Sydenham Town Forum

Hi Thanks for all your replies and help, I contacted envirocall on the 14/04, after intially asking what i wanted them to do about it?(!!), and me explaining they said they would get on to it. I've heard and seen nothing apart from more rats. I also forwarded my complaint to Cllr Phillip Peake and o...

Why is the first train late in the first place??

I lurk on it.

It is really, really funny.

I live next to an empty property that is infested with rats. I informed the council on the 14th of April. Nothing has been done about this problem and their numbers are increasing. I've read that rats can spread wells disease, which can be fatal and chew threw buildings causing immense structural da...

I really don't like the mural idea, awful. They are so dated and as Sydenham is hosting it's first art festival i'm sure our local artists, schools, community groups and leenewham could come up with a better idea to spruce the naborhood and surronding areas up. It's scandalous that £50,000 is being ...

Last night was the opening night of 'the bigger picture' on Church Road in crystal palace. www.thebiggerpicture. It was a total success and makes use of an empty shop, in this case using an empty shop as an art gallery for local artists. It will be open for the next 6 weeks and houses some fantastic...

Ermmm, I also cycle, daily to town. I have a confession, last week I may have ran a red light in forest hill just as a group of people with learning difficulties where crossing. I widely missed them but the carer with them shouted at me that there was a red light. I am so so sorry ( if you are readi...

I noticed an advert for professional steam cleaning service (someone does it for you) Inside the laudrette next to the chippy on Kirkdale. Seemed quite reasonable,price wise.

I've recently used Rob Austin of Battersea surveyor Ltd and would recomend him. Reasonably priced and efficient.

I think the shop next to perfucare is applying for licensing for a 24 hour taxi office.
There's an application on Lewisham planning website.

Rubbish picked up every day???! Wow. Every Tuesday where i am. I live in a flat above a shop, have a normal big bin and after having several recycling boxes nicked i finally got a big green bin, which was..nicked. Now I use the neighbour around the corners recycling bin. Hope they don't mind, althou...

I was soo scared of the dentist when i was a kid i was banned after too many squirmishes with him.
However now i would go as far to say i like the dentist next to forest hill station, patient and calming!!

Your not really serious are you???

Intent to do what?

Hi, i have looked at the minutes from this meeting, discussion took place on how Lewisham approached this problem compared with other councils , or thats my impression from the lengthy minutes! Has any progress been made further on what is going to be done with the properties we where asked to ident...

Nasaroc wrote 'deterring people from street drinking and drug taking is right. Right for those individuals, right for our local area, right for businesses and right for our community.

Thank you both for your comments and the information. I still feel the survey offers a Bias, by asking questions of a group of people's violent behaviour supposes and infers this has been problematic in the past. If the same questions where asked on a survey of other marginalised groups, this could ...

I had friends come down for the 2nd time, (yearly trip) for 24hrs ( god love GNER £20 from Leeds), so i can understand the pressure of showing people around. The first time, last year , We walked around Soho, berwick market, then covent garden, they loved that as a band struck up as we arrived, a re...
