Spot on. Especially for the old stock (pre 1930's). Some lovely houses Sydenham/Penge way. The better Victorian /Edwardian builds in East Dulwich are areas closer to the village on the Estate (Druce, Desenfans) but even then they are smaller than Sydenham's finest.

You?re too right Faser, it is about time for some REAL naming and shaming rather than plain scapegoating but unfortunately it may just be wishful thinking, I will dig deeper and try to find out some names though.


With regards the number of flats, I suppose the council was trying to throw everything, and the kitchen sink, at the enquiry in an attempt to have WGH demolished. Shows how much they actually care about housing and how much they care for personal vendettas! Especially when it was them who were deceptive when they sold it and them who gave planning permission for the mass and structure of WGH with full knowledge of its impact and position with regards the concrete house.


PS: I don?t think you?re at all far off with the lining pockets theory, Southwark council has it written all over them.

I'd hope this is untrue, but having protested against some illegal, unauthorised building work that happened in ED (for which retrospective planning applications have been refused), sometimes you have to ask yourself what exactly is going on here. Rules are breached, council point this out, planning applications are submited retrospectively, they are refused, structure still stands, neighbours all complain, freeholder in question makes an appeal., that is refused, building still stands. It can FEEL like Southwark have no spine or are on the take.

    • I wonder how much the rebranding is costing in total?  Could the money be used in a better way ? 
    • It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.
    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.  
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
