inconsiderate
Yep, kept the misses up, I was ill, so was drifting in and out.
What time did they finish?
As to what time consideration kicks in, as theres youngs in the area 9 sounds good to me.
To sum up - pillocks, welcome to the neighbourhood.
sat party
music went off at 445 why are you insulting pillocks. please call 234234 to complain the more that do the better in case there is a next time
20 John Rhodes Way
Don't tell me that other people living nearby did not hear the shouting, singing and swearing that went on at this house last night and into the early hours of this morning.The noise kept us awake until at least 3.0am. This is not the first time that this has happened since these people moved in just a few weeks ago. I am all for welcoming new neighbours but this is no joke!

Personally, I think that we should face this problem head on (and I do not mean in a violent way) I think a few of us should talk to these people and explain that this is generally a nice, quiet street and we are not prepared to put up with this anti-social behaviour. Will anyone else join me in doing this?

All Quiet Over Here
All quiet over this side, windows open slept like a log. Pehaps cause Popeye has upset so many neighbours they have all left LOL
party
My wife was unwell and went into the lounge to try to escape the noise includng foul language but could still hear it and did not get to sleep until well after 4am.
I too think midnight curfew on noise is reasonable. Please ring 234234.
Party Coarse of Action
I think enough people in the area have posted their views regarding the party at No 20, if I was you lot I would;
1, all pop round as a group and ask if there are any future parties planned and if so to take your concerns into account.
2, nominate one person to go and speak to them on all your behalves
If you get no joy from doing the above or if they are rude and tell you to go away then I would recommend reporting them to the council.
Party
Stop whingeing just because we had a good time and can enjoy ourselves. It was a Saturday night so you could all have a lie in. Why didnt you come round and party with us instead of sitting in your hutches moaning. Get a life,
StokieDave...
Goodtime?!
We had a blast to, listening to your jeers.
What world do you live in. You live in a street with families with little kids, in fact they're all around you.
You think they should be kept awake all night with that sort of noise and language.
As to a lie in, how very considerate of you. Try telling that to a baby who sticks to her routine, no matter what.
When you say whinging, do you mean protecting your rights?
Whens the next party?
Goodtimes?
Last time there was a party, it was number 20 that got the abuse from a bunch of rowdy kids! I know that the child who started the party went round most of the houses in the street and offdered her appologies! surley it is only fair that an adult! (thats someone who is supposedly responsable for their own actions!) should be able to stand up and say sorry to the people they upset! I think everyone would agree with me that it was a racket and it should have finished the first time the police came round and the music not turned up in retaliation!
Again as in the other comments, if all people could ring the council to complain it would help the cause!
Welcome to the community you selfish and uncaring people!
On which street was this?
On which street was this? I didn't hear a thing on Saturday night! Apart from the usual cars and barking dogs.
party
some of us do have to work on a sunday and it is no fun when u have only had 3hrs sleep
Party
I would be careful StokiDave.....
Many people seemed to be upset by your social gathering, and I would not be surprised if you found some official action occurring. A little consideration always goes a long way.
I know the council and the police would not think twice about taking action should they have enough complaints, and I am sure you will be very aware, that by just looking through this website, people will not stand back and allow anti-social behaviour occur.
I know we may appear to live in a nammby pammby state, but who really wants an ASBO? They do give them out for all kinds of stuff these days and the authorities love to make examples of people. An unfortunate fact.
I always agree, let people do what they want, but it has to be within reason, otherwise it always ends in tears.
Party
Stokie Dave-If you were one of the guests at the Party, then you contributed to a disgraceful night of noise, abuse and downright ignorance. Let's have an unwritten rule between us all that after Midnight, noise should be kept to an absolute minimum. If people want to be debate this, let's stick it on the Agenda for the next Neighbourhood Watch Meeting which I will gladly attend (for the first time) and make myself known. Dave, would you be prepared to do the same so that we can all discuss this like adults?If this was a one-off, then fair enough but if people think that this can be a regular event, and no-one will object, then they are in for a rude awakening?
Here is the number to call
I assume that this could be used for such occassions......
Stoke's Anti Social Behaviour helpline
People can call a dedicated number 0800 561 5610 at any time for help, advice and to report anti social behaviour. The calls are routed to the city council call centre 'Stoke on Call' which is located at Dewsbury Road, Fenton.
Examples of anti social behaviour are: graffiti, dropping litter, drug and alcohol related nuisance, excessive noise, threatening behaviour, swearing and abusive language.
The helpline is part of the 'Stoke Won't Stand for It Campaign'.

Residents Charter
Regarding the on going debate concerning the party in John Rhodes Way I think that this just one of a number of concerns on this estate and would therefore suggest that the residents of this estate sign up to a residents charter that will uphold the rights and dignity of every household on the estate. This charter would set out clear principles and recommendations allowing us all to live in relative harmony rather than becoming an estate that has a reputation for poor social behavior.
Some key points could be
1, Parties and social gatherings should limit noise to an absolute minimum after 1am.
2, Parking of vehicles on the pavement to be kept to a minimum if you have a drive you should use it. If you own more than one car and park it in the street have consideration for pedestrians, emergency services or delivery vehicle calling on the estate.
3, If you own a dog and walk it around the estate or on the open space you will clean up after it.
4, Driving on and off the estate to be kept at 20mph.
5, No mowing the lawn before 9am.
6, No fire works to let off on the estate after midnight unless it is New Years Eve extended to 1am.
If we all put our heads together and came up with a set of sensible and practical suggestion and all abided by them there would be no need for anyone to be reported to the authorities and have ASBO’s issued, we could all live on this estate with relative peace and calm.

Residents Charter
I would agree that the idea of a Residents Charter would be a positive step forward. Recent events have also brought home to me the importance of the Neighbourhoow Watch Group and I now have every respect for the people (I have contributed nothing) who dedicate their time to improve and maintain the safe, peaceful environment that we surely all desire.I would volunteer to assist in the formation and activities of the Charter if it is agreed that this is the right thing to do.
rubbish
what a load of rubbish i heard it all now. ive been on this estate since my house was built and there as never been a need from a set of rules to live hear i will not be signing anything. i think you need to get a life.
WOW
I've only been gone a few days, but it was certaily worth looking back to see what's been going on!!
My own views: I live on JRW, and did hear the noise. Fortunately, I live far enough away that once in bed, I could no longer hear anything. But if it was next door, I wouldnt have been very impressed.
It is wrong to assume that everyone gets a lie in on Sunday- personally, I work 7 days a week, and am on call every night too. IN fact, I had been up til 1am doing a caesarean the night before the party (that probably helped me sleep through it too!)
But do we need a charter? I dont know. Are we likely to succeed in getting one that everyone agrees to? Call me a cynic, but I doubt it.
Could the house in question have done anything differently- maybe a courtesy call to the 2/3 houses either side to let them know they were going to have a party would have been useful, and prevented this fuss.
As we were taught at vet school: 6P's- proper planning and preparation prevents poor performance. Plan the party properly, and complaints would have been minimal.
I'll put my soap box away now!
Goodnight.
GET A LIFE
Dear Guest

I am sick and tired of people using this web site anonymously and being rude, just to let you know I HAVE GOT A LIFE like most self respecting people on this web site and estate. I only put forward the idea of a charter as an idea, a thought of discussion. I for one do not want to see this estate tarnished with a reputation of residents running to the authorities reporting one another over every little domestic whim that may arise. An estate with a bad reputation could have dia consequences when comes to selling property or attracting knew investment for the good of the estate. Like most people on this estate I enjoy living here compared to other parts of the city , I am grateful that some one has taken the time to set up this web site for residents to express their views and ideas but I am sadden that people like yourself need to come on this web site anonymously and abuse it. Perhaps if you took the time to introduce yourself to me and have a meaningful discussion you will see that I have got a life one that is quite happy, pleasant and fulfilling.
party
why have we all started to fall out with each other and put remarks on that would we would not have put on if the party had not gone on untill 4 45
I think its time to put a
I think its time to put a line under this for now as its obvious that people will not agree on any action. I can only ask that if the problem returns as many as possible phone the council as they can take action immediately. The number is 234234 and is available 24/7
Cease fire
Cease Fire is now called on this fourum. Also a polite reminder that this is a family site and bad language is not permisable even if misplelt or covered by ###.
Many Thanks Steve
Swearing?
What bl#### swearing?
Common Sense
I think all of us would agree that we need to respect the people around us. All you need to do is think "would I want my neighbour to do this???" if the answer is "NO" then you have already answered the question "Is this a good idea" as it is the same answer "NO". We can all have parties etc... But we need to think of others when doing so.
Anyway I will also get off my soapbox. I would however have to say that a resident’s charter is going a little too far. Common sense must surely prevail, this resident made a mistake, we all do from time to time, lets just learn from this mistake and get on with life.
100% Agree
I agree with you 100% that’s all it takes a little common sense I only suggested the residents charter as an idea a platform for discussion. an opportunity for members of the estate to voice there concerns and fears. A lot of the suggestions centred on people phoning the Police and the council to complain, I think that this should be the last course of action we should try to sort out any problems in house before resorting to this. The last thing I want to see is this estate tarnished with a bad reputation just because its residents are at odds with one another over simple domestic issues. I apologise to any resident that may have been upset by this idea, but it was only a suggestion a forum for discussion and I do not think it warranted comments like go get a life, which was suggested by one particular resident.Great post lets see more
thank you all for your
thank you all for your comments on this subject. i for one hope that common sence is used however i will not again lie in bed beeing subject to the noise and foul language again. there will be no more in house discussion it will be directly to the council while it is going on
swearing
Sorry WM- I was the guilty party here. There were 7 P's, but after being reprimanded, I edited my post to 6! Apologies.
But on a good note, we have an open day at the practice this sunday. I know I've had them before, but no-one from bankeyfields has been to one of them yet, even though there are several residents who are clients! So, please humour me, and come see what all the fuss (I create) is about!
Oh, free homemade cakes etc on offer too.
This sunday, 12-4pm. Postcode CW12 4NB- just 8 miles from here!
