Lucymerc, I think you may have noticed the noise from the City airport planes as we had easterly winds for about a week or so last week. The City airport flights are low - about 1500 feet and pretty loud as a result.


The majority of the time we get the Heathrow planes which are much bigger and louder planes but higher in the sky - around 4000 feet. Despite the height, because they're generally bigger planes, the noise travels much further and impacts a wider area. There are also more of them - flying from around 4.30am until 11pm at night.


It is incredibly frustrating that we are on a flight path whichever way the wind is blowing so get no respite from noise. There appears to be no joined up thinking/ consideration of this by the powers that be.


If you find the plane noise impacts you negatively, please reply to the Government's consultation on the 3rd runway at Heathrow (which will obviously increase the number of planes and therefore noise). See my previous post for details. It runs out on 25 May.

I agree. Can you say where you were and where you moved to?

Moved from solomons passage peckham rye park to surrey road a bit south. Think the acoustics in our old shared courtyard made it even worse. Sometimes woken at 4.30 a.m. and impossible to get back to sleep. Thay was with double glazing. Now in drafty single glazed victorian house and no problem.

Well this only indicates that there isn't a general problem.

'Well this only indicates that there isn't a general problem.' And? this doesn't mean it isn't a problem.

Ooh you're prickly! Please share your rigorously researched survey of 'most people'.


Your surmising about what you believe I might suggest says a lot ... about you.



Calm down ... Peace, love, zen, its friday and all that.

Actually it was Wednesday when I posted :-) I can't say it's a rigorously researched survey but having lived in the area for 22 years, the only times I've ever come across anyone moaning about aircraft noise in ED is a handful of people on here.


I wasn't being prickly by the way, just amused. I think you've got a little bit of projection going on there hpsaucey, which makes sense, given your "sensitivity" to sounds.

I've lived around here for 12 years. The aircraft noise has sucked the entire time. I can't sleep with my windows open unless I actually want to be awake at 4.30am. I live near a busy road with buses and the aircraft noise is much worse - it's pretty much constant with barely any silence between the flights.


Particularly galling are the rare occasions when planes are landing over East Dulwich into both Heathrow and City (yes this does happen when there has been an easterly that has lapsed into no wind; I've spoken with NATS about it).


[edit - reading and commenting in posts like these makes me feel slightly better about it - a problem shared is a problem doubled and all that ...]

Well, I'm glad you're trying to project amused but prickly. That's good anyway.


No person can judge another person's 'sensitivity' to sound objectively - that would be 'projection' wouldn't it? That is partly the point when you say there isn't a 'general problem' - projection.


And thank fudge I've gained a day and its actually Thursday. I blame the red wine intake.

      Nursery school

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
