There's a meeting at St Philip the Apostle's Coombe Road SE26 6QW on Monday 18th November at 6pm. Councillors, police and others plan to attend to answer questions and host a debate about this.

Re: Thames water and the vomiting bug (cholera) in Sydenham

Concerning - Has anyone got news about whether any of these local (to Sydenham) tests have come back positive with signs of pollution and bad bacteria?

It's good to hear Thames Water is testing and I would hope (with their current reputation) that they shout from the rooftops if no evidence of ...

Re: Crystal Palace Park introduces car park charges

Half an hour grace drop off and pickup time period.

CP Park was becoming more and more an outlier in not charging for parking - even Sydenham's own Girton Road Car Park finally succumbed to charges recently (last car park in Lewisham without charges I understand).

I might not like it but it ...

Re: Lewisham's mayoral by-election

@Stuart - I'd like to think your analysis of pro ULEZ/LTN candidates is correct and will follow through to broader elections. However with this being a byelection and the low turnout I think we have to wait and see. But a great motivator.

Re: Business/industrial unit on Newlands Park - what is it?

Just recently some of the MOPAC team (Mayor's Office for Policing And Crime*) have also moved to Newlands Park from their original offices at the old City Hall near Tower Bridge. So not just the police there these days.

That's amazing. Good for non commuters too. Interesting what the ride will be like at the Sydenham points though - and how will they enforce red signals.

It's not good, is it? I'd be even more concerned if I was younger with school age children. But this is a problem for us all that affects us all - not just children. Unfortunately it's not in any one individual's power to solve - though individuals can change behaviours and set examples. They can ...

As always some will think these closures and restrictions to traffic are a good ...

It really is disappointing how the MPS just doesn't want to acknowledge past (and not so past shortcomings). It's a different world now to 10, 20 years ago. "Policing by consent" summarised Peel's principles when establishing the original force as an ethical one. I just hope they change their ...
