Re: Licence application for gambling……
We really need some guidance from those experienced in objecting to outline the valid reasons why the planning officer/committee can decline. A moral stance against gambling is not going to cut much ice in a street already well bookmakered. Anybody here from SydSoc who could encourage them to start ...

There is a mention of it in the latest Sydenham Society Newsletter. They are looking for folks to object. You can view the newsletter online here:

Re: Bizzare Road Rage Incident - Bell Green
Plus stupid behaviour if they think they can get away with such an audience. Perhaps thinking wasn't involved. Trust the Met will nail the perps and the Tesla's insurers go after them too.

Crash on Westwood Hill
Here's a report from the Newsshopper except it is mistaken that the collision appeared to be on Westwood Hill not Lawrie Park Road. The photograph is mine taken at 1pm after our 450 bus was diverted because the section between the Kirkdale Roundabout and LPA was taped off both ways.: A woman has bee...

Re: Bell Green Cycle Crossing
Or people with respiratory issues or just want a longer life? Heroes for criminal damage and defying a decision by the democratically elected mayor? If you don't like that you can vote in May to have ULEZ removed. No, it's just gratuitous vandalism spurred on by culture war warriors. Sorry for the r...

Re: Chaos at Crystal Palace Park Road roadworks
It was moved! The power of this forum or just coincidence the day after the post after all these weeks? Great news for the 197 & 176 buses and everybody else at that junction. Hence I won't complain too much about exceeding the permitted pavement parking. Oh but from Friday the 197, 176 & 12...

Re: Bell Green Cycle Crossing
Sydenham Road at Bell Green and Kent House Road junctions have been hit overnight by the ULEZ vandals. They moved on from cutting wires or blowing them up to simply angle grind the base of the post. So good luck if you want to cross the road by foot or bike. And guess who has to pay in chaos and cou...

Re: Broken window theory
Thought this was yet more roadworks until I looked a little closer. No hole. It would appear some local flytipper has gifted Lawrie Park Gardens this present for Christmas. Lewisham Council Taxpayers will have to pay to get it carted away. https://social.brainsys.com/system/media_attachments/files/1...

No prizes for guessing which Sainsbury store this year's Christmas ad was filmed in. And customers will know it's rarely that busy - more extras than customers methinks
