Sydenham Town Forum

Didn't realise that Mr Brooks was a current rep for Sydenham and representing the interests of those of us living in Sydenham.

Perhaps you should remember how well this has been dealt with by our currnt representatives come Thursday. Seems that last night is a timely reminder of how our council can't or won't deal with this to the satisfaction of those affected.

As a pedestrian I really don't care about cyclist except when I have to avoid them as I walk down the pavement. Cyclists don't pay any taxes for using the roads and think they own the pavements as well. They should be taxed in the same way as motorists. Why should I as a council tax payer provide ...

Been to the real Sydenham Blues club tonight, the one in Sydenham not Crystal Palace, and saw the wonderful Frank Ashe. If you left come back you wont be disappointed.

Excellent have added to Favourites.

Well worth a visit, if not sure if you would like their music check them out on MySpace and have a listen. I think that you will like what you hear.

Television decided that it had enough of the poor Christmas and New Year programmes and gave up the ghost on New Years Eve. It would be a shame to have to get rid of it without trying to have it repaired but don't know of anyone/where it can be fixed - ideas and suggestions welcome.

Don't bother going to Sydenham Station and ask them to include the discount on your Oyster because they can't/won't be able to do it. This came as no surprise as I have found the staff at Sydenham most unhelpful since London Overground has taken over running it, especiallty those who were not at the ...

Global thinker thanks for the feedback from the meeting. It will be interesting to see if Hyde will actually look at this forum and perhaps they could log on in the same way British gas does to keep us informed of the roadworks. Were there many residents from Fairlawn Park at the meeting and did you ...

How interesting yesterday I posted a negative comment about the yobs in Fairlawn Park and was met with the metaphorical raised eyebrows of hear we go again. And today it’s a different story, with not many people advocating hugging a hoodie, in fact more and more people are prepared to share their e ...

Oh Dear I appear to have touched a nerve, for the record I wasn't accusing you of being a liberal or a Gaurdian reader my comments were more a reflection on how my own strong liberal views have become jaded as I become more dispairing of how bad things have become. Yes I didn't ask to be born but I ...

Yes a 15 year old youth. He was stabbed twice in the abdomin and also in the back after being chased by up 4 other youths who it is understood are not from the area and arrived in a red car. I have been told that he was operated on last night to stop the bleeding and is likely to be in hopsital for ...

The thread starts with a stabbing, and I know the youth who was stabbed, and ends with a link to an adoption site having passed through several posts on how we should feel responsible for these poor troubled kids. Well I am afraid that I do not feel that I should be held responsible for the ills of ...

Shell1 you ought to do what we did when we had bad meal at the Dolphin and unhappy with the way our complaint was handled just stop using the place.

Can anyone recommend a good dentist, either private or NHS, in the Sydenham area. I have until recently used ADP but have become increasingly unhappy with the quality of the treatment I was getting.

Jessie I agree with everything you have said and it is about time we reclaimed the streets from these ferol youths who have no respect for anything or anyone. My first thought would be to meet outside numbers ** and ** FP and do as was suggested by others and discuss these problems with the ...

My son and his girlfriend were verdally abused and threatened. We have been touch with Hyde who said that they were aware of some problems in the street but not the extent. The person we spoke to said that it would be helpful if residents were to report all incidents such as you describe to them ...

Afraid I found out to late to attend the last meeting but hope to attend one in the near futue. Tell me what role are Hyde Housing taking in trying to resolve the anti social behaviour of some of their residents. I ask because there was an incident yesterday and i am planning to write to them as ...
