Yeah, I might be out of the loop regarding anything recent?
The lights were turned off back along because the box was tampered with and it became a safety hazard (risk of electrocution)? All power to the site was cut until Kev helped orchestrate having everything re-instated. When the lights were tampered with, they did stay on all night for a few nights, this was when someone was sent to inspect it and found it to be completely unsafe (tampered with).
Noise has been a small issue in the past, again I might be missing something? The only thing I know about was a residents group complaining that the park was loud in the evenings (Southwark pointed out the park has the usual restrictions that are borough-wide and that any generic park noise is part of living in the surrounding area). Obviously we should still try to keep the noise down though...
Fair enough if people think we're over-using it, but I don't think we are. If it became a real problem, we would ask Southwark to step in and give us certain days (possibly for a small fee), or to find us some more courts within their borough that we can use, we should only play less polo as a last resort!
