Re: Zebra Crossing on the Bridge by Sydenham Station

Almost been mown down twice there and also almost done the mowing there too! It is awful. I think there are a few previous links on this bemoaning the same issue.

Re: ESTATE AGENT SIGNS IN THE HIGH STREET

Walked up high street earlier today and lost count of the amount of boards up above shops. It looks awful. I thought things were going to change? A previous post said Cllr Best was looking into this but looks to me like there are more boards than ever. It would be good to find out what plans, if any...

Re: Woodman Public House: Planning Application change of use

The Sydenham Society is objecting to a business that has invested money buying the site for commercial use, and I would expect their shop to be as fluffy and flowery as their property write ups so would think this will be an attractive addition to the corner. Would they prefer an empty shop like so ...

Re: How do you Sydenhammers enjoy yourself

I can't necessarily disagree with that last comment from dickp as I may often head either way but his comment is a bit demeaning to the area. It would have read nicer if it had read -much as I would love to splash my money in Sydenham I find I have to go to.......Beckenham or Crystal Palace to servi...

Re: Managing the Met Police

I have just been out at in Bromley at the large tapas restaurant and witnessed very rowdy drunken behavior from the Wetherspoons pub next door which is a disco pub serving cheap booze leading to inevitable fighting. We watched from a distance as the bouncers appeared and moved one lad to the side as...

Two succinct replies that have certainly made me think about my previous comment and pleased I did sign the petition.

Re: SAVE SYDENHAM LIBRARY

I have lived off the high street for 12 years and never used this library. I used Forest Hill library once 10 years ago. I have used Beckenham library twice last year but that is it. I recently signed a save Sydenham Library petition but only because it seemed the right thing to do. I actually don't...
