There are rumours of another fatal stabbing on Sydenham road, near the library, but I can't find anything about it in the news. Does anyone have any info? Hoping it's not true.

I don't know about the accident map but I have witnessed an accident on Silverdale in the recent past, a head on collision between two cars. Plus multiple incidents of road rage and queues well past Bishops Thorpe in the mornings.

Agreed on the bridge although it will never be bike friendly.

the roads with the pollution and accidents are not on the leafy back roads.
Locally, it is Mayow Rd, Perry Vale/Perry Rise and Sydenham Rd

This is great, thank you Sue.

It was 9 March around 7 p.m. There was a gunshot, the road was close off by police. I believe someone was shot in the leg.

Well said.

Not sure how wise it is to revive this thread but wanted to say how grateful I am for this LTN now that we're back in lockdown. I'm clinically vulnerable and no longer feel able to use Mayow Park as it's too busy with too little attention paid to distancing. Bishops Thorpe and Silverdale provide a ...

Sydenham schools in Lewisham schools will have lost 48 hours to replicate this. I can't see how they can achieve this by Monday - so the workers for our essential services will not know if they can deliver or not. Our kids' school (in Lewisham) has pushed the start back to the 5th to allow a little ...

there are many, many more people behind the scenes who feel just the same, stronger even

Me for one. I'm prepared to admit that I'm a bit scared of him. I certainly wouldn't want him to have access to my email address.

Today, I had to make a journey which involves 4 buses (2 there/2 back). I duly purchased face masks for this having been told like the rest of us that this is now mandatory. I am extremely surprised and upset that the vast majority of who would be classed within "BAME" were NOT wearing face masks ...

Is there another party today?
