Sydenham Town Forum

Today, Historic England added the war memorial outside the Livesey Hall to their 'Heritage at risk' list. https://historicengland.org.uk/advice/heritage-at-risk/search-register/list-entry/405981 The plaques have been stolen, replaced with plastic. The plastic replacements have faded (by sun or clean...

Hi b_s - I've invested in a £2.99 picker-upper from the Sydenham Road Bargain Shop. Doesn't look too robust but it helped me do our street today. Thanks for inspiring me. Maybe the Sydenham Assembly should give a proper one plus Lewisham bags to folks who will do their street once a week. So anothe...

The blue bags are poundland issue.

£2 for a roll of 18!

They are very good at collecting them, although it helps if it's somewhere where they can stop the wagon safely. I usually leave them by a bin or in one of the places where they pile the Lewisham blue bags, Or I just add to the pile.

Nice to see this message. I've been reporting flytipping and assorted stuff for years. Now using Love Clean Streets app, which seems to be the council's latest favourite. Flytips seem to be cleared quickly. Other things are a bit slower. Managed to get some yellow lines repainted too. First lot took...

Another thought. Police may not come out for noise, but they will for drugs, knives, aggressive behaviour etc...

So make sure you press the right buttons when calling.

Contact your councillor imo.

To clarify, there will only be 8 parking spaces, for blue badge holders. The process so far has involved talk of a car free development. The application suggests there is nowhere nearby to park, as all the roads have double yellow lines and the car parks have time limits. They don't mention that tho...

The planning application for the (former) Gas Holder site is now live and open for comments etc... Three buildings proposed, "between 5 and 15 storeys". It says something about phased development, which presumably means they won't build the next one until they've sold what's been built, so...

Sorry to hear that.

We've had two recycling collections in 4 days. Once on Saturday because they missed last week and then again today, on our usual collection day.

Seems ridiculous to collect from one road twice in a week and nothing for weeks elsewhere.

Strange, as my kids school (Haseltine) is always closed to education on polling day. A shame The Bridge has been closed, as that would have made a great place for polling day. Probably still would if the door was opened. I note the Bowling Club hasn't been abandoned yet either. There is also The Liv...

Bromley Council reference: 20/00781/FULL1

Is this the same planning application for the land previously described as The Footzie Social Club? I'm not clear which bit of the Dylon site hasn't already been built on.

Should we expect the council to replace trees they originally planted and then removed or do we have to pay to have them replaced? I used to live on a tree lined road, which is now much less green, but it would cost thousands of pounds to replace all the trees the council have removed. The tree outs...

Wasn't my point. But she hasn't addressed any of my points either.

I assumed that meant she agreed with everything I typed.

and how many died of untreated cancer? Very few I would imagine, as we tend to treat cancer unless patients refuse or it is extremely advanced. There was some impact on cancer treatment, because the Govt kept waiting until they were told hospitals were not going to be able to cope before they did a...

Deaths are not an average of 43 per day. They are over 100 and the data for deaths by date reported only goes up to 17 September.

I get most of my information from lamp posts, which are the council's favoured method of advertising planning notices. Presumably this is because it's the best way to get information to people using an area.

Managed into the ground and now residents suffer the consequences. I used to take my first born there for swimming lessons. Brilliant teacher left because of the mismanagement. They wouldn't run a class if they didn't have 3 kids, so you'd end up arriving to find out you just had to walk home again....
