Omg I can hear this too! I thought it was the church at the top of newlands but it’s not. Can still hear it now (12.30pm) - football maybe ?

I saw police and forensics inside the hairdressers by the newlands park bus stop, all cordoned off

Thanks for all the tips, I have put my objections in.

I love fried chicken, but another cheap chicken place on the high street really isnt needed. How much custom can they really get with two competitors a few hundred yards away?

Two steps forward, one step back eh

That reminds me - must sent complaints in to all involved - the kerbs and pavements are now cracked and broken all along the road. Nuts!

So the constant diverted traffic from the blasted hole in the road in Crystal Palace just ended up with a flurry of bus drivers getting out in protest as they refused to mount the pavement in order to pass each other as there were too many of them on the road. Solidarity with them though - the ...

I guess people mention nationality as a lot of people’s experience with the fake Big Issue scams do seem to come from the same backgrounds. I’m sure there was a channel 4 documentary on gangs exploiting the more vulnerable to sell for them. Often as covers for other shady dealings.

This is terrible news! I loved Bunnings (I thought the quality and price of their plants was far better than homebase). it always was pretty busy in there so this is a huge huge shame. heres hoping the new owners put something similar in there.

Oh god, its like picking the best of a band bunch. One of the chaps said his mission was to build more houses with 40% being 'genuinely affordable.' poor choice of words maybe, but it does read like the other 60% are going to be NOT AFFORDABLE lol.

I would prefer an Aldi to a Poundstretcher. At least then I could get a whole shop rather than literally buying tat which is what happens whenever I go into the pound shop in Penge! Plus, Lidl is always busy, the queues are huge despite the check out assistants throwing your food at you at neck ...

Thank you!

No idea how to post a pic on here but husband caught what was described above over Sydenham high street

Ooooh this is exciting!

Could it be a drone?

I am beyond furious, we have had basically nothing for almost a fortnight in our block, and I am waiting on official bank statements for our visa appointment saturday. i wonder if i can get away with telling the Home Office to take it up with the bloody sorting office !

Went to Bunnings (Penge Homebase) on Saturday morning. Really please - they seem to have utilised more of the outdoor space than HB did, the garden area was full of really decent quality and affordable plants - the HB ones always looked like they were on their last legs. Friendly chirpy staff. Plus ...

I put my tree up on the 27th November. Every year I have always waited until December, but this year I thought 'Sod it' and put it up. My house. My Tree. Its me that has to look at it, no one else, and it makes me happy, so whats the harm?

I disagree - I on a daily basis see 1: cars running red lights at speed 2: cars speeding when the traffic is clear the junction at newlands park is particulary bad. I am not exaggerating when I say I see this every single day. This is in addition to cars parking off the junction, blocking busses ...

I walked past it, saw some poor chap having the roof cut off his car by the fire brigade. was close to tears myseld, poor sod. hope everythings ok.

we neeeeed cameras on that road.

Now the scaffolding has come off I was pleased to see they have attempted to keep with the style of the high street with the roof. However I see the scummy Acorn agency are pimping these flats out http://www.acornnewhomes.co.uk/property-for-sale/1-bedroom-flat-in-sydenham-road-london-se26-P211663 ...
