Re: Baxters Field
Off to Papua New Guinea on Wednesday for three months so no time to contact anyone at present - what started
off as, I feel, a justified point of view, seems to have offended many people. but I stick to my guns.
Goalposts before willow walks.

Re: Baxters Field
Is this the Paul Upex that was out there planting the trees with Friends of Baxters Field? You have one of the most beautiful nature trails in south-east London not a five minute walk from Baxters Field - its called Sydenham Hill Woods. I feel that if public money is going to be spent on Baxters Fie...

Re: Baxters Field
Not joking Robin and have lived here for years. Maybe not always as pristine as you would have
liked but certainly never scruffy not as Millenium Green used to be. Baxters was never used as a
dumping ground although I do remember the furore about two people who pitched a tent there!!

Re: Baxters Field
Louisecbrooks - Why on earth should I get involved with Baxters Field, that dosent make any sense at all. Why should anyone get involved with a park that serves the local community very well? I can express an opinion without having to get into get involved with a project that I find ridiculous! As f...

Re: Baxters Field
Activity trail would be great - just what the kids need. I fear that we would soon see signs going up such as "dogs must be kept on a lead" and "no games allowed". Ask the local kids what they want and it wont be willow walks and beds of herbs. AGM's and steering committees! Real...

Re: Baxters Field
Yes Michael it is all the great ideas they have that I object to - leave it as it is. I have already filled in the survey and suggested goal posts but I think it will fall on deaf ears. The area is for local children and those from the local estate who have no gardens to play in and I dont like the ...

Baxters Field
I have lived in Sydenham for years and used Baxters Fields for walking dogs and taking my children to the swing park. I like the fact that children from the nearby estate can go there to play football or hang out with friends. I would have preferred it if Friends of Baxters Field instead of planting...

Re: Man with 2 dogs off lead
Stuart, I can go one better than garlic and locked doors. I have two live-in walkers on chains.
Hope you watch The Walking Dead or that's wasted!

Re: Is there ever any good news for Sydenham.?
Thanks a million gillyjp for planting those flowers - why cant we all do this instead of moaning? I bought a box of eight pansies for £1.99 last week, not really breaking the bank is it. Lets all buy a box and do a bit of gardening around the area - I claim my patch will be the two fairly young tree...

Angry Woman
On two occasions now we have recently had the misfortune of a woman screaming abuse at us in Baxters Field whilst walking our dog, who I might add had done absolutely nothing wrong. She, herself has a black dog, a lovely little thing. We have spoken to other dog owners and several of them have had s...

Re: Mr Smith's Club
Mr Smiths was nearly opposite the old Prendegast Girls School - maybe a bit further towards Catford. I believe it then became The Witchdoctor and then The Savoy - both nightclubs or discos as they were known back in the day, but with a younger clientele. The building still remains. I went there myse...
