Sydenham Town Forum

Thank you Growsydenham, ill waste an hour or two on the lewisham planning portal tomorrow finding all the information - i find its very detailed, just slow to load

Despite the objections mentioned earlier in this thread, the planning committee approved the new bloc of 23 flats on the derelict shops at 86 Bell Green on Tuesday night.
Can you point me to a record of that please Growsydenham? I've looked at the application on the Lewisham planning site and it ...

Yes that would be fine by me. The whole point of having orbital distributor (ie the South Circular) roads is so people don't rat run through residential areas. We built the orbital roads but we didn't get round to closing off the residential streets. Now we're playing catchup with the civilised ...

I think you will find this is just a re-branding - Wesfarmers bought Homebase from Home Retail last year , its obviously taken a while to work the new name through the branches, although it might be interesting to see if the BBQ range improves.

KPR - have you managed to not acknowledge that the council have moved to fortnightly black bin collection, and the next due date for Sydenham is the 17th? LBL are usually pretty hopeless, but i thought they did a god job in advertising this through the past few months

Does anyone know dates for local plant sales this year? I wasn't free yesterday to get to Sydenham gardens spring fair.

Kent house allotments...........21st May 11am ?
CND.......................................13th May 2pm ?
Wells Park..............................
Horinmans ...

Jim got over 50% of the first past the post vote, so how could AV have altered things?

as I understand it , AV and PR are different approaches to try to solve the same problem, if you have PR , you have to have some different way of those "pooled" votes counting, which must inevitably lead to ...

would we still have had a Lewisham West and Penge constituency MP then? I thought for PR to work there had to be pooling of votes across nations or at least regions.

Where in the thorpes? As far as I am aware all the ones that were scheduled to be replaced have been?

Princethorpe

I understood they were not replacing the lights in Princethorpe for they were relatively new. I also much prefer the lights in Princethorpe anyway.


as i understood it the plan ...

this seems to have drifted from Istanbul to PFC - I've never had any problems with PFC and chose it over the other similar store - not that i would think of it as high on my list of wine outlets

I'd second Raff's as a great venue, but if you decide on it , I'd book soon, especially if your party is large, as following the Trip Adviser episode last year he seems to be full every night.

good luck AC - we've been here 30 years , its a great place to live , and public transport is now miles better than it used to be

Thanks everyone. This has made me feel better about things (despite the Southern situation).

I actually work quite close to Bank. I get the tube to Monument and then walk up. I was thinking my best bet would be to get the train to London Bridge and walk but then after reading your comments, I ...

I am the Ian Davenport of the Thorpes Residents Association - how have you contacted me harrym as I've not seen anything?
I'm happy to meet up to discuss it , but i think you should add to the post re the" vast majority of attendees supported the idea of 2hr parking controls", that the attendees ...

wondering what everyone has made of Budgens after its first week - i used to use the Co-Op a couple of times a week for organic milk and crusty bread - my trip on Sunday highlighted Budgens sold neither. Anyone else found they are going there regularly with success?

Thanks Robbie - ill try them later in the week - you mean the one down opposite beer rebellion?

Can anyone recommend a fitter for vinyl flooring in a small bathroom please? its not a large area, but a tricky shape and I think would benefit from an experts attention.

Parker - yes i guess it was them
as to how Just Eat makes a living , i expect you are right , so that would explain why the restaurant is less interested in those customers than their own - lesson learned - i just wanted to try it out , its back to ringing direct for me
thanks for the input

if you made it Bus only , where would the traffic that uses Newlands Park go? Cator/Trewsbury? Just making it bus only wont convince those car drivers to use the bus instead, however much anyone might wish.
