I think its a bit hypocritical for the following to object a small convenience store for a PUB "the prevention of crime and disorder public safety the prevention of public nuisance the protection of children from harm" In my eyes as a very local resident the pub is more off putting due to ...

As an fyi for everyone Sainsbury's are not planning to open a Local at The Greyhound anymore.

I am delighted to see other locals getting irritated by this issue as the school is growing and will do in the future thanks to the school place shortage - some classes in Kelvin Grove have 3 classes per year and that is set to be a standard for them I believe which in turn means more parents drivin...

I have to agree with jonekt about this - I've only just found out about this - granted its no ones fault apart from mine for being busy but I am very interested in taking part. I never saw any invite emails for newsletter subscribers so maybe that was a missed opportunity this time. Hopefully as thi...

I was surprised to see a near duplicate article in The Sun today and I was a bit infuriated with this article - all I'm hearing is Money money money £££! This is the worst part of the article "Ms Lee is now looking for legal help, claiming police treated her mum in an offhand way, not apologisi...

This incident happened right outside where I live yesterday and I heard a motorcycle prior to the crash (but that may be a coincidence) then the large crash which sounded as if the police car over turned around 3 times by the sound of it and position the police car landed in as it was off the ground...

I very much agree with you Michael. All I thought when I read why Bell Green was included I thought, oh because its a major develop its best to include rather than compete with it. I think that if you will exclude Kirkdale then Bell Green should be excluded as previously said Bell Green is in Downha...

For a start I love the site, its really great but one thing niggled me a little. I am at a lost at why Kirkdale is not on the site as the graphic at the top says Sydenham Smiles all the way from Cobbs Corner all the way down to Bell Green.. don't we smile up here in Kirkdale? I do think that regardl...

I live next to the school on Kirkdale and must say that I am not a great fan of the expansion plan. I would like to add my 2 cents on this one.. 1. The traffic on Kirkdale is a major issue as the council are completely unable to think of a suitable way of sorting the road. I think that additional pa...

I'm pretty sure I saw a new 'To Let' sign hanging from the scaffolding the other morning to the entrance of Halifax Street.

Not sure if it is new due to planning permission not going Wooster's way.

I know most of you are aware that Homebase is opening in the Bell Green Phase 2 development but I have come across a confirmed tenant list and scheme overview for Phase 3 from DTZ (Commercial estate agents) To quote their site: Unit 1 : Toys R Us, 20,000 sq ft Unit 2 : Pets at Home, 10,000 sq ft Uni...

Hi all, I have a small business but have found that I am in need of new offices/creative space in SE London. Being a local and proud of coming from this part of South London I wanted to stay in the area but I have found that other than the office block at Cobbs Corner there is a real lack of office ...

I noticed when walking past Tesco tonight that next to Perfucare there is a new Bakery opening. I purely noticed by chance of looking up and noticing the sign. The website was on the sign - http://labonnebakery.com/ I am really looking forward to this shop if it is a nice bakery as Slatters quite a ...

Lee i am once again amazed how little things can change the appearance of a building.

I was looking at the naborhood centre you did and i was thinking the exact same that musti's needs a revamp exterior wise (not talking about fire damage)

Great job, cannot wait to see more!

no these incidents are just purely coincidental usually this point of kirkdale is quiet

On monday a police car hit a mercedes car that mounted the curb and never hit the lamp post what happened was that the cars front left wheel got ripped out from under the car as the police car was smashed up outside my flats. Plus the incident before was joy riding teenagers crashed a car into some ...

young drivers and road safety. Hi everyone, i am doing a speech package for my school radio station about young drivers and road safety and if the road safety campaigns work. I was wondering if any one on the forum has been affected by a young driver e.g. was in a accident etc.. and they would allow...

I live opposite Kirkdale learning centre and every week once or twice a week i have a large Nisa lorry then another smaller Nisa lorry unload in front of my property, i do not like it but i have learnt to deal with it, that will be the same case with Tesco (but atleast Tesco will have it's own loadi...

Hi all, I was pleased to receive the Sydenham Community Radio Newsletter yesterday and began to think that we need a logo. To bring this great Sydenham Radio Project to life we should have a logo that makes the project look official and bring it to life. So I took the liberty to design some logos qu...
