Hello. Sydenham Labour Party members decide the local candidate. As you’d expect, the associated meetings and voting were done remotely.
Great thanks for confirming

Re: Delivery scooters all parked down Spring Hill

While the mopeds parked on Spring Hill are providing a valuable delivery service, as a pedestrian, you really have to pay extra attention when crossing the road between Nando's and Sainsbury's. The mopeds have a habit of zipping in and out of Spring Hill, and weaving between traffic at the roundabo...

Re: Delivery scooters all parked down Spring Hill

I I may be a bit biased but these delivery drivers are the best thing that has happened!! I haven't been to a supermarket since the pandemic began and I wonder how many lives they’ve saved doing this work. I think if you live on a main road you'd expect some noise so to me they are an emergency serv...

Re: how to get out of this mess

London cases are 1 in 15 now thats 3 days since it was 1 in 30. its quite a serious of case of exponential growth but you wouldn't think so with the government’s lacklustre response and the absent opposition. There should be a lockdown like In March so business is supported and “key workers” are not...

Re: how to get out of this mess

I'm in a vulnerable group. Yep, I 'm afraid of Covid and I know exactly why. But I'm even more afraid of others spreading disinformation and undermining the public. It gives sustenance to those in government seeking to influence decisions in their interest and not the nation. The result is I'm virt...

Re: how to get out of this mess

It’s totally insane that as an #NHS doctor, I still have to tweet the fact that the #COVID19 pandemic is not a hoax and the current surge is likely to overwhelm large parts of the NHS. The next few weeks are going to be extremely difficult and COVID deniers aren’t helping matters

As an NHS clinical worker, I am not a "covid denier" but I am concerned about the collapse of the economy that pays for the health service. I know several people who have had covid and all have recovered like almost everyone else. There will be a lot more people dying from missed cancer d...

Re: how to get out of this mess

Shocking figures emerging today (Wednesday) about the acceleration of spread of the virus in South East London. From a figures of a few weeks ago where it was reported that approx 1 in 900 people were infected, we went to bed last night being told 1 in 50 is now the ratio. Unfortunately since last ...

Re: how to get out of this mess

FYI new covid is 10-100 times more infectious, no one knows the true number at this point. In simple terms 1 person with new covid is like 10 - 100 people with old covid breathing and coughing in your personal space. Not only are there more particles they are more easily attached to receptors. This ...

Please do all be careful. I've just had a look at the Govt. website, which is showing parts of Sydenham as having - if I've read it correctly - over 400 cases per 100,000 head of population. That is horrendous. You’re absolutely right its now taking hold in Sydenham. On twitter there are no UK ment...
