Hi all, I’m in the planning process of setting up a free film festival in Forest Hill and Sydenham and I’m looking for volunteers to help setup, run and manage the festival.

This is a once monthly event at Bricklayers Arms - second to last Friday of the month.
Sounds good. CD sets aren't anywhere near as good as the sound is compressed.

Re: The Windmill that used to stand in Mill Gardens

Just to update all this, many years on.. The book is now published and includes pretty much what I believe to be the story of Sydenham Windmill. Ironically that story begins in 1626 in an adjoining county. It's all in the book, as are the histories of 45 other South London/NW Kent windmills. Apolog...

Re: Rebuild the Greyhound Pub Campaign #rebuildthegreyhound

Could - I'm just throwing an idea here - the Greyhound be rebuilt in the units under the flats with exact tiles and features etc and have a cool garden out front for patrons? Then you would have the units filled, eyesore in its present state removed and a garden. Just an idea off the top of my head.

Re: VIBRANT HIGH STREET

Another thing that needs to be addressed is the daily addition of pigeon droppings in shop entrances. Maybe netting over the whole of the flats above the shops would help.

Re: Taxi's parking on Mayow Road

I am horrified . Parking on pavement , double parking and public urination. This is leafy Mayow Road , home to the gentry . Where are the Police. All these offences deserve at instant ban. Perhaps Councillors could get Police involved. Does that include Shifford Path? If someone uses a camera then ...

Re: VIBRANT HIGH STREET

Yes, they pay I think its £5.00 to the parish council who draw up a map of the village and where the garage sales are, then the public pay £2.00 to the parish council for the completed map, all the money made on the maps goes to the hall. A great idea I thought, it also helps get to know each other...

Re: Bakerloo extension - Lower Sydenham transformed

I just wish these schemes would be carried out sooner rather than later. Crossrail is many billions more than it would have cost when mooted during the 1980s. In real, inflation adjusted terms, or just as in £100bn is more than £1bn? In real inflation adjusted terms. £330,000,000 compared to £15,00...
