Sydenham Town Forum

Greg, It would be great if you can make it for one pint at 7pm. I would be interested in talking to you a bit re sydenham. alot is going on behind the "scenes" that you may be interested in, and I would also like to hear your take on some "initiatives" that are happening. I agree...

I have a feel the South East tube station is a reference to Sydenham becoming an ELL "London Overground" Station. IMHO a Tesco is an opportunity for a local merchant to specialise in products and not have to carry "everything". A smaller independent could be come a cheese and bre...

So, who is actually attending tomorrow evening?

Or should I say, who am i drinking with?

As I understand from the realtor, several offers have been made and a decision may be made next week by Royal Mail. I think there is one bid in that would be good for the community......................

I'll keep you posted...

IF the sorting office was to be bought for local use and the main area was intended to be used as a market / event / exhibition hall, what would people be interested in seeing, here is a quick list of my thoughts: Mum and Baby groups Scouts Youth group Sydenham Radio Local business center advice Of...

it raises the difficult question of money to make a used park better

or


To make a un-used park more attractive and "usable"

I don't know the answer, but hopefully we get both

Apologies for the 10 comment, I added the four 2 bedroom flats from longton to the six, 1 bed flats for this development. :oops: There is no need to object as the permission has already been refused. The reasons range from The design of the proposal, by reason of its bulk, siting and mass and being ...

The newlands property is the one behind the small off license at the light and between Homecroft. Opposite and back a bit from the ladbrokes. While I would like to see it used, 10 flats is ridiculous in that space. BTW, anyone interested in going halfsies or 25% on the sorting office??? PM me... Ser...

I have not been to Jay's, but I feel the need to agree with with Castiron73 about Woodfalls. I had the frame break on a pair of sunglasses (which I didn't buy there) and took them in to see if they were under warranty. They called the distributer and found out they are no longer being sold and that ...

One can hope - The hope is to have some local investors contribute to the purchase of the Property as part of a Not-for-Profit company. In my Vison it would have a restaurant space let to an independent / local restaurant, market hall/exhibition space and Coffee Bar in the "mezzanine". All...

Well, I am trying to find investors, anybody has ideas, let me know. I am more than willing to help manage the project. PM me if interested...

This property was proposed to the council to be used as a potential market hall/ event gallery / community space. As it is not owned by the council, they are also not interested in purchasing (last I heard). also, this property had an exchanged contract for over £1million. This contract was dropped ...

I am up for it, but I can't make the first or second weekend in October. Sorry I missed the last one! I don't think a group of people would have a problem at the Two Halfs, I have been in there only once, but it was fine. Most of the problems I see are from the people that drink on the bench in fron...

Afternoon Fishcox, Pizza Express use to operate as a franchise. They no longer operate that way in the UK or Ireland, Franchising is available if outside of the UK. Some of the others do operate as a franchise, however, maybe they have someone who wants to open a franchise but is searching for a loc...

NATBEUK, I agree with many of your comments, as well as several others that have posted on this thread. Apologies for my lack of presence lately but I have been away for 3 weeks or so... I have written to Pizza express, Giraffe and Tragus restaurants regarding this property. I have yet to receive a ...

as far as the traders making an investment in the high street, several are looking to do just that. They (we) are also in the process or re-establishing / re-energising a Sydenham Traders Association that will help give the traders a "stronger" voice towards the council as well as the abil...

I agree! I generally take extra bags with me when going to the park with my dog and doing a "collection" as I walk. Not only does it feel like a good deed, but it also ensures my children do not step in "it". I also tend to pick up the litter along the path as I walk. any little ...

Thank you all for the information. As for Pride & Joy thinking I am miserable and should grow up, part of this forum's purpose is to ask questions and opinions. I am far from miserable and am amused that you consider asking a question to be spreading "discontent" through the neighborho...

I apologise in advance, but this is a long one..... please bear with it... I agree completely that a local symbol and greening Cobb's corner are WELL within Lewishams capabilities. If they have to review their current policy, I am confident that more Pro's will be made apparent than cons by the comm...

The "why the council cannot do this" is the council response, not mine, I find each "no" to be unreasonable as this is what a large majority of people want. The council works for the voters and should adapt adjust policies in a reasonable manner. Many of the action points were re...
