Coat and badge rave

At 22:42 on a Sunday there is a nightclub atmosphere coming from the coat and badge. Is anyone else annoyed and how is this allowed? I have tweeted Justine and them to turn it down. It’s actually ridiculous. I live in an apartment across the street and it’s like I am in the pub. This surely is not allowed.

Try ringing the Council, emergencies line and report the level of noise.

Now imagine 700 people on top of The Exchange. Hell.

Jason: Are they usually noisy? Probably celebrating the Boat Race. The Noise line are usually very helpful, did you ring them?

Their licensing hours are until 10.30 on a Sunday.To be fair the boat race is only once a year to over-run, but this does highlight the issue of Pubs in residential areas having to be very aware of the local residents views.Interested how they or Justine respond?One of my fave Putney pubs for years so hopefully a one off occurrence and things can go back to normal.As Barbara points out above though occasional noise from a  pre existing nearby pub maybe something one can live with, 5 nights a week of 700 people with music on the top of the exchange makes one (as a local) shudder!

Yes it was because of the boat race. It’s normally very quiet on a Sunday. I have brought this into light because of the palmhouse. It’s not just while they are open that it’s noisy. It’s the drunk people in the street arguing after getting kicked out. This is a link to a tweet I sent to Justine about the noise. The video is out of my kitchen window. https://twitter.com/jaseyacey24/status/1115005202074091520?s=21

Jason - I'd send  your video to your local councillor and to all Planning Committee Councillors (look them up on Wandsworth Council web page) with reference to the Pergola Planning application. This illustrates what you may expect if the permission is granted. What time did the  'rave' end? (and if it only happens once a year on Boat race Night it could be forgiven?)

Somewhere outside Putney people are still kept awake by bombs, mortar and gunfire.Buy some earplugs and get some perspective.

“Somewhere outside Putney people are still kept awake by bombs, mortar and gunfire.Buy some earplugs and get some perspective.”What a ridiculous argument!  So you’re saying assuming something is worse elsewhere you should accept what you get?  Did you listen to the video?  There will be people including children trying to get to sleep on a Sunday night, unable to do so.  Sure just one night and it will pass, but no need to sneer at people raising concerns on local issues.How dare they try to sleep you say due to someone somewhere else not sleeping!Maybe people in London being threatened by knives should get over it?  After all other people elsewhere are being threatened by guns.Maybe people who find they’ve been burgled shouldn’t complain to the police, or about the lack of police, but should get over it, after all other people living elsewhere have had their home destroyed by bombs, or have no home.Maybe people with all sorts of difficulties shouldn’t mention or raise them as there are always worse.Not to say that there are not always horrible things going on on this planet but why be condescending to someone raising a local issue on a forum for these very issues?  Why not just not read.....

Mike, totally agreed!The volume in that video was horrific!

Ivonne Holliday ● 2774d

Mike perhaps we shouldn't moan about our vehicles as other countries haven't any because they have all been bombed. Perhaps we should all move to the country no fumes, less theft, hardly any stabbings. Perhaps,Perhaps,. But we do live here and forum members come on here to have a moan.
