Sydenham Town Forum

I planned to attend. I am a bit puzzled about you having to provide a certificate of public liability insurance. When hiring a venue for a public meeting, it is the normal practice for the venue for public and private meetings to have such a certificate of cover in place and for you, as a meeting or...

A note of caution. Despite a fairly widespread welcome from residents of Perry Vale, Bellingham and Lower Sydenham to the introduction of this new proposal from M&S, it seems bodies from outside our area are less content. It appears FHSoc has taken to one of its old bad habits by submitting obje...

On a slightly wider but parallel front. My email spam filters have been flooded by a sudden increase in traffic as of Saturday 16 March too. The increase is in the range of 25 to 30 items per day with a few new items getting through the filters, requiring manual intervention. Most of the unwanted st...

Thank you for clarifying the route involved. The proposal makes good sense. If the s106 monies for that proposal is held by LB Lewisham (amongst circa £2.4m of unexpended funds ingathered from the retail park development), do we know if LBL will proceed with the work as the condition that funding is...

Could this be a reporting error (second of sections highlighted in bold) from the South London Press item that describes the route being developed from Sydenham station - perhaps that should be Lower Sydenham station? The projects are dependent on the council winning Transport for London (TfL) fundi...

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...

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...
