Antisocial behaviour

[joel_mole]

Hi all,

New member of the site, have been living in ED since May (Copleston Rd) and generally loving it.

However last night was woken up by a car driving down the road slowly and repeatedly sounding its horn. About 1:30am. It's a one way road but he must have been round the block a couple of times as it went on just long enough to wake up my 4 month old baby.

I can see myself getting just about wound up enough to go outside and 'have a word' one day...probably result in my being stabbed or whatever but who the f--- thinks this is acceptable behaviour?

No particular point to this posting other than getting this off my chest and sharing...

Cheers,

Joel

It is really annoying Joel, but probably a one-off.

Hi Joel, sorry to hear that, it's annoying enough any time of day let alone the early hours of the morning. Was it a mini-cab driver, they have a habit of beeping their horns until they get a response, especially if the driver isn't sure of the house? We get quite a bit of it opposite where we live as there are a number of really big houses split into flats, but it usually occurs early evening. Hope it doesn't happen again.

Which end of Copleston??

[joel_mole]

east dulwich station end, just opposite Hayes Grove (the newish housing estate). Thanks for your comments all, it does happen just a little bit too often for my liking. I have called the police twice on their non-emergency peckham station no. in the last 6 months for similar stuff. Once when a guy pulled up outside, well a couple of houses down, and parked and and sounded the horn repeatedly for 20 mins at 3am. Police car came immediately (fair play to em) and 'moved him on'.

Last night, was not a mini cab, was a small car full of young guys and playing some incredibly loud music, which only lasted 15 seconds or so. Then the horn stuff.

ok, if it was the other end I may have had a clue what was going on.

They may be dealing....................

In the past I lived next door in a different area to a guy in a flat who was dealing. For 6 months there were people outside his flat all through the night at about half hour intervals shouting his name. He would drop the keys down as he was on the top floor. Drove me insane through lack of sleep. He eventually went to prison. The whole property had some very troublesome tenants in it. I sympathise.

Attracting a lot of attention for that I'd have thought!

Hi Joel_mole,

Probably a good idea to tell the South Camberwell ward Safer Neighbourhood Team about every indicent as they cover your road. They're not 24/7 but they will work is crime and anti social behaviour reduction and look for patterns etc. They'd probably benefit from any numbers plate information.

Contact details for them are.

Thanks James, I appreciate it. Had a visit from a couple of councillors on the doorstep recently. Most heartening to see them out and about and talking to people.

I will get the number plate next time.
