Anyone living around Coldharbour Lane/Barrington Rd area being kept awake by bloody sawing noises?
Last night, and night before last I haven't had a wink of sleep because of it. Sounds like sawing down trees. ALL BLOODY NIGHT.
If I could find out where it's coming from I'd complain. Pissing me right off. :mad::mad:

Someone has applied for planning permission to remove a chestnut tree (this was advertised by Lambeth planning on the railings). Could it be this - as a DIY job?

I live 16 houses from Barrington Road towards Loughborough J on the railway side. Noticed an apparent increase in heavy goods trains about 5 am lately - but no sawing at all.

It could well be. It definitely sounds like tree sawing. If it's just one tree it should be over soon. Bloody hope do. It's horrendous.
Why do it in the middle of the night though. Crazy.

Whoever owns that flat (I'm not sayin!) is not popular with their neighbours. They used to let off fireworks in the wee hours at the weekends, when it was broad daylight.

I think they're renting the place out now instead of living in it. Lucrative

Courtenay House is what I was referring to. Really nice, but I wouldn't call it luxury.

Are you near the train line? It could be Network Rail doing tree works if so.
 
Network rail have been clearing along the lineside for the past couple of nights. Almost certainly that. They do it at night because it would be massively disruptive to close the line during the day.

I've had a good look out of my back staircase window - you can see rear of 288 - 320 CHL from there.

All buddleia at track level is hale and hearty, definitely not been cropped.
The chestnut rear of 306 appears to be pollarded (if that's the right word) but not recently, so my guess is work has not started there.

There's a much bigger tree further towards Barrington Road (rear of 316?) - but no sign of work.

If you are located between 288 & 320 Coldharbour my suggestion is you have an overzealous car repairer in an arch behind you who has decided to work at night. Also the windows to the arches there might be damaged or opened.

I had this problem about ten years ago but fortunately the guy in question moved on.

There are at least ten arches in there managed by a company called Indexglen Ltd who have ultimate control over the tenants.

They've chopped up and removed the tree that they knocked over into the Railway's beer garden too.

Would have thought it's probably coming from the arches - they're often working late at night on cars in there.

Herne Hill, but what about Sesami? The tables at the back? Their pastries (Borek and spinachy things) and bowls of granola, fresh fruit and yogurt are really cheap, so I don't imagine they ramp up the coffee prices too much. Tables might be a it small, I can't remember, I tend to pop in there in the summer if I have been early to the Lido.

I recently discovered their borek, and daily soup special. Great lunch.

Try Parissi just up from Kaff if you're looking for a new place, the tables are big so you can spread out a bit. Nice friendly owner, and soon-to-be taking the B£ too ;-)

Delicorner up Brixton Hill is always busy with freelancers whenever I've been there, very affable owners too.
 
The age of protest isn't over.

I can't take all the credit for this, that would be wrong, but i helped them see over the hill.

Does anyone know what is happening outside Kings? We got a cab which avoided Coldharbour lane as the Kings end was closed and went up BW lane. Denmark Hill end was closed off by police as well with a sign saying crime something. Ambulances weren't coming in but were walking and wheeling people to the door. I wonder what's going on?

I think they were to close the road down for some crane works, but I didn't think that would involve police.

Don't go to kings at night when this is going on. I left at 3am with my still sick daughter and was told by the security guard (in his bullet proof vest) that the cab I had booked would be outside the golden jubilee wing. We had to leave the building and walk down the internal hospital road which was very dark and wait on our own in the cold and dark for 30 mins for the cab. There was no security staff there it was awful.

That's terrible. I'd think you're safe enough round there at night, but with a sick child you'll be feeling vulnerable anyway, that doesn't help.
