Re: Overground to London Bridge?
I suppose anything is an improvement but it is, to me, a second/third class solution. 1. The comfort/capacity of those beautiful 8/10 car Electostars against the 5 car Overground. 2. The inability to connect to Southern's hub at East Croydon for disabled people or safely for those with heavy luggage...

Re: Bell Green Transport Survey online now.
Beautiful Bell Green. That's a first here I think
Yes I've enjoyed other @archoptical drone footage. I had assumed that as it was on your website it was yours and ok to use. Is it OK with @archoptical to use it to promote your Forum?

Re: Bell Green Transport Survey online now.
Put it on Mastodon for you: https://social.brainsys.com/@se26/111243923906884838 and I've completed it. Fascinating aerial shot of the eastend of the gyratory where it intersects with Southend Lane, Kangley Bridge Road and the Sainsbury feeder road. Took a bit of time to identify that. Trust I got i...

Re: Consultation on Proposal to Close Silverdale/Bishopsthorpe Road to traffic
Looks like the signage is going up today, a camera has appeared on the Silverdale side recently as well. For those who have yet to pass by. One change is motorcycles are also now prohibited. But then Lewisham is having a bit of a war on the motorcyclist atm. https://social.brainsys.com/system/media...

Re: Broken window theory
Hi b_s - I've invested in a £2.99 picker-upper from the Sydenham Road Bargain Shop. Doesn't look too robust but it helped me do our street today. Thanks for inspiring me. Maybe the Sydenham Assembly should give a proper one plus Lewisham bags to folks who will do their street once a week. So another...

Opoids, Sacklers & Sydenham
"In a broad, tree-lined road in the southeast London suburb of Sydenham stand the sprawling buildings and grounds of St Christopher’s Hospice." So begins the story of how Sydenham hero Cicely Saunders helped begin the development of the opoids to help her terminal patients. How the Sackler...

Re: Broken window theory
Hi b_s - I've long admired your tireless work around Bell Green. We have a great volunteer who does our streets regulary. But the rubbish soon returns. I guess we need to help more.
Are those blue bags Lewisham issue? And how efficient are they at collecting them?

Re: RIP
I have found a lot useful information in this forum but agree with the response regarding aggressive comments. I often don’t post or reply due to the almost inevitable paranoid diatribe that follows from a small minority. I really enjoy living in the area in general though so would be good to see m...

Re: Sydenham's "burgeoning" high street?
Pure estate agent speak. I remember the notorious brochure for a house in Lawrie Park aka Dulwich Borders with lovely pictures of local shopping - in Dulwich Village rather than Penge.
Hamptons, i think, we're guilty of that one.

From Mastodon Guerrilla Gardeners (aka Just Stop Weeds) this weekend attacked the Kirkdale Roundabout. Suella Braverman appeals to the police to crack down on trowel carrying terrorists.

A tweet from Lewisham West & Penge in Europe (@PengeWest) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our founder and former chair Tim Lund on June 19th. An indefatigable campaigner and supporter of the pro-Europe campaign movement, Tim was also very involved in local issues and his...
