Sydenham Town Forum

I understand that a lack of maintenance of the pools is the reason that they dengenerated to such a condition. That aside, It would be a real shame to lose, at least the frontage of, the building. Though with the amount of 'unknowns' at this stage, no-one could guarantee that any part of the origina...

ON THIS











sorry

I note the Woodman is now doing food. The place is getting busier and I really like it. A great place for music and socialising.

But.....FOOD.

Is it possible for you to publish food availability times and an outline menu?
Sorry to be lazy, but it would be really helpful to potential customers.

As we know, the post office at Forest Hill will move to the top floor of WHSmith on 14th February. Last Friday I actually gave up waiting in the post office as the queue was about 15 people long and moving very slowly. Yesterday i saw the upstairs of WHSmith as it is less than a fortnight away from ...

why is this being discussed here its not in sydenham wyh should we be interested its not a sydenham matter May I suggest if you are not interested in issues on your doorstep, because they are under the control of a different Authority, that you must lead a very insular life. May I also suggest, if ...

Many thanks to Oin and Pat. I had forgot to mention that Bromley had subsequently informed me of the revised opening day. I'm looking forward to it

Edited. Sorry, i was wrong with my initial assumptions. Apologies to Thames Water The lack of warning from British Gas has been highly noticeable. Warnings at each end of Dartmouth Road have completely missed those who live along the road line. People have been kept waiting at bus-stops by the girls...

went in the Woodman last night for a 'quick schnifter'. What an excellent pub it is. Good decor, good music and firendly staff. Nice beer too....

I just wanted to add that a pub quiz night for this pub may well draw in additional punters. Please?

I went for a walk at lunchtime in Crystal Palace Park and noticed a lot of activity around the Farm area. Work is well underway, so I was wondering if anyone knows when it will finally be open? I know they have missed the first deadline, and I can find no information by Googling. Does anyone have an...

There are lots of potential uses for the Bell Green site, other than a Homebase. Unfortunately, during the public inquiry we were unable to make representations about what the likely commercial outcomes would be regarding the siting of a Homebase at Bell Green. I believe there is a closer Homebase t...

Just in case no-one has noticed, the remedial works have started at the site nextdoor to Sainsburys. White sheeting has been placed around the perimeter fencing to afford some privacy. However, diggers and lorries can quite clearly be seen working away on site, carving into the huge mound of soil. T...

WTF ! I've had a few weeks away and now Miriam lodge is getting worse. Aswell as more fixed exterior lighting and perimeter walls (which again, doesn't comply with the Planning process) there are now flashing Christmas lights over the buildings. I would like to know where the suggestion that this is...

This is a glowing testamonial for Sydenham DIY at Cobbs Corner I had some carpet and underlay fitted yesterday in my flat. All was well and good until i tried to shut the front door. In Sowf Lundun speak "It weren't 'avin' it" The carpet was now too high and was rubbing on the bottom of t...

Hi George, (I hope you're managing to restrict your nocturnal visits to public open spaces) The carpet fitters weren't to blame. The carpet was higher than before because a good quality underlay was fitted (which previously wasn't there) and it was a deeper pile carpet than the original. As running ...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I'm sure ADMIN will move to the appropriate area, if necessary. This is a glowing testamonial for Sydenham DIY at Cobbs Corner I had some carpet and underlay fitted yesterday in my flat. All was well and good until i tried to shut the front door. In Sowf ...

just a few words of warning. Some less reputable clearance firms will sometimes flytip their rubbish to reduce tipping costs. If they are caught, they will be fined. If someone can identify the rubbish originating from you, (e.g. letters, old bills etc) then you will be fined also as the rubbish pro...

Thanks for your help everyone. Job Done.

So which did i go for ?..............

(3 Dartmouth Road, as it is the closest. Will give feedback if anyone is interested)

great! Retail sheds ! Why not use the ALL the land for homes rather then adding more super sized stores that are not needed as they exist locally anyway. Residential use is what was argued for by the Syd Soc in the public inquiry. The developer argued against, saying retail was all the contaminated...

Thanks nasaroc. I suggest that this information is passed on to as many friends and fellow commuters as possible, as not everyone has access to the internet. Personally, i am against axing of the loopline to Victoria and the reducing of peak hour trains to and from London Bridge. This can only be de...

The new proposals for the crossings on Sydenham Road (unveiled at the Regeneration meeting last Thursday) sound like a great improvement on what exists at the moment. ... This does sound like very good news, especially that something is likely to be done about "suicide corner" (Newlands P...
