Livesey Memorial Hall and Delays With Berkeley Group.
Some may recall that Berkeley Group, using one of its subsidiary companies entered into dialogue with our LPA, LB Lewisham, prior to the pandemic about development proposals they were putting forward for the Livesey Hall and the gas-holder site. That seemed to come to naught. However Cllr Bell this ...

Re: St Philip Neri school: Archdiocese appeals planning enforcement order
For those of us who sat through the OLSPN PINS Planning Inquiry, it may have come as a surprise to observe the attitude of one of the Archdiocese's principal officers, Dr Simon Hughes, to the Inquiry and the Inspector herself. Some may have viewed his behaviour as edging towards being dismissive abo...

Re: Armed Criminality in Sydenham - Again
Well, yes, because there is a cost incurred by the provider in providing that service to the customer, who is the beneficiary of that service. You wouldn't expect a greengrocer to pick up the cost of providing potatoes to their customers, would you? No argument that there is a cost - but what we ha...

Re: Debit card found in Jews Walk
On the worst bank front - NatWest must score highly. Found a brand new debit card not so long ago on the road on Perry Hill. Used the contact number on the card to report the find. Multiple dead-ends on automated menu - but after some time did speak to an agent after having punched in the card numbe...

Armed Criminality in Sydenham - Again
Tragically this little patch of Sydenham is becoming a Shooter's Corner. How many times have we recently had reports of armed activity - and fatalities - in Sydenham. https://twitter.com/SthLondonPress/status/1496428636047556616?s=20&t=9flfM6IY0TxSuGjmvn8nlg https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/sydenh...

Unsurprising and unacceptable: All Lewisham schools fail to meet interim WHO air pollution guidelines
Locally, significant focus has been placed upon air quality and monitoring around Haseltine School. Parents, guardians and carers have expressed their significant concerns and worries on several media streams. In far reaching reports published in the last few days, outcomes from the Mayor of London'...

Re: OLSPN High Court hearing
Information in the public domain regarding progress appears to be virtually non-existent after the passing of the legal deadlines set for the Archdiocese to appeal the decision made by the Appeal Court to the Supreme Court in late 2021. It may take further scrutiny of the LPA planning system to esta...

Re: 24 hour working & deliveries for Trade City units, Bell Green
De-facto there are several large scale units operating on the wider retail site with traffic to and from different traders being present overnight. It is observable that a portion of the large size vehicles are EV-types with significant reduction in noise pollution being endured by residents. The sc...

Re: Covid Vaccine - Third Booster Jab
Hearing reports (some first hand) that at schools, for both pupils and staff, counts of absentees are very high. I another thread we are seeing local Royal Mail management reporting high numbers of absentees too. As always, first hand encounters are rarer - especially if you are observing any modicu...
Re: Mail
Not so long ago - or so it seems, the Christmas post was an opportunity for students to earn a little over the Christmas season.
Has that practice been stopped?
On the short term it may be expedient to resume it - perhaps to focus on the parcel mountains in our sorting offices.

Re: 154-158 Sydenham Road
Projected images look great. The website narrative starts well but then goes wildly astray with erroneous claims to access to stations many miles away.. Ideally positioned in a cul-de-sac, right off Sydenham Road, with access to Wandsworth Town, Clapham Junction and Imperial Wharf mainline stations ...

Just seen a picture of the FHSoc tree taken from a different perspective - doesn't look Photoshop'd - and could actually be the tallest of the trees.

Fake NHS Email - Scam for Omicron Test
Have just received an email purportedly from the NHS this morning (30th Nov). It offers a booking opportunity for me to order an Omicron PCR test. It stresses that vaccinated people can transmit this mutant. It infers this is new and tries to rush me by stating: Starting today you can apply for a CO...

Re: OLSPN High Court hearing
Personally, I think that Lewisham should insist on having access to safety paperwork before making any decisions. Whilst this aspiration is laudable, it is unlikely to succeed because it appears the contractor is failing in a contractual duty to the Archdiocese to provide ALL as-built drawings, O&a...
