Re: Public Meeting: Development Proposals for Livesey Hall and Environs

To help inform debate on this issue my impartial view to LDG members regarding local opinion on this issue is:
90% - WTF is the Livesley hall?
9.9%- knock it down and build a drive through KFC
0.1%- won't someone think about the children 🙏

Re: Sydenham DO strike breaking

Got a Royal Mail email this morning saying a parcel would be delivered today. The surprise was it arrived. Not by our postman, not in a Royal Mail van but in an unmarked black van. I assume the Forest Hill/Sydenam DO managers hired in strike breakers who crossed picket lines. I could have waited a ...

Re: Resolution from Sydenham Local Assembly re: BGNF and Area

There was a public consultation about whether to approve the Bell Green Neighbourhood Area boundary, which was publicly discussed over 2 years. Almost all the public respondents approved; a handful of councillors didn't. Lewisham’s director of planning rejected the boundary, and designated an area ...

It is a veritable Christmas/ winter wonderland, I've heard tell it's the same illuminator who used to decorate Regent Street back in the heyday of high st displays.

Re: Bell Green Neighbourhood Forum proposals...

Let's stop all the bickering and infighting, I'm sure given time normal people and those from Bellingham can all just work together.

Although obviously being more industrious and smarter the Sydenham folk will do the vast majority of the leg work but let's not quibble about semantics until later.

As a member of the Friends of Sydenham Tyres Tyre Mountain (trying saying that after a few) I say hands off, it's the only man made structure in Sydenham that can be seen from outer space.

Re: What do you think about The Golden Lion?

El Cid you've raised something ( and put in a more eloquent way than I could have managed) I've often thought when I've compared the GL with the Dolphin. The Golden Lion isn't a bad little pub, slight problem with the real ale quality now and then but always great service by polite welcoming bar sta...

Who's standing in the Sydenham by election in May?

I've had a check and unfortunately The Official Monster Raving Loony Party will not be fielding a candidate this time round, unsure about Lord Bucket Head.

Re: St Philip Neri school: Archdiocese appeals planning enforcement order

Joy to the world. On Christmas eve, the responsible Lewishambles officer told me that, due to COVID-19 striking the Archdiocese’s agent, the planning inquiry’s statement of common ground hadn’t been progressed. That means there has been no agreement on how to limit the scope of the inquiry, or to s...

I, for one, hope the Harris Sydenham is not named after the now disgraced ex-Sydenhamonian Rolf!!! Scandalous if it is.
