Have people go their letters inviting them to the Sydenham high street forum on 1st and 3rd March? Or have these been distributed as widely and randomly as the original questionnaire?
I trust that I'll see some of you there on the Saturday.

Hi Vicky - Ian Plowright, at Lewisham, is organising this - the text of his letter is below:
Stakeholder Forum
Enhancing Sydenham high street
Thank you very much for taking the time to complete the ‘Enhancing Sydenham high street’ questionnaire. The responses are currently being analysed. The analysed results, along with all the comments made on the questionnaires, will be carefully studied by the designers commissioned to develop proposals for Sydenham Road.
The introduction to the questionnaire explained that the results of the survey, together with other research conducted at the high street, will be summarised at a stakeholder forum. The forum is intended as an opportunity for us to further hear your views, feed back results of the questionnaire and other research, and introduce the
designers who will develop proposals for Sydenham Road.
The forum has been scheduled for: Thursday 1st March from 7.00 to 9.00 pm and Saturday 3rd March from 2.00 to 4.00 pm
at the Naborhood Centre, 44a Sydenham Road, SE26 5QX.
Both events will be run in the same manner. If you wish to attend either of them please choose the time/date that best suits you and rsvp as shown overleaf. It is planned to begin the forum with a short summary of the questionnaire survey results, the Community Street Audit undertaken by Living Streets and other research, followed by a short presentation from the designers, by way of introduction. The intention is that the forum would then break into smaller groups, led by professional
facilitators, to allow in-depth discussion to take place. After discussing the results of the information gathering and the implications for the design process, the forum would come back together for a final session where key points from the groups’ ideas, conclusions and other comments would be fed back to all the participants. The ‘next steps’ in the design process would be explained. A detailed Note of
Proceedings will also be prepared and sent out to everyone who wants a copy.
Considerable interest has been expressed in the forum. It is hoped that all those wishing to attend can be accommodated. However, if you wish to attend it would aid management of the forum considerably if you would RSVP to Rachel Crozier at CAG Consultants. You can RSVP in three ways:
By email: rachelcrozier@blueyonder.co.uk
By freephone: 0800 389 4276
(calls are free if made from a landline)
By post to: Rachel Crozier

If it does not prove possible to fit everyone into the venue on the two dates, a further meeting will be arranged. The results of the questionnaire survey, the draft Community Street Audit report and
reports on some of the other information gathering, will be placed in Sydenham Library, Kirkdale Bookshop and on the Council website Transport and Streets, Consultation and Policy page
(http://www.lewisham.gov.uk/TransportAnd ... ionPolicy/) a few days prior to the forum events. They will remain available in the weeks after the forum.
I would like to thank you again for completing a questionnaire and look forward to possibly meeting you at the forum.
