Sydenham Town Forum

Interesting about how that'll affect airbnb. I'm with Rachael on this - I'd rather HMRC pursues the big tax evaders vs someone renting out a room! Plus there's the rent a room scheme with HMRC which might apply to some of these landlords https://www.gov.uk/rent-room-in-your-home/the-rent-a-room ...

In the meantime, even though I'm not that close to the club, I have received a letter from Zanzibar dated 20 July apparently from the new operations manager, Terence Reid, who signs by way of Microsoft Word font. I can't scan it right now, but the usual things - club is under new management since ...

Really sorry to read this, it must have been terrible to return and discover this! Do you know how the burglar(s) got in?

Thanks Annie, we'll try them next. Alywin, yes over-valued. Looking at another similar-sized place they valued for similar, it has been on rightmove for ages now. A friend who is looking in the area at the moment also says that they are the worst for over-valuing (after foxtons). I do think they do ...

Thanks for sharing! Fingers crossed for decent weather, would be a fun thing to do

Mary, do you know whether there's a good alternate pub operator lined up? I know a lot of people did not like the idea of a sainsburys, but it would have attracted an increased footwalk to that stretch of road, which really doesn't need another empty building

It's quite silly really, it's not as if you were not picking up after your dog!

I also don't get the 'there are children living on this street' comment - apart if your dog was not on a leash and looked about to maul a kid.

Does anyone know what's the latest update on the windmill?

I'll have to chime in as well about the lack of promotion, I wouldn't know it was there without this forum. Something at both exits from the station would help, especially if these markets are going to be monthly. It's very easy to not even see the venner sq market if you use the spring hill exit on ...

Great! Shall try to pop by after work

Thought to add these here instead of the pop up thread - was going past 161 Kirkdale yesterday, and there's a new note from Belinda & Charles about opening a cafe with coffee, wines and craft beers. Included photos below, apologies for poor quality, was trying not to seem too suspicious taking ...

Very exciting news! I agree with Kirkdalian, would be happy to see all those empty shops in use

Not going mad, saw it being painted on Wednesday too, and it was halfway done yesterday Was it something that started with "Welcome to..."?

I don't have tattoos either, but sister and friends do I like seeing the addition of the tattoo shop to that side of Kirkdale, very nice signage and the glass view gives a lovely glimpse of the art hanging inside. Good luck to Rob and everyone else involved in the business!

Same here, I use adblock on chrome, and always am surprised when I see ads on the forum when checking it on my phone!

Strangely, ads for me on work pc is about emigrating to Canada and less strangely about donating to Médecins Sans Frontières.

This sounds great, there's so much potential for how the place could be developed to both profit the owner and also serve the community! Will definitely keep an eye on this. In terms of the license review, the recommendation from the paperwork available for the meeting is to reduce the operating ...

Great idea indeed, it would be amazing if they could relocate to Sydenham and find a living and working place here!

#Ihatepurelake and the state in which they've left the Greyhound in Sydenham. What's the point of conservation area if this is allowed?? Thanks for the confirmation marymck. JT123, thanks for the details, ideally would want to do this myself instead of paying yet someone else! I'll contact you by PM ...

Also have to chime in for Zac Campbell, recommendation I found from Janeco in an earlier thread. Would highly recommend, he's finishing some work at my flat (moving sockets in rooms, new light switch for bathroom vs ceiling cord) and very happy with his advice, work and calls to check whenever ...

I wonder how many people know about the hearing on the 19th? Was there any notice/letter distributed at the houses most likely to be affected by the club? Or is it just by word of mouth and whoever is checking the forum? Is there a possibility of something like that to be organised - distribution of ...
