Lewisham council`s track record is far from positive - what with this and the mess with the Greyhound

I used to think they were a progressive council - I feel they are rapidly becoming an absolute disgrace

Me too, fed up looking at it

very sad

Great news, really looking forward to the opening

I think the retail park is good for Sydenham. I use Sainsbury`s, Next, PC world and the shops and restaurants in Sydenham Road. The greatest blight on Sydenham is the mess that once was the Greyhound pub thanks to Purelake

not good!

Very worrying that they were not put off by someone being home at the time
Did the police give you any advice?

oh dear very worrying and unsettling for you!

did the house look empty or did you have lights on?

I agree with you Nigel

[Had a good look and it is an absolute mess and disgrace] I agree, absolutely shocking with boarded up retail space adding to the eyesore with no end in sight! If the original pub had been refurbished it would have made Sydenham - I would knock it down and get rid of the empty retail space. We have ...

Never had any problems with or without high heeled shoes

Update from today`s Newsshopper

a good letter dickp, we need to keep up the momentum

Love the last post, really funny

Delighted to hear Penge Coscutter is closing , disgusting looking shop.

I wish the one in Sydenham would close too. While I am no fan of Tesco at least it looks smart which Costcutter does not.

Also noticed the "Superdrug" has had a refit too which is quite nice

Are they getting rid of the ugly toilets too?

The Costcutter on Sydenham Road looked terrible, has it closed for good?

I would recommend the Urgent Care Centre at Beckenham Beacon. The triage nurse can issue prescriptions or if necessary there is a GP attached to the Centre. Lewisham Hospital should also have an urgent care centre

Sydenham Road has far too many empty shops. While I hope for more, and support existing independent retailers, Tesco is better than rows of boarded up shop fronts like all those next to the Greyhound !!
