Hello! Is anyone else tired of the three or four men congregating on the benches on Choumert rd drinking, taking drugs, playing crap music until 1am, urinating up cars and trying to steal bikes? I live opposite and i've tried to ask them nicely to please keep it down especially when it's past midnight. I often get told to F myself and to go away. I've reported it to the noise pollution but not sure what else can be done since it doesn't seem serious enough for the police. I just wondered if anyone else living close thought the same?

Hi all, Thanks so much for your genuine comments, they've definitely helped to comfort us in knowing that our neighbours care. We have certainly contacted the police, Veolia and Southwark Council. I will happily update on the situation as and when news comes in. I think it's important to reiterate the bin man was working solo ahead of the pick up lorry so I don't want to tar them all with the same brush. @Optic1 - I'm not sure if the story from the 50's is meant to make me feel grateful I'm not in that era or perhaps a polite way of saying to say chin up, it could have been worse. Of course our encounter wasn't physical or too harmful but it's important to share these experiences to highlight the existing inequality in our community. Thanks again all! Have a lovely weekend :)

Hello! I was on a walk today with my boyfriend around the block on Copleston St/Danby St at mid day. A man wearing a 'Veolia' high vis bib pulling out brown compost bins from each house stared at us and shouted "f*****g f*gs" twice at us. We reported it to the police and they took it seriously but I'm not sure it will go anywhere. Just posting here on the off chance that anyone else has experienced something similar in the area.

Thanks!!

Hello! I've just moved to the area and my parking permit has been approved for zone B. If anyone can help that would be great but I'm wondering if I need to present anything in my car window or can I park up in the relevant bays and assume everything is fine? Thanks!

Hello neighbours! My property is not eligible for an on street parking permit and so I'm wondering if anyone has a driveway or space they would like to rent to me? Thanks!
