► Hampton, 29 Jan: Groups shouting in street

(18056) People shouting on Hampton Road near the petrol station at 3-30am, 29 January 2019. Roughly half-a-dozen people involved. I suspect they were the students who left Ashgrove Road (see previous incident, 18055) a few minutes earlier. They had divided into two groups. The first, near the petrol station, was making noise that I could hear clearly from 150m distance. The second, consisting of two people, was lagging about 50m behind, nearer to Hampton Park. They were shout

► Cranbrook, 27 Jan: '4am phone call to police'

(18054) Loud, late student party at house on west side of Cranbrook Road, between Kersteman and Carnarvon Roads, in early hours of 27 January 2019. A resident has complained to the University of Bristol: "Students at the above address had a party tonight that ended with me having to phone the police at 4am. The students informed us of the party and said they would turn the music down and go inside at 12am. Which we thought was reasonable and told them so. However, this was no

► Chandos, 18 Jan: 'Woken by street noise'

(18053) Street noise by unidentified groups, early hours of 18 Jan. A resident in Collingwood Road reports: "For the noise log, we were woken up twice last night at 1.30am and 2.30am ... both groups of people making noise on Chandos Road." Comment: This incident report may lack detail, but that's often the case with street noise—we often don't know who's doing it, nor whether they are students. I'm nevertheless keen to receive more reports, just so we have a better idea of ho

Party complaints fall, noise rises, Redland stays top in UoB figures

Complaints about student parties fell by 41% in the first term of the 2018-19 academic year, according to statistics compiled by the University of Bristol. Residents cited 35 parties across the districts close to the university, down from 59 in the same period a year earlier. However, complaints about general noise rose 31%, offsetting much of the reduction (chart). One group of students seems to play an outsize role in the complaints figures, according to a deeper analysis b
