Sydenham Town Forum

I would also concur with JRW's view - even though have not yet spotted the artwork. Equally have spotted that a similar gable poster site overlooking The Dolphin and which I believe belongs to the undertaker has fallen into dis-use. Perhaps an opportunity to strip the advert hoarding and paint a mur...

Is this an example of paradox or is it dichotomy ? Extract from the new decision notice, "This Council determines that prior approval IS NOT REQUIRED for the development specified in the schedule below and subject to the conditions attached therein." Completely opposite view expressed from...

Interestingly it was realised rather late in day the that the location of the Forest Hill mural was contained within the extents of the extension to the conservation area there. AFAIA Lewisham council remained silent on that matter for that location.- and that posture in itself may be viewed as the ...

They also suggested that they would prefer the plainer brick wall to the left of the “turdis” as looking at it (the southernmost part of the wall that boundaries the bridge, station platform and WC if looking on a map) to be painted. This is a much smaller wall/s (including both walls as it covers ...

Undoubtedly a well deserved break.

Take time to wind down - and don't re-engage too quickly - particularly if it is not essential.

Enjoy yourself.

Raffaele and his team - superb service, food and all delivered with warmth.

I know that some Forest hill residents received prior notification of the works on the railway.

I think they were also warned that there might be overnight working.

Now that would be really put back the green into Bell Green

Would that have to be a high level proposal ?

Micheal from FOHSoc has notified us on SE23.life that the planning application for demolition is not what it seems. It is a "Prior notification of the demolition of the two existing gasholders and ancillary buildings at Bell Green SE26." and as such notifications do not require a decision,...

So far as I know, SydSoc's remit covers SE26 postal district - ward boundaries are irrelevant. (I live in Forest Hill ward but have a SE26 postal address, and am a member of both the FH and Syd Socs.) People in the SE26 bit of Bellingham can join the Sydenham Society if they want to . Robin I welco...

leenewham - no-one is suggesting that only Bellingham ward residents can have a say - in fact the opposite has been said on many occasions and all contributors views must be respected. What is being sought here is that if SydSoc and FOHSoc want to deliberate and comment on issues in Bellingham ward ...

to draw on the support of even us deplorables that inhabit these forums. Stuart 8) It is my recall that the survivors of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in their later years dubbed themselves "The Old Contemptibles". With a nod to Robin_Orton - perhaps that's the label we should app...

A planning application has been submitted for the demolition of the locally listed gas holders at Bell Green. http://planning.lewisham.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=_LEWIS_DCAPR_94198 It has been declared by Lewisham Planning Department that they inten...

Also heard coop are wanting to build new shop in forest hill (old portacabin site) near current shop as meant to be sold on? Interesting variation - FOHSoc held a meeting to advise locals that they had foresight of the existing site owners of the co-op's proposal to redevelop it into a hotel. This ...

Within a week or so a good and conscientious councillor will have at least responded with an acknowledgement of your correspondence. Some flexibility is needed - they do go on leave and do have other roles and demands in their lives - as we all do in the round. At two to three weeks if neither a ful...

Was standing in Bellingham Green last night around 9:00pm.

Saw laser lights appearing to paint circles in the sky through clouds. They did seem to be in the general direction of Crystal Palace.

Thank you decchips

Glad you feel that - in your humble opinion.

And thus it ever was - and is. First broadcast on The Frost Report on 7 April 1966. It has been described as a "genuinely timeless sketch, ingeniously satirising the British class system" It was written by Marty Feldman and John Law, and features John Cleese, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbe...

Thank you for that advice Robin. FOHSoc publish their constitution on their web-site - and that makes for an interesting read. It additionally demonstrates that civic bodies need to achieve a higher level of conformity to their own constitutions. At risk of repetition - SydSoc do not publish their c...

Very good progress on so many fronts Jon.

Any feedback from Lewisham on the Conservation Area boundary matter ?

Hope to attend the meeting in The Dolphin
