Sydenham men aiding murderers and drug tafficers to escape convicted
Not seen reported in the national or local news media. But then there is virtually no reporting of Sydenham these days in the Newsshopper or South London Press. Two Sydenham crime bosses convicted of supplying false passports to A-list murderers, drug traffickers & dealers including Stephen Lawr...

Re: Green Chain Walk
Thanks Ian. We walked part of the Green Chain as part of TfL's Capital Ring walk which I do recommend - along with the London Loop. All change the way you look at London. Here is some combined signage for both on the Lower Sydenham/New Beckenham frontier: https://social.brainsys.com/system/media_att...

Re: Lloyds Bank gunman jailed for 10 years
So he'll be out in 3 years then? :lol: 5 years minimum. This offender may qualify for the more serious crime category in which case they must serve at least two thirds of sentence in prison: https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/sentencing-and-the-council/types-of-sentence/determinate-prison-sentenc...

Sydenham Lloyds Bank armed robber jailed for 10 years. The robbery was in its final days before being closed in February 2022. It's now the new Starbucks (sigh).

Lightopia in Crystal Palace Park gone bust
Remember how Lightopia took months to only partially reinstate the park last year? Well now they have just junked the installations littering the park - and somebody else is going to clear up the mess in what was South London's leading park. Another blow to our greatest recreation area? Story here: ...

We got delivery again on a strike day. In RM uniform this time so a strike-breaker?

Re: Sydenham DO strike breaking
We are fortunate to have two excellent posties who go the extra mile. They deserve better.
If you are not getting regular post - your issue is surely with RM management. Maybe you are experiencing similar treatment as their own staff.

Sydenham DO strike breaking
Got a Royal Mail email this morning saying a parcel would be delivered today. The surprise was it arrived. Not by our postman, not in a Royal Mail van but in an unmarked black van. I assume the Forest Hill/Sydenam DO managers hired in strike breakers who crossed picket lines. I could have waited a d...

Re: Catalytic converter thefts
Sorry to hear that.My daughter had her Honda Jazz done in Forest Hill. Ask your repairer to put on welded clamps to make it harder next time. Also park with exhaust side next to the kerb if possible. These guys will always go for the easiest cars. So that's about all you can do. Re replacement, shop...

Re: Business/industrial unit on Newlands Park - what is it?
Lots of Met. police activities at Newlands Park. Some 'secret' others very mundane. Another candidate for large business in the past might be ICL in Kangley Bridge Rd.
