I've read it and think it's very good. If you want a copy Forest hill library has got stacks of them. I didn't see any mention of Sydenham town forum or se23.com. Do they accept articles written by amateurs?

I think there might be a copy under the pile of takeaway leaflets, flyers and assorted rubbish that lives in the communal entrance to our flat!!!!!

Never received it here :(
Maybe it's because I live on a Council Estate?
(We DO get about 10 Pizza/other take away menus through our door though, weekly, but contrary to belief, we don't all live on that kind of food, daily :P)
We seem to get forgotten and not get good service for many things (ie parcels left outside the front door with no knock given, no NewsShopper, the other Local Papers/Magazines, that seem to be aimed at only the house homeowners, rather than flat owners/residents)
Shouldn't all borough/local publications get delivered to ALL tenants and residents within that Borough?

I (and I am sure, many others) am very interested in all local news and announcements etc. but, if it were not for the local Forums and Blogs, online, that I am aware of and use, I doubt I would get to know many things regarding my local area.

Kind of makes you feel like you live in a No-Go zone, even if you don't deserve it (as some/many here don't)
We ARE residents too

I believe Council officers are in fact looking at this thread as a way of checking up where these are getting distributed, so if you could say which estate you are on it might help.

If this forum is any indication, it doesn't seem to be getting distributed anywhere!!

I've just rung up to report a non-delivery and spoke to a friendly Scottish lady. She sounded very concerned as they are meant to be delivered by the same people who deliver Lewisham Life. I mentioned that I hadn't seen LL since the first week of November.

A copy of both are in the post today!

It seems strange that Silverdale had their copies, but not the Thorpes. Did everyone get a copy on Silverdale, Tim?
