Advice on planning (?) sought

Hello, Not Sydenham (for which apologies), but I was wondering if someone might point me in the right direction. Bromley council are planning to replace some (but not all) of the Victorian street lights on my road with rather unsightly LED lights. I would like to at least try and prevent this, due t...

Re: estate agents to recommend: Pedder in Sydenham. We sold and bought through them and could not have been more impressed with their professionalism, efficiency and friendliness.

Re: POLICE APPEAL: Incident on Sydenham Park Road 11th March

How is this incident 'not linked' to other recent abduction attempts? And how are two police officers standing outside a local school going to prevent children being abducted on their way to school? Is there anything that can be done to reduce the risk of this happening again? Is there anything loca...

Re: Childcare

Depending on where you live, Kidsunlimited Beckenham is great (lots of outside space, lovely staff, happy kids). We also used the First Steps Montessori nursery in Upland Road (East Dulwich) some years ago and were very impressed but waiting lists are long. If term-time only provision isn't an issue...

Re: Primary Schools?

Our kids (and many of our neighbours' on and around Venner Road) go to Eliot Bank. Don't give up if you don't get a place first time round.

Hi,

if you live on Newlands Park, you should be able to register with the Sydenham Green surgery off Champion Road (Holmes Close?? - I think the address is somewhere on this website). Recommended for babies and young children as well!
