forumites and one from someone that's been around for about a year. What exactly are you implying, considering you only registered three weeks ago and have posted exclusively upon this thread?

Pathetic.


ETA: Oh, you deleted your post. Well, your deleted post was pathetic, but sadly I don't suppose many people saw it, given the time :(6


Oh, and btw, my political (sic) preferences are not those of James Barber, but I still think he is an excellent councillor.

To all the Barberettes - please keep on topic, this thread is about dhfc and alleged noise nuisance. Barber can be critiscised whether or not you like him. Maybe start a fanclub page in the lounge for your worship. This allegations made in this thread could have dire consequences for dhfc.

I live just over half a mile away from Beagle, and I too am often kept awake. Furious howls of dispair, the thumping of hands against walls, the shreiks of injustice and the gasps of indignation. And thats before they start tap tap taping away on their computer, filling yet another complaint form whilst simultaneously howling at the imaginary insects swarming around their room. I wouldn't mind so much, but it's not just me they disturb, I've got a young brood of recently stuffed British weasels, and their faces, they are so, so sad. Is anyone else here disturbed by Beagle? Something should be done. #Barber


p.s. Is he a real barber?

Dear Mr Barber,


Re: Your comments on how many hours a child needs to sleep. You say 12 Hours for a school age. Which is 5 years old. According to this NHS website ( http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Childrenssleep/Pages/howmuchsleep.aspx ) a 5 year old needs 11 hours. A man of your considerable position should not be giving out wrong medical advice. I'll stick to the NHS for my advice, and perhaps you should stick to what you know best...cutting peoples hair I'm guessing.


Dissapointed of Dulwich

HAHA!!! Too bloody right.


Five years ago the noise disturbance was delivery lorries and horny residents around Burrows Rd having sex too loudly. If only we had a genuinely successful, passionate and local sports team on our doorstep who don't go to bed before the watershed, then we could really complain.


You buy a house close to a sports stadium, you buy the conditions attached to that. Blame your surveyor - do mot whinge to your councillor.

Police have only ever dropped in when we payed a friendly against German side Altona, which was the friendliest of games we have played! We have 7 health and safety stewards (always looking for more!!) and 2 SIA authorised security. Police are obviously just a phone call away. Big clubs DO pay for policing-Wembley stadium internally is police free zone
Ah, but the game ended before all children need to start their regulation 12 hours of sleep, which, if it fails to materialise even just once or twice a month, will doom them to idiocy and send our country's economy right down the drain.

    • Gone to the better hunting grounds during this local ongoing dry spell.
    • The Dreamliner has an impeccable service history, you are more likely to get mugged on the way to the airport than having any issue with your flight, that's how safe it is!  Have a great trip.
    • Maybe. Does that kill grass? If so, possibly the same dog that has left its poo outside my house - pretty sure it's not fox poo.
    • Here you are, intexasatthemoment (you seem to have been in Texas for a very long time!) We went to three of the recommended places yesterday,  as they were all in the same road (just near Wallington)  and I needed to give the car a run to avoid another slap on the wrist from my garage (and another new battery). Here's my findings. BARNES Parking We thought we would go here first as it was the earliest to close on a Sunday (3pm). There was no apparent entrance or anywhere to park. One notice said do not park on grass verge, and another one said staff cars only! Flittons was opposite but I'd already passed the entrance, so I had to drive down the road, turn round at the next available place (covered in signs saying do not park here) and park in Flittons car park! Plants Barnes  specialise in hardy perennials, so that was basically what they had, but an excellent selection, and many more unusual plants (or at least, plants you probably wouldn't find in a garden centre), eg Corydalis,  lots of different varieties of Epimediums, Trollius, some lovely Phygelius, lots of different ferns). The plants were divided into sections according to whether they needed sun or shade or could cope with both. They had a particularly good selection of  shade loving plants. There was really useful information above  each group of plants, which meant you didn't have to look at individual labels. All the plants looked in good health and  very well cared for. They don't produce a printed catalogue, but they  said their plant list was online (I haven't looked yet). I assume most of  the plants they have at any one time are when it's their flowering season (if they flower). I wasn't intending to buy anything, though was very tempted, but I'd definitely go here again once I've sorted out my overgrown garden. Other Stuff Don't think they sell pots, compost, etc. No cafe/tea room and I didn't see a loo, but Flittons is just over the road. FLITTONS  Parking Easy to park Plants Sorry, but mostly terrible. There was one section with vegetables and the rest was flowering plants. There was a general feeling of delapidation. Some of what was on display was actually dead (surely it would only take a minute to remove dead plants) and a lot of the rest was very poorly maintained, eg gone to seed, weedy, apparently unwatered, or with a lot of dead leaves. There was a notice asking for volunteers to work there, so I can only assume they can't afford to pay staff. Other stuff There was a notice to a play barn (?) saying invited people only, so I think they must host kids' parties or something. They redeemed themselves with a cosy little cafe with savoury stuff, nice cakes, iced chai and oat milk, and a loo. Also a selection of books and CDs on sale for charity. If you want an Andrews Sisters CD, you can find one here. There is a small shop with gift shop type stuff and a display of the history of Flittons, which apparently is family owned since the sixties (I think it was). I suspect that the arrival of Dobbies down the road must have greatly affected Flittons' fortunes, which is sad. DOBBIES  Parking Easy in theory once you had navigated a rather narrow entrance, but it was very busy so it took a while to find a space. Plants  Lots of plants, well maintained but I imagine their turnover is high. Lots of nice bedding plants for hanging baskets, window boxes etc  to cater for all tastes (ie some of it wasn't mine, but fine if you like those horrid little begonias (my opinion only) but they did have some nice (in my opinion) stuff as well. I was tempted but decided to buy from North Cross Road market. Fair selection of climbers, various different Clematis etc. I'd be happy to buy plants from here. The prices seemed reasonable and they were in good condition. Other stuff  It's a big garden centre with all that entails these days, so a large area selling garden furniture and storage, tools, animal collars, pots, all the usual stuff you would expect. Very helpful staff. There's a cafe which we didn't check out, charging points for electric cars, a Waitrose (no idea how big, we didn't look). Only on our way out did we see that there was a drive through "express section" for compost etc, which was annoying as I wanted compost and hadn't seen any anywhere,  but I was getting tired by that time. Just Down the Road A ten minute drive away is Wilderness Island, a nature reserve in Carshalton, which is well worth a visit. We heard eleven different kinds of bird (according to Merlin) and saw a Kingfisher flying down the tiny river!
