Sydenham Town Forum

Have you tried discussing it with your local MP? I imagine some news channels like Metro or BBC or even social media may get it some attention.

I'm in the same camp. Had they also taken away the heating allowance for second homes of MP's I would have found it a bit more acceptable.

Not to mention the 24/7 176 so there is never too late. It's quite speedy at night and a lot cheaper. We generally go into town by rail and return by bus. It's a bit sad to see some of the audience scooting out early to catch their last train home. We are just so lucky in Sydenham. Yes re ...

Mind Blown.

If there are times it is unmanned, how is an age verification being completed? What is to stop a 15 year old going in?

Heroes don't do things that can cause injury to children.

The sense of entitlement some people have that think their needs override anything else and park how and where they like really grinds my gears. To add insult to injury with the 5 month roadworks, there is now a lane closed at the top of Anerley Hill towards Crystal Palace, so those coming up the ...

Not quite Sydenham but as many of us use the South Circular I thought this may be of interest.

So he'll be out in 3 years then?

Whilst I love a good coffee (Hello Mr Hazlenut Flat White, My light, My Life, My only reason for living) there are plenty of places already so not sure why Starbucks chose Sydenham to be honest.

I read this on Facebook last week. It's great the loop is back, but no service to East Croydon is ridiculous considering its the hub to Gatwick and the coast. Changing at Norwood Junction is not much of a hassle but its just another connection and another wait if you are going further on... Train to ...

I remember when I first went to visit a new potential flat in Sydenham and I liked it, so I signed the papers there and then... and wandered down to The Dolphin and had a celebratory pint in their beer garden, it was beautiful.

^ Definitely this. I would definitely say this falls in their purview.

Surely your not advocating another lockdown? I don't think the public have the appetite for that. Sure, cases are high (although coming down) but this has not been replicated in deaths or hospital admissions. I'm not advocating a lock down, but the relaxing of masks, the removal of free covid tests ...

I was just discussing this the other day. I currently know 8 people with Covid... that's more than at any time during the pandemic. Sorry to hear that. The lifting of restrictions to distract from partygate is the most malicious act of self interest Ive seen in a government. Actually charging for ...

It seems that branch is permanently closed now. So the Nat West is the only bank in Sydenham now. There has been a debate about financial exclusion recently, shutting down all the bank branches seems to going that way. Wonder what the building will become? Good location opposite the station. Banks ...
