Don’t miss the launch of our third Sydenham Fun Palace on Saturday 2nd October. We start at 11am with the Lewisham Mayoresses welcome - this is followed by the Sydenham Assembly. Join in the fun at the Sydenham Cemtre - next to the Post Office.

We are launching the Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy (NCIL) Fund - this is an allocation of funding from various planning schemes and amounts to £88,084 available local projects that will benefit residents of Sydenham. Please join the market place to talk to local organisations that could benefit from the funding and suggest a project that you think will benefit the area.

We end the morning with a musical set from Sydenham School.

In the afternoon we have free taster workshops - 2pm Hoola Hooping with Planet Hoop, 3pm Learn Icelandic with Imke and 4pm Glasswork with Pippa Stacey. We finish the day at 5pm.

Did not realise there was a formal Sydenham Assembly element to Saturday's event.

I wish everyone the best for it and hope it is a success to be enjoyed by all.

On the note Cllr Best makes about an update being provided on the formation of "Bell Green Neighbourhood Forum" - Sydenham residents should be made aware of the existence of a counter-proposal from residents within Bellingham Ward. The objectives of Bellingham's counter-proposal are radically different and have been articulated in some detail.

The Bellingham Ward residents-led group is named the Bell Green Action Group for the meantime - and as is stated on the website - that may alter as events progress.

Details can be seen at:

https://bell-green.org

It is noteworthy that Bellingham Ward is being advised by Lewisham Council that Ward Assemblies are NOT to be conducted at the moment. This was confirmed by Council Officers in writing when we asked about why Bellingham Ward has not had one convened by the Council since February 2020.
