The Dogs or crossing ?

( Sorry )...................

Thanks Mary Whilst I think the applicant is a good brand another Estate Agent is not what is needed for Sydenham to improve its vitality. Maybe Im wrong. However, as of last night no planning notice has yet appeared at the site ... the clock starts ticking as soon as a site notice appears and we are...

Another Estate Agent ? Thats just whats needed, eh !

What stance are the Sydenham Society taking on this application marymck ?

Yes Annie, It is what used to be " Roy's Cafe" , on the corner of Champion Road. I used to go there early in mornings a few times a week for breakfast in the early 90's. The owner once pulled me to one side and asked me if I was a Police Officer. When I explained I wasnt he was very please...

Permission is required to lop or fell any tree in a Conservation area regardless if it's has a TPO or not. I would recommend calling , Louis 07836 701155. He is an expert tree surgeon who can advise on the type of tree and the best remedy. He is recommended by Bromley Council tree officers. Probably...

bensonbly ,do you mean those on benefits and living in rent paid housing ? If so , of course not.

marymck Maybe the S.S. hierarchy dont like being questioned or dissagreed with and posting on this forum may leave them vunerable to both ? Only a thought, not necessarily a critiscm. I for one do not know much about the S. Society and did not know there were" Sub - committees". If you are...

If they can afford luxuries like fireworks what are they doing in social housing. No doubt they are stolen Eagle. It must be awful mikecg. I guess the yoof in question and all the others that cause trouble in your building are victims of child abuse, alcoholic parents and are not " missed"...

maybe they weren't 'missed' by anyone, ever, and maybe that's the point. Savvy, I know as you stated previously you " Dont Care " about others opinions but its interesting that your starting comment on this very sad subject seeks to defend the perpertrators of a violent crime, and you do ...

Tim, I appreciate fully what you are saying. I would add that reliance on attracting " entrepreneurs" to improve the High Street has not been exactly a success in the last 25 years that I have frequented it. Its gone backwards. The idea on this thread was for a community space serving muti...

Here's Space Makers website, if either of you (Dorian and Mosy) want to contact them. I'm rushed off my feet at the moment so haven't got time to follow it up myself. Thanks G-Man for the link. As I mentioned earlier, I would be happy to approach the owners of the property and help out with the pro...

Have done a bit of digging, with interesting results, not all of which I understand. The land was sold in 1926 by an Alfred Seager to three brothers Charles, James and William Moore. In 1971 a lease for 45 years was granted to " South Suburban Co-Operative Society Limited" ! Thats lease wa...

f I can put a possibly totally mad idea forward... I dont think its a mad idea , its a good one. The freeholder will be paying empty rates which I would imagine are not an insignificant sum and if a lease could be taken by a community entity with charitable status this would negate that issue. Prob...

I'm in agreement with michael. Cycling on pavements is wrong. Cycling the wrong way down one way roads is wrong. Cycling through red lights is wrong. All of these endanger or inconvenience pedestrians. I see this daily and would have been injured on many an occasion if I hadn't been sufficiently al...

I guess your probably right Simon. it's the Acorn marketing the pub I don't get and explaining it away as a mistake doesn't wash.

Whole thing seems very strange. If they have purchased the building , as I understand , but they are saying they need to wait and see what work requires to be done , these two statements together do not make buisness sense. I too found that statement from Antic strange. Who would buy a property wit...

At school maybe !

a) It is your suspicion that money is being diverted (and no more than that?). Where is the Audit Commission on this - as it should be their responsibility to unearth any financial fiddling? A S.106 agreement is a legal contract between the developer and Local Authority and clearly specifies what t...

Robin Orton wrote:What I'd like to know is where Eagle etc think people on benefit should live, if they are not to be given places in social housing?

Early on in this thread I said " Social Housing should be welcomed", and I have no issue with genuine benefit claimants being housed by the state.

No, I can not prove it. Much the same as Councils can not prove that the money paid as " Planning Gain" by Developers is spent on what the S.106 specifies and is "relevant" to the development. That was my point
