Re: Best Breakfast in Sydenham

The cafe in Mayow Park is good but a little pricey compared to a regular greasy spoon. The quality is good though. It does get very busy so getting there early helps.

Re: Sainsbury's Bell Green

Has anyone else noticed an increase in the number of people begging outside Sainsburys? Every time I go at the moment I am also approached in the car park by people asking for money. It is a little disconcerting at times, especially when it’s dark.

Re: Power cuts

Re stock:
I have also noticed empty shelves and reduced choice at Sainsburys but had been wondering if I was imagining things.

Re rats:
I always spot them when I am walking near the flats and yes they are huge; rats on steroids!

Re: Travellers in Girton Road car park

There is a small group parked up in the Bell Green retail park car park in front of the former Toys R Us store. I think 2 caravans and 2 or 3 camper van/mobile home vehicles. Apparently they arrived last night.

Re: Kennel

How local do you want it to be? I know someone in Bexley who does home boarding for dogs. PM me if you are interested.

Power cuts

Has anyone else experienced power cuts recently? We’ve had 2 in the past week - last Friday morning and again this evening. We are in lower Sydenham.

Re: Fox in house

I think the local vixen used to use our garden as a creche; one summer she had about 6 cubs with her bouncing around all over the place. While they looked cute we didn’t feed them and actively discouraged them. I did a bit of fox proofing having researched various methods which definitely cut down o...

Re: Boarded up shop near Costcutters

I remember when it was a Thai restaurant. In those days (early 90s) we were lucky enough to have 2 brilliant Thai restaurants in the area; there was also one on Dartmouth Road. The one on Dartmouth Road was turned into a Mexican place I think. Anyone else remember this?

Re: Some sort of bar/beer shop

Did Bottle Cave open yet? I was in the East Dulwich one last weekend and the guy said it would open on Tuesday. Just driven down the high street and the shutters are down though.

Hi Sophie,

I contacted the planning officer about this. Apparently the footway will be repaired once the building works are all completed.

Thanks Prince. That is good to hear.

Re: Waste Collection

I am in total agreement about our road sweepers. In fact, if I can find out how to do it now you can’t email the environment team directly, I will let the council know.

Hurray! The food waste was collected yesterday. I haven’t had any response to my 2 complaints other than an automated reply. Thanks for the email Thorno. I’ll keep it for future. We had our 2nd fortnightly black bin collection this week. I was initially resistant to the idea of fortnightly collectio...
