Sydenham Town Forum

I got very upset after seeing these signs hung on the few trees on our road. Was very very relieved to come home the following day to see they had been very lightly pruned. Hope the same goes for all the other healthy trees in the area- there aren’t enough!

Hi, My husband and I will be there next Thursday.

Thanks!

Does anyone know what is happening to the red fronted old builders’ merchants a few doors down from trattoria Raffaele?
There are people on site today with a skip and it was opened up.
Would be great to see one of the many empty shop fronts on the high street back in action!

The groomer has moved and set up shop at the back of White’s pet shop further up the high street.

Went on Saturday with our dog and had lunch in the bar. Looks great inside and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I was very glad they had my favourite fevertree elderflower tonic! The food was brilliant (highly reccomend the chicken burger). Not normally that impressed by pub food but it rea...

Hi,

I think all will agree that it’s best we postpone. We don’t want any injuries! We shall find another date when things get back to normal.

I hope you are ok after your fall JMLF! I’ve had a few near misses myself!

Enjoy the snow everyone and have a good weekend

Haha It can last however long you want! (again- probably weather dependant). It’s more about people showing up and doing their bit- don’t worry I won’t make you march until the early hours :lol: I too fancy a trip to BOB! I’ll update either Friday evening or early Saturday, but I think it’s safe to ...

Hi All, For those planning on joining on the spring clean on Saturday- please note it will be CANCELLED if we continue to have ‘adverse weather conditions.’ Keep Britain Tidy are rather concerned about people’s health and safety and we won’t actually be able to see any litter in the snow! Please loo...

Great work JMLF! Thank you for all your efforts in getting this off the ground. Excited to see the proposals and for the finished product, whatever it may look like!

Hi Maria- I’m Natasha!

Hi! Yes! MANY apologies, I was meant to have been far more organised with this but have been very busy of late (no excuse, I know). The plan is to meet outside the Golden Lion Pub at 11am (simply chosen for central high street location) From there, depending on how many people, we can either split i...

Just popped in and bought some Beer! Great to see it open and looking smart! Good luck to them

Does anyone know who did the Kirkdale Mural?

Could be another option?

Hi all, Great to hear the support! It is open to all- Todlers included! I plan on bringing my dog along as it will be like one big game of fetch for him... I have created an event on the Keep Britain Tidy website. It is to take part in the Great British Spring Clean on Saturday 3rd March and I have ...

I honestly cannot believe the grief that The Poodle Club have received on this forum. As my mother always said, if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it at all. It has made me, and I'm sure others, scared to post in case I say or do the wrong thing and am subject to this trolling! It...

Apologies- thank you Sydenhamresident for your support too!

OnCrestOfHill, Sydenham and JayB- Thank you for your messages. It is nice to have some support for what is truly an important issue. :D I have to admit, I was a little scared to post on this forum having seen some previous threads! I have been on the KeepbritainTidy Website (thank you OnCrestHill!),...

Obviously it will differ from area to area but I am just looking for some help/ advice on how to improve in areas where it is an issue.

Hi, thanks for the tip. I’ve used fixmystreet before to report large items that have been fly tipped but I’m not sure how it would work with general litter. My point is that is seems to be a larger issue all over Sydenham (or at least the high street and lower end). We/ the council need to be encour...

Hi all, There is one thing that I can’t help but notice and am finding rather frustrating and upsetting and that is the vast amounts of litter on the streets. Having lived in Camberwell and Peckham for my whole life until 6 months ago, it has struck me how much worse the problem is here. From genera...
