Re: Sydenham Market is back on 2nd Saturday of the month

The successful markets mentioned rely on food. People will come and buy food (it's nice if they can sit and eat it too). Unfortunately, the Horniman is a big competitor for food traders and it provides them with a pitch every week, coinciding with the monthly market in Sydenham. I'd suggest making t...

Re: Water Leak - Perry Rise - Road Closed

Still a big hole in the road. Still little activity on 'site'. We still have a car every minute coming down our road... No info from anyone regarding it either. https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xlt1/v/t1.0-9/12809779_10153274923870940_3933355310508799052_n.jpg?oh=f074ae0c9522dceed0e290c2...

Re: Water Leak - Perry Rise - Road Closed

Still shut. Seems to have developed into a gas leak.

Re: Property values in Sydenham

I'm not sure I really have an issue with a tower in Catford. But have you seen it? Over in Croydon, they built a huge tower that can be seen for miles around. It's quite an impressive beast. Whereas it looks like Catford will be getting something that looks like student accommodation. The stuff they...

Re: The Bridge Leisure Centre

I used to take my son there for swimming from 6 months old. But we were never sure if there would be a lesson, because if there weren't enough people (3) the lesson would be cancelled. Therefore, people often wouldn't bother, so it was more likely to be cancelled. Add to that pool issues and staff s...

Re: Water Leak - Perry Rise - Road Closed

I think they only brought three traffic lights, so they have to put that one down to one so everyone can see the lights. Otherwise, they could have coned off an area very easily at night.

Re: Water Leak - Perry Rise - Road Closed

Complete chaos there today, as there are now temporary traffic lights and all approaches are down to one lane for no apparent reason (other than a shortage of temporary lights I presume). Tailbacks stretching as far as the eye can see towards Sydenham and queues to enter Sainsbury's by the garage. S...

Re: Water Leak - Perry Rise - Road Closed

There is a no left turn. I was told it was so pedestrians had a chance to cross. It is quite tight too. Very few cars actually do our rat run to turn left though. Presumably, they go a different route. I'd say 95% or more of the traffic turns right at the bottom of Lescombe Road. Sorry to hear about...

Re: Water Leak - Perry Rise - Road Closed

Yeah. Our quiet little road is under constant pressure, just from there being traffic lights at the junction. They turn left into Priestfield, right into Lescombe and then right again onto Perry Hill, just to avoid driving down the road and turning right at the lghts. I think the last traffic count ...

Re: Water Leak - Perry Rise - Road Closed

Afraid not. I passed again a little later and it was gushing, so I think it must depend on the pressure.

Re: Water Leak - Perry Rise - Road Closed

Still leaking, but no workers anymore. Just a hole. Which sometimes bubbles water. Quite a nice water feature tbh.

Re: Bin removal

I've been composting since I moved in, in 2009. The bin is still only half full. Or empty. Depending on your outlook. Had to buy the compost bin myself mind you.

Re: Bin removal

No idea what it's like there, but round my way, bin day is like some sort of assault course for pushchairs. That's the way the binmen, working on behalf of the council leave it. No idea what it's like for people in wheelchairs. I presume they rarely go anywhere anyway, because of all the cars parked...

Water Leak - Perry Rise - Road Closed

Road closed at the bottom of Perry Rise because of a water leak. Traffic cannot enter the traffic lights at the junction with Perry Hill from Perry Rise. Should be interesting come home time. https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xat1/v/t1.0-0/p526x296/10672375_10153247951230940_1534230478581...
