Sydenham Town Forum

In other news...quite a lot of activity in the old Coop yesterday. Some guys drilling some piles into the floor to see what the foundation depth was.
The guys didn’t seem to know what was going on, but movement nonetheless.

Tbh, I would rarely use a cab to go into London, so the main reason is to come home.
Also, the majority of Uber vehicles are hybrid, which can’t be said for black cabs.

Uber needs to change a few things, but it is defo a thing for good for me, and I would have less in my pocket as a result

Horror story - your friend's case to be argued with the supplier, deliverer and respective insurance companies will be a tale to be told too. On Perry Hill the fastest drive-by pick-up in daylight is around six minutes. Average 12-25 minutes for white goods. Once watched an eastern European lady li...

What is going on? Been buzzing around overhead for about 30mins

Regarding Hibagon providing "world-class Japanese food", all I know is that any time it's open there's virtually no customers eating there, and they're always advertising for staff. I admit I haven't eaten at Hibagon, or ordered a takeaway, and I recall when it first opened six or seven years ago i...

Completely agree about Hibagon.

Cannot find anything on the Aldi website as to whether the Sydenham Aldi is happening or not
Shame if it doesn't open in former Toys are Us

Well the signs are up outside the premises and they appear to be fitting it out, so I reckon that’s a fair sign it’s happening

John does appear to have a harder life than the rest of KPR’s residents.
Curious.

Yet another near collision outside my house... JUST much hooting of horns and shouts of abuse! Collision, or near collision? Surely there have been two or three in the last fortnight, but they were collisions. Not near collisions. Please only report on (including photos of) collisions. Near collisi...

I already posted my solution. For those who think there is no problem... it is outside my house where the fisticuffs generally happen along with the regular collisions. On average there is a collision once a fortnight. The screaming of abuse and fisticuffs are about as frequent. I have never seen a...

I would like to know who has priority on the high street then? If the flats above and the retail units below helped pay for it, how dare anyone have a greater right to use it? Scandalous

Also, I have lived in KPR for quite a few years, and there really isn’t a problem.

I think this development looks really good and I walk past it every day. John H you seem/are reluctant to applaud change or updating... - Safeway went bust in 2005! Then you need to pay closer attention. I will not declare something wonderful when it is far from it. This development overcrowds the ...

There is a public health issue at stake and so the Environmental Health Department is who you should refer to. We are! Write direct to the puppet mayor. I doubt you will receive a response but he is supposed to be responsible. Domestic waste is a local authority matter and they are obliged BY LAW t...

I was almost certain that I have seen references to this issue before on the Forum, but couldn't find anything through search, so feel free to point me in the right direction @admin The rubbish build up outside this new block of flats is ridiculous - I seem to remember hearing that the landlord had ...

A lot of demolition work went on but it came to a halt. I believe there is an intention to purchase Sivyer's yard and incorporate that. If so then a revised planning application should be expected BUT no news so far. If Sivyer's yard is closed it will be a day for widespread celebration and I am su...

UPDATE: Thames have just sent me a text saying: 'Your water supply should soon be back to normal as we have now finished our repair. We are sorry for the disruption this has caused' ENDS

Have tweeted Thames this morning - they sent a note back saying they are aware and have people on site, in the area

We are edging closer to the time when we need to apply for primary schools for our kids. We live on the south side of Sydenham high street and seems like we’d struggle to get into any local school based on the most recent catchment area data from 2017 (with the possible exception of Adamsrill). Cur...

Still wondering what is happening with the old Coop site, which would seem to me to be a good opportunity despite the lack of parking, which is probably a deal-breaker Ahem, Girton Road Car Park could hardly be closer. Doesn't do Lidl's any harm. Plus there it's a lot more convenient for the non-ca...
