A plea to the person having a loft extension built on Bawdale Road, which according to the planning docs is the householder: please could you ask your builders to desist from working on a bank holiday. I have tried phoning the SOuthwark noise team but was waiting on hold for a reply for 40 minutes. So I just went round there (I live on Whateley in a house that backs onto the building site) and tried shouting to your workmen from the street but they either ignored me or couldn't hear me because of the noise they're making. They have consistently ignored the Southwark construction hours regs over the past few weeks and I am losing my patience!!

Note through the door? Find out what company the workmen are from and complain to them?


If they are consistently ignoring regs, report them to the relevant council department (not noise).


It's possible the owners are away and not aware of all this?


Hope you find some way to stop it, building work noise is a nightmare anyway without having it on bank holidays as well.

There is banner up outside with the company's number on, but it connected to what sounded like an office answerphone - I suspect I won't get any response to that message before Monday at the earliest.


I have now got through to the noise team but am waiting for a call back. Hopefully that happens before the builders pack up for the day.

      Traffic shaking the gaff!

      By Spartacus · Posted

      This reads like an article in Gardeners World where Percy Chucker is discussing how he grew his SUV so big just using diesel based fertiliser and regular waywrimg 🤣   But point well made, they are getting bigger which is partly down to safety features that older cars didn't have but also marketing as adverts seen to push SUVs into the public eye.

      Recommendation for Phil – FourPawsDoors – Cat Flap Fitter

      By cat woman · Posted

      I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010

      Traffic shaking the gaff!

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      Cars are getting bigger and heavier (new cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards. The average width of a new car in the EU and UK passed 180cm in the first half of 2023, having grown an average of 0.5cm each year since 2001). Speed enforcement is also pretty rare in practice and according to DfT stats, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 50% of car drivers exceed the speed limit on 30mph roads. Hopefully we'll see regulation to stop the car bloat arms race, and perhaps moves to use the same geofenced speed limiters deemed essential for electric hire scooters, but not currently SUVs. Would certainly be more effective and cause less noise, pollution and damage than speed bumps. Also the cost gets passed to the manufactures, rather than public authorities.
