Re: how to get out of this mess

I was in the lower Sydenham Sainsbury's a little earlier today and OMG the amount of people wheezing, coughing and not wearing masks was just surreal , if this new strain is much more infectious then I hope the mythical person in the sky (What ever god you believe in) will help us as knowing people...

Re: how to get out of this mess

FYI new covid is 10-100 times more infectious, no one knows the true number at this point. In simple terms 1 person with new covid is like 10 - 100 people with old covid breathing and coughing in your personal space. Not only are there more particles they are more easily attached to receptors. This ...

Re: The Run-in to Christmas 2020

You are not going to catch covid 19 while out in sydenham high street but avoid health care establishments at all costs But there is a steep rise in infections that are happening around us.

Re: The Run-in to Christmas 2020

Please do all be careful. I've just had a look at the Govt. website, which is showing parts of Sydenham as having - if I've read it correctly - over 400 cases per 100,000 head of population. That is horrendous. You’re absolutely right its now taking hold in Sydenham. On twitter there are no UK ment...

Air pollution

Evening all, Well just when I thought i couldn’t be less impressed with Lewisham Councillors I read this. A child died cause the council didn't treat the air pollution as a emergency but they waste no time ensuring that the posh streets have traffic control. This proves JRW is right to hold the coun...

Re: St Philip Neri school: Archdiocese appeals planning enforcement order

I find it a worry, personally, that council members are unaware of the £6.1m endowment, and that officers of C&YP are so determined to keep it secret that even high level members aren't being told. Yes, public money, approved by mayor and cabinet, but the conditions unknown, and signed off by o...

Re: St Philip Neri school: Archdiocese appeals planning enforcement order

That is the opinion expressed in the Archdiocese’s statement. I'm being ultra cautious about quoting, because of previous events. As Lewisham also only got the final version a couple of hours ago, I expect it will be uploaded on the planning database in a few days time. I hope everyone reads them, ...

Re: Masks

Syd, what is new about that study's findings please? What date was it published? It's been known for ages that typical blue masks will keep out the virus to about 60% as do double layer home-made cotton masks, that inhaling fewer droplets usually leads to milder symptoms, and that being in contact ...

Re: Does Lewisham Council take it constituents support for granted?

Labour have 54 out of 54 seats on Lewisham council, and got 60% of the vote in 2018: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Lewisham_London_Borough_Council_election (i.e. it's unlikely they feel the need to bung money to certain areas to get more voters!)

Re: Masks

Yes Robin Orton, it does seem odd that a recorded message would not implore or remind people to wear their masks over nose and mouth for the duration of their journey on a bus where distancing is impossible at times. At one time and generally, we were told not to touch masks once in place or risk t...

Re: Does Lewisham Council take it constituents support for granted?

I totally agree but i dont thinks its overlooked i think its a deliberate act to use our council tax to smarten up the areas where new voters move into to ensure they keep voting labour. ‪ This is an interesting comment; where are these areas in your view?

Re: St Philip Neri school: Archdiocese appeals planning enforcement order

They must be held to account and I applaud Julia for trying to do this.
Me too!!

My jaw dropped when I first saw the monstrosity, If i was the council representative Id be embarrassed and be the first person in the queue to get this resolved.
