Sydenham Town Forum

"I have fond memory of being in some of the roughest pubs in london where you could snort coke off the bar and buy a Deasert Eagle if you wanted"

Hilarious - love it!

Would it not be better to get the police to enforce the laws to deal with the "drug taking and antisocial behaviour" ?

This is the last thing Sydenham High Street needs right now!

Thanks for pointing this out , I have emailed my objection to Lewisham Council.

Had a fab day out on Sunday thanks to ELL. Brick Lane was buzzing, I had not visited for over 30 years, went on to Columbia Road and got some great bargains just as the flower market was closing. As the trains are so frequent the journey both ways was effortless By the way, the Evening Standard toni...

I would also like to add my appreciation of your excellent ideas leenewham they are quite uplifting and inspirational - keep up the good work

That is brilliant news !

I completely agree with you Leenewham. The shop signage says everything about an area. The Council should pull the owners up for such ugly eyesores. I get really angry every time I have to look at them.

If it was your GP giving bad treatment/advice we would not h...

Love the last 2 posts, very funny, made me laugh out loud!!

The police helicopters seem to be over us every night at the same time. When my husband phoned up to complain a couple of months ago,it stopped for a few days, we suspect this is a police helicopter training exercise.

Somehow I don`t think London City Rich Boys will be rushing to buy a flat in Sydenham just yet!!

My husband has just informed me that when he was in the DIY, just over the bridge, today a man in a wooly hat about 50 years of age, was complaining bitterly about the Sydenham Society and our support for the improvements to Sydenham Road. "What about the poor pedestrians?" he was exclaimi...

Does anyone think it's worth leafleting the area to let non-forum users know about the new petition and making them aware of the threat posed by the No10 petition? I could have predicted this would happen. There are always people who oppose any change. Look at the plans for Crystal Palace Park !! S...
