Looks like cars are being moved from Tredown Road by truck...if anyone is missing a silver Corsa, one has just been deposited on Maitland Road. Only the one car - the car parked in the 'Car Club' space. It actually hasn't been all that painful - more notice would have been nice, but I was expecting...

Tomorrow's going to be a lot of fun. We were informed on Friday afternoon that there would be no parking or unloading or anything between 8am and 5pm on Monday. We're on Tredown Rd. So all the cars on our street will have to find somewhere else to park themselves... Agree! Nothing like last minute ...

Would it be possible to have a CPZ covering both the Lewisham and Bromley parts of the roads between Sydenham and Penge East? Those roads are used by commuter parkers, I can identify several. New double yellow lines are appearing on the junction between which will reduce spaces even further, but at ...

Thanks Rachel. Everyone seems to love their Amtico or Karndean floors! Just felt the installation costs are pricey but perhaps it is worth it.

Cheers,
Sue

And recommendations on where to source a granite or quartz kitchen worktop? We have a couple of (eye-watering ) quotes and wondered if anyone had a personal recommendation.

Additionally, anyone had much experience with Amtico floors? Are they worth the considerable outlay?!

Many thanks!

Yes that's right, families should not be allowed in pubs on the weekend for a quiet Sunday lunch. All children scream, all the time. Jeez, stay in the Dolphin if you don't like children.

Surprise surprise the issue of kids in pubs comes up again. I really don't see what the problem is. Sydenham is crying out for a family - friendly pub where we can have a relaxed Sunday lunch with our children or a weekday morning/lunchtime parent-baby/toddler group can meet and therefore boost the ...

Kelvin Grove School run Forest School for all Reception Year children... it's brilliant!

Sunday sees the introduction of the summer railway timetable. It includes the reinstatement of the majority of the withdrawn evening peak services between London Bridge and West Croydon - see page 25 (electronic page 13) of http://www.southernrailway.com/download/33961.2/timetable-summer-2015/ Let'...

The double yellows on the Tredown / Newlands Park junction were installed by Lewisham council because the dangerous nature of that spot was brought to their attention by local residents. Ok, it took a while (over a year) but action was taken. Whatever other actions might be considered re CPR, it mu...

I live on a corner (Newlands park / Tredown road) and we have double yellows around the junction on both roads. I assumed this was consistent and the law. Parking is bad enough but safety is paramount. I cannot believe that people park as per the pictures. Well they do on Tredown and Homecroft corn...

We're really happy with Kelvin Grove. The head and teachers are great and our son is doing well there.
We're on Sydenham/Penge border.... Not many close schools to choose from but the walk is good exercise

Southern are tweeting that the temporary reduction of evening services is being extended until this Friday. I imagine the same thing will happen again for next week... and the next.
Agree we need extra Overground services to compensate.

There are now only 3 tracks into LB for Southern trains instead of 6. A couple of morning trains were removed in the new year, including the one I used to get at 6.48. The morning train I now get has been late all week. But the evening is so congested with trains and not enough track that the soluti...

16.36 London Bridge to West Croydon 17.06 London Bridge to West Croydon 17.38 London Bridge to West Croydon 18.06 London Bridge to West Croydon 18.36 London Bridge to West Croydon Actually It's HALF of all services to Sydenham from LB during the above time period, leaving us with a half hourly servi...

I've seen flyers for clubs at Crystal Palace Academy (Kickstarters) and something at St Dunstan's College.
Also Fit For Sport runs at Holy Trinity School and Dulwich College Sports Centre.

We use LMS Gas in Forest Hill. Mel is really nice and we've always been happy with their work.

http://www.southernrailway.com/southern/news/important-information-southern-services-amended-from-january-2015/ From the .pdf on here there are many Southern train changes from Jan 2015. I've already spotted that my 6.48 to London Bridge (i.e. the 6.19 from Victoria) will no longer reach Sydenham. A...

Yes Lewisham manage the road upkeep (or not, as the case is at the moment) but we on the south side pay Bromley council tax etc. Parking on Byne and Wiverton can be very tricky but I don't know if that is station parking or just the sheer number of homes. I'd also like to see a 20mph zone around her...
