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.

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

      Council tax

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)

      I wouldn't be going all the way to Dobbies  just to take flowerpots! 😀 It's a very good garden centre with a wide range of well kept  plants and helpful staff, at least it was on the only occasion I've visited it, last year!

      Council tax

      By Jules-and-Boo · Posted

      Why do Councils need more funding? What are they spending our money on, how efficiently are they running? are they performing an adequate service as is? Are they viewing the public with contempt, that we will continually foot larger bills to cover all and any costs? Do our counsellors do their best, for us? why are they adding this on to the residents, on top of tax already paid? Council tax is not insubstantial. The service provided is not great. I do not believe they use our money effectively.  Our CT Bill is £50 a week.
