Is the one opposite the Golden Lion open? I think it's the best in the area. Although it's not exactly up against stiff opposition.

Lee, you are absolutely right to point out that Home Park is severely underutilised and would benefit greatly from some investment. I have always thought this was the case whenever I have walked past on a summer's day to see few, if any, people in the park. Although it should be said it would take n...

It is no doubt true that some people have moved from Fairlawn Park due to the anti-social behaviour of a minority of the streets residents and their friends. But many more have moved because they have reached an age were they wish to live closer to other family members, or just relocate and retire t...

I'm not defending those kids. But I would be pretty pi**ed off if I was a young lad with the way I'm treated by us lot. Its hardly surprising when in return they show us no favours. The first Sydenham Assembly noted the lack and removal of youth activities in our Town. We need to do something about...

Actually Paddy, you are defending them. Nothing too wrong in that. We'll send them around to Venner Road. Which end of the road are you at? Wouldn't want you to miss out!

Jessie, I can only sympathise with your situation. The sad fact is there's little or nothing that can or will be done about this anti-social behaviour, or at least nothing that will have any effect on the youths involved. As a fellow resident of Fairlawn Park I am familiar with the individuals you s...

Came across this item for sale on ebay.

Have half a mind to put in a bid... but then I've only half a mind. Still, might look good in the garden.

My neighbour has just put her 2 bed flat toward the top of Fairlawn Park on the market - asking price £215K. She's retiring back to her home country. Here is the link if you wanted to take a look. Not a big flat, but nice. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-9930240.rsp?pa_n=1&tr_t=buy Neighb...

They'll happily cut wooden shelves to your own design/size and deliver them locally! An excellent local store.

Lee, I have lived in Fairlawn Park Road for over six years. I agree with all the previous comments. I am not aware of any structural problems with the houses. A neighbour of mine (in his 50s) who has lived on the street all his life told me that the houses on the street were not all built at one tim...
