Sydenham Town Forum

Even more saddening - the front three panels on the memorial were reported stolen in October 2011. Simply put - over 12 years ago. This is how the memorial looked before the theft. http://lewishamwarmemorials.wdfiles.com/local--files/memorial:sydenham-south-suburban-gas-works-ww1-and-ww2-war-m/SBGGW...

In posts from 2018 expressing regret about the theft of the several brass plaques from the War Memorial, this was said: ...accusations that there is shame does not lie in the nature of the temporary repairs. It specifically lies in the theft of the solid brass original plaques from the memorial by r...

Good luck in your efforts.

Thank you.

Done.

An update on fundraising today from Tim Walker, FHSoc Executive committee member. ‘Thank you to everyone for so much support in such a short time. It is giving us the confidence that we can keep going with our plans at pace. We have worked intensely on our arguments with our expert legal counsel and...

London City Airport's planning application for expansion of its operations was rejected by LB Newham. Newham rejected it on the grounds of noise and the reduction of the long-established weekend respite by extending flying hours to include all day Saturdays. Expanded flight proposals would bring an ...

Interesting - whatever modification Lewisham made to the entry, it triggered an automatic update email to me.

Whilst the email set the status as "Decided" the entry in the portal was set to "Withdrawn by Applicant".

Ha - Cruella will be even more intrigued by this revelation.

Long term reconnaissance - and looking very organised in their little sailor suits too.

Supported by the little guy in the red trousers - is he one of the much-vaunted leftie lawyers?

Rumour is Ms Braverman is desperate for intel about where the trowel carrying terrorists hid their little boats before sailing out to the island roundabout illegally.

More power to their collective elbows.

Delightful outcome.

Within 24 hours of LB Newham refusing planning permission to expand its operations, London City Airport announces it will appeal the planning decision that stops them stealing away peaceful enjoyment of Saturdays from thousands of overflown Londoners. Entirely expected. Only question was how quickly...

Today, 10 July 2023, LB Newham's Strategic Development Committee has considered London City Airport's S73 Planning Application which articulated the airport's expansion proposals. The Committee received and deliberated upon its Planning Officers Report which contained a recommendation to REFUSE the ...

Done. I wish to object to this application. The selected location is an already narrow footpath which is a choke point for pedestrians, pram users and wheelchair users. The installation will unnecessarily further obstruct this section of pavement. It may be anticipated that the installer deems this ...

This "top prioritisation" adds weight to the argument to see more efficient deployment of resources as being critical in preventing repetition of this form of crime. Five or six incidents means five or six more opportunities in which CCTV images could be secured and then using rapid scanni...

DEfRA requires London City Airport to update its next 5-year Noise Action Plan for 2024-2028. https://www.londoncityairport.com/corporate/noise-and-track-keeping-system/draft-noise-action-plan Public Consultation dates as per this schedule. The details of the public drop-in sessions are as follows: ...

Horrible story - and I am sorry this has happened to you. The measure of just how ineffective our policing is just as you report it here - another contact made with you, with the intent of going through a process you have already completed. The degree of duplication and the resources applied to repe...

Personal response made on portal: I am a resident and near neighbour to the site for this proposed development. I OBJECT to and oppose the proposal in its entirety. My reasons accord with the details laid out in the Bell Green Neighbourhood Forum formal response made on 27th March 2023. It is noted ...

A credible and creditable response. Congratulations to everyone who had an input. The hard work that has gone into its preparation is clearly evident. An issue not to be forgotten and will have significant impact on existing residents and businesses and to be pressed with both companies, Barratts an...

Right on the specified date, I received a cordial reply to my application to join the LDG, informing me my application had been rejected. Interestingly it reports the Group had been overwhelmed by the number of applicants and that selections had been made randomly on a demographics basis. We’d like ...

Excellent news to have a consultation, although sadly their plans would remove sports ground - an area of four hard tennis courts - from our Asset of Community Value. Given the total loss of the Bridge Leisure Centre, this would be a blow. The assertion that an area of four tennis courts would be r...
