Signs of life in Sydenham and Forest Hill?

Tim Lund · Post by **Tim Lund** » 28 Nov 2008 09:25

Just as a matter of interest, how many people have registered the glossy Council production - "Sydenham and Forest Hill Life" - http://www.lewisham.gov.uk/CommunityAnd ... llLife.htm - and if so how? Picked up from libraries, delivered door to door?

Personally, I've never seen it.

Your not the only one. I only heard about it because a council officer mentioned it to me

I've never even heard of it. Do we have to sign up to receive it, or is it meant to be freely distributed to all Sydenham and Forest Hill residents?

Yes we received both, but why isn't there an Autumn & Winter issue? Was it not successful? From what I remember it was printed on heavy weight quality paper, so must have cost the council a fair amount.

Why not have 2 issues of Lewisham Life instead? Maybe Lewisham West & Lewisham East to match up with MP's constituencies. I'm not really concerned with issues in Deptford or Blackheath...

I'm glad Boris scrapped The Londoner - what a waste of resources!

Nope, nothing, nada, didily squat, sweet FA, sod all, non, zero...
However having downloaded it as a pdf, it's quite informative, easy to read etc.

Not received in Longton Grove, either.

It looks familiar. I'm pretty sure we did get it posted through the door. It was months ago though.

Just to let everyone know that a third edition will be out before Christmas. From the draft I have seen there is a survey on the back page asking for your views. The aim of the locality newsletter is to periodically promote the high street - something to be welcomed in the current economic climate?

Just to let you know that the next edition of Sydenham and Forest Hill Life is due for distribution tomorrow. Please could you contact Will Bouquet on 020 8314 9985 to report any problems with distribution so that we can rectify the situation. We also welcome any feedback you may have.

Where is this meant to be distributed/available?
I could report that I don't receive it but I don't know if that's a problem, or if I'm actually not supposed to receive it!!

Lewisham Council · Post by **Lewisham Council** » 12 Dec 2008 12:37

The issue should be distributed to the whole of Sydenham, Forest Hill and Perry Vale wards.

If you are unsure what ward you are in you can check on this page:

It is also available on the website at:

Thanks

Living in Longton Grove I have to report non-receipt of the third edition. I picked up a copy from the Library a couple of weeks ago as I rather anticipated this would be the case as the first and second editions were not delivered either.

Can we go back to the original question posed by Tim Lund - how many people are actually receiving a delivered copy of this third edition of Forest Hill and Sydenham Life?

Living in Dacres Rd I have not received either Pat.

boon · Post by **boon** » 12 Dec 2008 15:33

Nor I, living on the Lewisham side of Border Rd.

Off subject I know, but you're so lucky living in Border Road. I miss it there! What end do you live?

Pat Trembath · Post by **Pat Trembath** » 12 Dec 2008 17:28

Nickerbockers - sorry, you are off subject - why dont you pm boon?

Back to the subject:

I have reported the non-delivery in my road to Will Bouquet on 8314 9985 as requested in Lewisham's earlier posting.

Will is checking this thread and asks that folk contact him directly with their actual addresses so that he can monitor the bigger picture.

Our copy was delivered to Thorpewood Avenue a couple of days ago. We also received the first two issues.
