Where is your proof? Please provide links to justify your claims.

No harm in trying Fix my Street.

I suppose the graffiti can join the phenomenal amount of fly tipping in making Sydenham resemble a glorified dump these days.

Oh and on my run this evening I passed a van driver chucking all his rubbish on to the street...

Went to Sushi Garden in Dartmouth Road last night. Great it's reopened again. Fabulous sushi!

Sign up on a shop opposite the piano place about a new American bar, shish etc coming soon. Makes a change from another hairdresser!

Your local pharmacy will give free flu jabs if you’re eligible and paid ones for those who aren’t. Will save a lot of aggro on phones.

I mentioned that Longton one further up. Another planned at Sydenham Park

Lewisham rejected one on Wells Park Road. However, isn’t this generally a case of people shifting an issue from one doorstep to another? Most will want 5G but not the infrastructure that goes with it, which is not a workable situation. I cannot believe that Hutchison will be going to the expense of ...

Another application has gone in for Longton Grove. Hutchison Telecom, 18 metres.

Raff’s was and remains an absolute treat. Was there tonight again and undoubtedly the best food for miles around.

The Dolphin’s pizzas are excellent and the staff are taking the pandemic seriously.

Both these businesses deserve support.

We thought the same. Sounded like a sound system and DJ for much of late afternoon/evening.

I regret to report that after the initial surge of compliance, I now see fewer masks on Sydenham Road and on my last trip to Lidl there were 4 unmasked customers. :-( Regards Chris Complacency has set In So my neighbours are having a massive garden party is this allowed now? Current guidelines stat...

Seen a few down at the Longton Nursery allotments, behind Longton Grove, in the last few days.

Today, I had to make a journey which involves 4 buses (2 there/2 back). I duly purchased face masks for this having been told like the rest of us that this is now mandatory. I am extremely surprised and upset that the vast majority of who would be classed within "BAME" were NOT wearing fa...

Has the council removed the barrier on Silverdale? Cars were merrily driving through it today...

I’d be astonished if this went ahead. They may be trying to sell tickets but there’s a reference on their website to possible cancellation and refunds. I guess the organisers are hoping restrictions will be lifted but I just can’t see that happening.

Last I checked these two streets are not exactly heaving with pedestrians weaving in and out of each other. The social distancing argument is rubbish. What about the alleyway that runs from silverdale to station approach? Narrow as hell! So if they are serious about social distancing this should ei...

Pleased to see the council is planning temporary barriers on Wells Park Road to stop the dreadful parking on pavements near the park. Social distancing as pedestrians is impossible there at present unless dodging traffic while walking in the road...

Yes. We’ve ordered in recent weeks by phone with no problem.

There are some people who just won’t respect the rules. On the other hand pavements are too narrow in many places, which is the problem when our towns and cities are given over to cars and pollution...

I doubt anything will change with PFC - assuming they're not behaving themselves - unless their business falls off a cliff or they get prosecuted or threatened with prosecution. And the latter relies on us, as consumers, reporting to Trading Standards. You'd have to make sure you had as much evidenc...
