antisocial behaviour on whateley road

[edcitizen]

On Tuesday evening I saw something very unpleasant outside of a residence on Whateley Road. I saw a man shouting every expletive and yelling very racial things to a young couple. I think it was a man who lives next to this couple who was being very verbally abusive telling them to **** off and go back where they came from. (this is an extremely edited version of what he was saying) It was horrible to hear someone saying such things to another person.

As much as I would like to reveal the address where I saw this horrible behaviour, so everyone could knock on this person's door and tell him what an awful man he is and how Dulwich does not need people like him. Instead, I encourage anyone who saw or most likely heard this person shouting to speak to the police about it as I have.

Good on you edcitizen. There is no room for this sort of behaviour in ED or anywhere else!

You could also involve the Anti Social Behaviour Unit for Southwark (SASBU) on 0207 525 5777/ environment@southwark.gov.uk

If the Police have been involved then please JUST use them. Else parts of evidence get give to different bodies but the whole picture doesn't ncessarily come together.

Dear Edcitizen (what's that? Ed!)

It is obviously me that you are referring to. The forum is a great place to ease away the hours of boredom and in doing so peddle tittle tattle. However it does not give you the platform to publish untruths into the public domain. If you had wanted to know the unobserved facts you should have approached me personally.

I have suffered verbal abuse from the residents upstairs for nigh on three years. I am unable to listen to the radio in the morning before going to work without someone slamming their foot on my ceiling. The last time I played music in my front room was about six months ago. I daredn't light a barbecue for fear of complaint and subsequent verbal abuse.

The incident that you refer to was triggered by myself and my wife having an animated debate about assessment policy in Primary education (yes we are both teachers!!). This was met by the usual crushing of the floorboards and a knock at the door! On opening I was threatened, both verbally and physically..."Come on then I'll take you on"....and also to be told by the neighbour how much money I owed John Lewis and what my current bank balance was!! I am sure if your neighbour was opening your mail you would feel aggrieved!! Are you aware that it is illegal to open mail not addressed to your name.

Telling someone to 'F... Off back to Mersyside' is not rascist but regionalist. I bet you have never been guilty of that!!

Please be careful about what you say and how you choose to publish it. There are always two sides to every story...and and an awful lot in between. Think on!!

Haha, someone answers back for once on this forum. There are always two sides to every story.

jeremyclutson: well done for putting your side of the story across. I read the OP's comments and built a picture in my head of a abusive racist screaming at his innocent neighbours for no reason but after reading your side of the story I can understand why you got so angry. Often with old conversions they didn't soundproof properly, now there are regulations whereby it is not permitted to have exposed floorboards or laminate flooring for a first floor flat.

Sorry, I'm from Nunhead. I'm beneath you all.

Majority of East Dulwich flats are conversions and most were undertaken with zero noise insulation added between floors. I've lived in such a flat and terrible to discover zero privacy with/from neighbours.

It is possible to add sound proofing but it does take cooperation.

When I did this - I was the top flat - I lifted every third floorboard and placed sound insulation. Took about 60 hours, ?2,000 and a lot of disruption.

The alternative is huge resentment.

If your neighbours have been opening your post you should call the police.

as with so much on here, who knows what's true? - could be none of it, could be some of it. i don't know anyone involved so i've no reason to believe anyone in particular (or anyone at all)

[Manda]

Anyone suffering from a noise disturbance and being ignored or fobbed off by Southwark Council (as have I!) do get in touch with these people.

Southwark Council misquoted The Housing Act to us for three years, we've now been told we can take them to court as well as the noise offenders.

This is a huge problem, as anyone suffering knows full well.

Sorry to hear, what you have been through I had similar experience like this it can be so frustrating but I can see you have some great info to follow up through this thread.

We have a saying (a good story is told till the other is herd)
