Re: Bell Green McDonalds
I have written to planning.
I haven't objected, but I have asked for conditions to be tied to any approval, asking for McDonalds to contribute towards bin improvements on the public areas of the retail park and to play a greater role in managing litter outside the confines of their tiny car park ...

Re: Barratt Homes / gasholders site: make your comments NOW!
The response from Lewisham in the planning documents sets out the pollution on site:
"The intrusive investigation works which have been undertaken at the site have identified elevated levels of PAH's, metals and benzene across the wider site which exceed the generic assessment criteria for human ...

Approved tonight at the end of a four hour meeting, where some very relevant points were heard, before the councillors were told in secret to approve it anyway.

Re: Consultation - Bus Lane, Southend Lane (Bellingham Side)
I would like to see something done about the bridge for pedestrians, as there is only one very narrow path under it and people can only walk in single file and have to give way to people coming the other way.
And then you have cars zipping through inches away from you.
It falls far, far short of ...

Re: Consultation - Bus Lane, Southend Lane (Bellingham Side)
We should aim for segregated cycle lanes, rather than paint on the road. Southend Lane, and many other roads this side of the bridge benefit from being extremely wide.
If the car parking in the outer lane of what is practically a dual carriageway, was removed, along with the wasted space for the ...

Re: Consultation - Bus Lane, Southend Lane (Bellingham Side)
It does seem like a wasted opportunity not to put in cycle lanes. Or at least cycle lanes joining up the gaps in between bus lanes.
A bus lane is of some help, but also has very large buses in it, which stop frequently, so not ideal.
I presume the bus lanes will be camera controlled to deter ...

Consultation - Bus Lane, Southend Lane (Bellingham Side)
TFL and Lewisham council are proposing significant changes to the road layout on Southend Lane on the Bellingham side, to put in bus lanes.
There is no pedestrian phase at all on the junction with Worsley Bridge Road and Southend Lane, which makes it very difficult to cross safely, particularly for ...

Re: New Marks and Spencer at Bell Green
I would like to see the entire area redeveloped into housing.
There would still be shops at ground level! Ideally a new village, but still room for supermarkets with housing above.
So, not just 'local' supermarkets, but probably smaller ones that serve the local community rather than people from ...

Could go on about the junctions, railings and lack of bus or cycle lanes forever, but deserves a dedicated thread really.

Re: New Marks and Spencer at Bell Green
I read the documents.
Given the issues with the numbers of vehicles travelling to this site, and the associated pollution (and litter) I was expecting to see some sort of analysis of the potential impacts of opening another food store on journeys made to the site.
But the only analysis is below in ...

Re: Vote for NCIL funding for local projects
Always find these things quite restrictive.
I looked at Bellingham. There is a major problem with the traffic lights in Bellingham side of the Southend Lane Bridge. There are zero pedestrian phases. It is very dangerous. My child is now walking back from Sedgehill past this junction.

Fantastic work, thank you for helping to keep Sydenham tidy
I cannot understand people who just throw their rubbish on the ground even when there are bins close by

I voted Green too. A safe Labour seat ATM, so freedom to lend my vote elsewhere and have no effect on the official outcome.
Plus, the Labour run council aren't a great advert for Labour, though I'd rather have Labour in charge of the country than the Tories. Not sure it makes a great deal of ...

I've heard the hope is to install this in August.
In other news, seems (on twitter) like the ulez nutcases might be targeting traffic lights again after they lost the election.

On a proactive note... I chucked a load of wildflower seeds on the raised beds by Stanton Way in Autumn. Just after Glendale had cut it back.
