Re: Barratt Homes / gasholders site: make your comments NOW!
Respondents to the planning application have just been invited to a meeting on the 26th about it, before it goes to the Council Strategic Planning Committee.

Thank you for the reminder - and also the pointer that we can email comments. The comment box on the planning site is very limited!

Re: Overground to London Bridge?
Agreed, my preference would definitely be the reinstatement of a 4 trains ph service, with two of those being the Caterham train. But as someone who commutes to London Bridge, I'll take what I can get at this stage.

Overground to London Bridge?
Apparently TfL are looking into how they could extend the Overground to London Bridge as Southern have no plans to reinstate our 4 trains an hour. That would be a "yes please" from me if it went ahead! Source: https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/tfl-considering-london-overground-extension...

Does anyone know what's happened with this planning application? The original link in this thread says it's been removed, and the reference number doesn't give any results.

Re: Sydenham's "burgeoning" high street?
I think our high street is pretty good, but I'm not convinced it's "burgeoning"! Also, what leisure centre...?

Re: Southeastern trains to Lewisham, Cannon St ending
double capacity for customers on the Sydenham to London Bridge section Aye, that doubled capacity will be why the 0826 this morning was full and standing by Forest Hill!

Re: Diana Evans / Bell Green
There is one point where one of the characters can't get home from the West End because of a problem with the Jubilee line to connect to the Overground down to Sydenham. Why he didn't just go to Charing Cross for the train to Lower Sydenham, thus making sure he didn't let down his small child, was a...

Re: First World War air raid?
Their contact details are here: https://lewisham.gov.uk/inmyarea/history/archives
I know they're currently recruiting for staff, so I don't know how well-staffed they are at the moment or how long they'll take to answer questions!

Re: Blackbird Bakery
Blackbird's Instagram says it will be the beginning of August with a small pop up for bread, coffee and pastry whilst they finish off the rest of the shop and a garden.
It looks like the Cake Shop has been let as well, although presumably to someone else. Anyone have an idea who it might be going to?

Interesting - I wonder where they could go. It would be a pity, as it's a handy location now and has parking! (not a concern for me, but I know it is for others)

Re: Lewisham planning 400 flats for Sydenham Road
I thought it wasn't that they're actually planning them at the moment but that those are sites which have been identified for potential development. Presumably some of them are privately owned and the sellers won't want to give them up, one of the sites is the former Co-op - hasn't that just been so...

The local plan is up for consultation on Commonplace: https://lewishamlocalplan.commonplace.is Somewhat annoyingly to my mind, it splits things so that Sydenham is in with Forest Hill and Brockley as Lewisham West, but Perry Vale is split between West and South, while Bell Green, Bellingham and Sout...

Re: When did West Hill become Westwood Hill please? I've not been able to find an answer online
There was a big run of road name changes in the first half of the 20th century, stemming from London County Council, which aimed to de-duplicate road names across the LCC area. They published volumes of street names and street name changes, which aren't available online, but which give the exact dat...
