Sydenham Town Forum

I'm not a member of the Friends of Baxters Field, but I don't understand how you can criticise people who take their own time to try to preserve and improve the park when you aren't willing to participate yourself.

I think they already owned one/some of the spaces. At least one had a CPO (I think) for the planned redevelopment of Catford town centre. It's a wide scale plan that's been in the pipeline for a number of years: https://www.lewisham.gov.uk/inmyarea/regeneration/Catford-regeneration/Pages/default ...

Beautifully painted and great sign-writing. Looks super smart. Anyway, based on all of the same sort of stuff going back in, and the ...

You're preaching to the converted Stuart. I'm just pointing out why the business owners do get defensive. I'm not saying they shouldn't embrace that feedback for the good of their biz, but don't be surprised if they instead get irritated and defensive. They're only human.

Well said Chris. Sounds exciting! It's all going on at the wrong end of the high street you know ;o)

I've recently made the transition from business consultant/advisor to shop owner. I do understand why shop owners get defensive because you don't open a shop and think "I'm going to make this place look rubbish, and I'm going to deliver a rubbish product". Lets face it not many of us go into opening ...
