Re: Begging outside Sainsbury's local

*John H: You take your life in your hands when you travel by public transport nowadays. So, again when challenged, no objective evidence? Only your anecdote outranks mine or noangel's?

Re: Begging outside Sainsbury's local

I agree with stuart and The Clown. If you are seriously concerned about homelessness and destitution, try to do something that helps. Seeking to vilify these people on the basis of tabloid sensationalism and the poor behaviour of a minority is nothing short of bigotry. Then you need to read back a ...

Re: Noise in Lower Syd last night

I understand the Crime and Something or other unit at Lewisham are dealing with this and have served orders on those responsible. The replacement for ASBOs was one of the notices mentioned. A CBO I believe... and a noise abatement order. I understand the police, who eventually attended, may have bee...

Re: 154-158 Sydenham Road

.....If homeowners want to form a club where they work to block new homes that's their full entitlement I just get tired of being told that this anti-housing activism is the "voice for Sydenham" when its not I agree entirely. Forming a "club" is one thing. SydSoc is a "cons...

Re: 154-158 Sydenham Road

Sivyers have shot themselves in the foot over this. They could have sold it for a good price, but with a single entrance, the only feasible buyers are Peabody, who already have an alternative access road. Hopefully, they can offer Sivyers a deal, but it won't be what Sivyers could have made 5 years...

Re: Noise in Lower Syd last night

Its just weekend revels, people unwinding in the summer after a weeks hard work. Leave them be, it's a diverse multicultural city and different cultures and the entertainment they bring should be embraced. I'd have gone along and joined in, especially if the drink was cheap. Can't beat a drink and ...

Re: 154-158 Sydenham Road

I do recall one of the entrances had been in Hillmore Grove. I believe where the drying area for the council flats is.

Re: 154-158 Sydenham Road

That would be good news... but old man Sivyer so hates Lewisham Council I wonder if he will be persuaded. He does not need this yard at all. He only keeps it to spite Lewisham because of two compulsory orders that removed the alternative entrances. That's amazing, but somehow I can still believe it...

Re: Noise in Lower Syd last night

The revellers, in the street are now gone. So too are the police. The organisers' vehicles remain blocking the entrance to Hillmore Grove. I presume they have to pack up their gear. Having done that sort of work myself I would expect striking their show to take no more than, at the very most, one ho...

Re: Noise in Lower Syd last night

A footnote. Lewisham Council can, if they choose, serve a noise abatement order on any domestic premises. They do not have to prove their case. The person on the receiving end has to go to court and seek removal of the order... which costs. Lewisham have, in the past, misused this provision in the l...

Re: Noise in Lower Syd last night

17:14 Sunday. Police now in attendance and they appear to be closing this thing down. People being sent packing. Lots of arguments in the street as the revellers try to extricate their cars... The Policemen must have courage. Two against hundreds!

Re: 154-158 Sydenham Road

Just for information in speaking to the developers they have also offered to acquire the adjacent Sivers yard with the hope of including it as part of their scheme.

Knighton Park Road's turn again this weekend. The second weekend in a row. The same house! A "professional" organiser of bothies. None of the people attending arrived with bottles... All of them were seen parading up and down with alcoholic drinks... which had to be bought, illegally, at t...

John H said There is a need for a fried chicken fast food outlet such as Kentucky Fried Chicken. Then you'll be pleased to hear that our closest KFC (Penge) serves Halal meat.
