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

    • Here is the decision document. I’m sure we will all agree that it’s great Southwark is listening to businesses. “This request came from the businesses on Lordship Lane, informing Highways that they have large vehicles coming to collect and deliver goods from the business which causing an obstruction as vehicles are parked both sides of the entrance and opposite resulting into the vehicle having to block the whole road and cause obstruction.” “Officers attended site and met with the local business to discuss what would be the best solution to allowing the large vehicles to drop off and collect without obstructing and blocking the road off. As a result, it was agreed that double yellow lines will allow space for loading/unloading without obstructing the road.”   a Officers attended site and met with the local business to discuss That isn’t true, so long as the driver is actually loading (ie not shopping nearby).
    • Thanks very much, that's really interesting. I feel better about the shredded paper not being recycled now! And even better that I can get it out of the house and into the green bin! I will save a bit for future composting though  (and homemade seed paper, thanks Peckhamgatecrasher) x
