Re: Sticky: NEW! Events calendar
Sorry for the old log in - I am no longer a councillor but was registered on here as such. I will try to join as an individual or as Chair of Penge Forum. However, residents of Penge and Sydenham share an interest in the future of Crystal Palace Park so members here might be interested in a Penge ...

Re: Sydenham Farmer's Market...??
I'd be SO into this if you can make it happen!! You should do some research into what ever happened to the Penge farmers market. I loved that until it disappeared without a trace... Penge Farmers' market worked well in Maple Road for several months. However, these Farmers Markets are not just an ad ...

Re: Crystal Palace Park
The "plan" is that after the Olympics, Crystal Palace Sports Hall and Stadium become regional facilities (rather than national) under the LDA's responsibility. The Sports Hall becomes dry and a new swimming pool is built alongside a restructured stadium. A lot can happen between now and then though ...

Re: Crystal Palace Park
The LDA have pulled out of the park but my understanding is that they still have the lease on the Sports Hall and Stadium. Still doesn't mean the conversion will happen but I don't think that part of it is down to Bromley council tax payers.

Re: Sydenham article in The Times today
CORRECTION- apparently Cator Road is in Sydenham, even though it's officially in LB Bromley. Cator Road is indeed in SE26 as far as the Post Office is concerned. However, as it is in the Bromley Ward of Penge & Cator we have now officially annexed it to Penge! Regards, Cllr John Getgood Penge ...

Re: Similar messageboard for Penge?
Anything that helps people from Penge talk to each other is to be welcomed. The Virtual Norwood blog site covers the Penge area and I make frequent contributions. The focus is much more on the area around Crystal Palace though. I tend not to initiate discussions there, leaving it to members to raise ...

Sorry John, respect your posts, but too much of a " sorry your shop closed, come here instead" vibe. Glib is bad... A bit condescending.... Sorry if you read it that way. We always used Mr Sargent as it was nearer to where we live. But if the shop is gone, the information about Murray's might be ...

We used it regularly - it reminded me of real butchers shops for my childhood. Also liked his pork pies. Slow shopping but quality. It will be missed. You can still find a quality butcher at Murray Brothers on Penge High Street. Cllr John Getgood Penge & Cator. http://www.pengeandcatorcouncillors.co ...

We had a similar problem in Penge High Street, The police successfully applied for it to be made a no-alcohol zone. That gives them the power to move on or arrest anyone seen drinking alcohol in the prescribed area. Some people find this oppressive but it has undoubtedly made the High Street more ...

I will report it to Bromley Council and the police. Bromley issued a statement on the accident last week. I did not post it as the thread had been closed out of respect for the victim and family. However, for clarification this is what Bromley said: "As you may be aware a fatal collision occurred on ...

Sorry for the intrusion into Sydenham but then parts of SE26 are in my ward so there's a convergence of interest. I hope marianne found the car park better than when she last vsitied. It's been painted white and been made more accessible. Until recently it had a full time attendant but not enough ...

A new market for Maple Road, Penge
Not just a date for your diary – a genuine local issue. Can a Farmers’ market sustain itself in Penge? Saturday June 6th is the important date. Thanks to the determination of local traders, a market is returning to Maple Rd. Bromley Council has licensed a Farmers’ market to operate initially for 6 mo ...

These do seem to be proliferating and have been seen by Penge East Station in my ward, so I took some advice. This comes from the Perry Vale sorting office: The Post Office should certainly not be leaving any postman’s trolley out overnight. The office is making enquiries to see if anyone from this s ...

I just wanted to add a bit about the education spend. Overall, Bromley borough is far more affluent than Lewisham and has a lower level of measured needs. For that reason, Lewisham attracts a far higher level of government grant. In Bromley, they only spend the amount that the government give as a ...
