Well first the Tories have to win the General Election and then wait 5 years for Boris to become party leader

and the Tories win the election in 2020 ??


And any way it would probably take 10 - 15 years to build if it ever went ahead.

... and Boris would have more important things to worry about. Like who to have a War with. ??


All Prime Ministers have to have Their own war.

here it is - Nov 2014 Dulwich Society e-newsletter


Dulwich Society eNews No. 13 ?November 2014

London City Airport and proposed controversial flight path changes: The London Assembly has

called on London City Airport to re-consult on its plans to concentrate its flight paths. The LCA is

planning to concentrate its flights paths in and out of the airport but has refused to leaflet or hold

public meetings in the areas affected, it has simply put technical information on its website. Dulwich

is amongst the areas that will be affected by the likely increase in flight frequency and consequent noise.

As Per Other Aircraft NOISE threads on this forum.



The Aircraft over ED DV and WD has increased as Heathrow have narrowed the flight path which was previously over the Thames and Canary Warf Bermondsey etc IE further North.

As the flight path has narrowed and moved south WE are now DIRECTLY under the Heathrow flight path and aircraft start to fly over from 5.30 am.


There was a public meeting in Brockley with Heathrow representatives which confirmed a huge increase in complaints since the changes were implemented.


Having lived in the area all my life and having sat in the same garden all my life I can confirm prior to 2011 there were NO low flying aircraft over ED.


Further there have been changes to Jet engines which makes the current design prone to a high pitched whistle in certain atmospheric conditions which will drive the noise downward as the slow and it?s at a level which can become noticeable to some people more than others. Double glazing makes little difference as the pitch isn?t contained through DG and Glass.



Those who don?t hear the aircraft are often buffered by the position of buildings and the sound doesn?t reflect others may find the noise is increased due to the same factors living at the rear of a building for example.


There is no solution I have tried ear plugs of every type but after 4 hours they become painful and I wake up anyway noise machines which produce white noise don?t work as the jet frequency isn?t masked.


I have become used to the noise to some degree and accept there is little I can do but there are mornings where the combination of atmospheric conditions and intense concentration of flights and the time between them becomes unbearable so I get up and go for a run.



The upside is I am now fitter than at any point in my life but I must get to bed pretty early as I wake up at 5.30 6.00 am almost every day.




Meditation is worth a try, it has also helped me.



We live in an insane world where having a problem OTHERS don?t have or notice, is a problem ? for them ? bizarre !

Well put fazer.


Quite why people who don't find it an issue need to join the thread and chastise those who it does effect, I don't know.


It's a significant problem in the way in can affect people day to day, and as someone who's been in East Dulwich for 10 years plus, it's most definitely worsened.

I agree.


It was an absolute pleasure to watch it. What a beautiful shape.

People just enjoyed winding you up because you were rude and called people morons for asking innocent questions, so they responded in kind. It was mildly ammusing.

Indeed. And complaining about aircraft noise in London is like complaining about the sea being wet.

The OP wasn't "complaining about aircraft noise in London".


S/he was asking whether there had been a change in flight paths.


And in any case, whilst nothing can be done about the sea being wet, there are various ways in which aircraft noise in London could potentially be reduced.


I can't undertand why some people on here get so upset when the subject of aircraft noise is raised. If you don't want to discuss it, or think other people shouldn't be discussing it, why do you bother clicking on the thread in the first place?

Otta making noise and adding nothing of value quality or interest to this thread.


Troll would be an accurate description of your inane posting, but I thought moron would be kinder a less inflammatory.


Keep taking the hemorrhoid suppositories with your bed time coco they will eventually fix you. ;)

      The newly landscaped Dulwich Square

      By tiddles · Posted

      I had no idea about the sourcing of the paving stones - where is the info on this? The extension of the paved area seems completely unjustified- plus, there is a cycle lane right thru the middle so there are bound to be some near misses with pedestrians.

      That's really awful. There must be someone further up the management chain who could be made aware of this?

      To the thief

      By Sue · Posted

      I'm assuming that anybody who has a cat can afford  its food, litter, vets' fees etc. Nobody was saying that two quid is "nothing", but it's cheaper than some brands of cat litter, so was hopefully useful to the OP. Still, hopefully your post made you feel better 👍 🤣 We still don't know why there was a bag of cat litter at the bus stop! Surely it would be rather difficult to take it away unnoticed if the owner of the cat litter was  also at the bus stop? It's not like someone distracted your attention and picked your pocket and you didn't notice till some time later! But what is also confusing me is, if the OP knows where the thief lives, why don't they go and ask for their cat litter back?

      The market is only there for a few hours on Saturdays! Surely all street markets are "a bit tatty"! That seems a strange reason to close a road permanently to traffic!  There is already at least one seat  in North Cross Road (which seems to be quite well used),  apart from those for customers of The Palmerston,  and several of the shops in the road have greenery outside
