This is my contribution to a series of noise related threads which have been covered on the forum in recent months.


Antisocial behaviour stemming from noise is of course terrible especially when you have young kids who need their sleep. Would it be possible that if in future people have a genuine concern about pubs, commercial and residential premises making excess noise into the early hours, that they contact either the person/business themselves to see if they can resolve the matter peacefully and if no joy contact the Southwark noise team and provide them with the information they need. Does this sound fair enough?


I'm sure many people are becoming a little tired with the constant (and excessive) flow of angry posts pointing fingers and blaming others for noise, and achieving very little. Put simply, all you have to do is act upon it. No big deal. I know the forum is a great place to discuss things and get your point across, but I don't think it's fair to point out specific businesses and people without going through the normal channels first. London is a big city, it's a noisy place, I'm sure we can all live side by side without bitterness regarding noise.


Louisa.

I agree with Lou. As far as I can see it is just rabble rousing and trying to encourage others to complain when there may not even be a problem. In fact the noise complaint could be false and ftom a disgruntled customer. What makes it all worse is that people register on here, or even re-register on here just to complain. Very suspicious.

i haven't noticed that there've been more noise-related threads recently than there have ever been


but: if someone is new to East Dulwich and encounters a noise problem; they hear about the power of the Forum and register in the hope that they can get advice or help - what's so suspicious about that? isn't that what the Forum is actually about?


ETA but i seem to have spotted at least one poster who seems to specialise in anti-anti-noise posting - it takes all sorts

      That's great you have the cat! Sorry to interfere, and feel free to ignore this, but it might not be a great idea to post your mobile number on a public forum? You can message the owner on the forum via a private message.

      Venue hire suggestions

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.

      Thank you to who ever keeps the forum going

      By beansprout · Posted

      Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
