Good news for local bus passengers. Transport for London (TfL) has announced that two pairs of bus stops in central Sydenham will be fitted with dot matrix countdown indicators – visual displays which show how long it is before the next bus arrives. In 2011, the stops outside Boots and outside LA Fitness (plus the bus stops on the other side of the road) will be fitted with the new indicators.

A £4.7m scheme to improve Sydenham Road will be underway by August. Lewisham’s Mayor and Cabinet committee gave the go-ahead to the scheme on Wednesday evening (20 January), so now it’s down to the tendering and construction phases, starting with improvements to Station Approach.  And the good news is that the eastern end of the high street – from Mayow Road to Kent House Road - is also included in the revamp. The scheme will work as follows:

Cobb’s Corner to Mayow Road

  • £3.6m scheme to improve the core section of the high street.
  • This includes £310,000 to improve Sydenham Station Approach.
  • At the recent public exhibition 957 people completed comment cards. In response to the question – Do you support the proposals overall? – 89% answered yes; 6% No; 5% don’t know and 1% gave no answer.

Got an Old Mattress? Recycle, don't dump it!

 
 
 
 
6,710 old mattresses were dumped on the streets of the borough in the last five months of 2009. Now, in an effort to combat this anti-social behaviour, Lewisham Council are pioneering a new scheme  - the first of its kind in the UK - to collect old mattresses and recyle them responsibly and at no extra cost to residents. To use the free mattress recycling service:
 
  • collect a sticker from Lewisham Council's Access Point or at a local library 

  • place the sticker on the mattress 

  • put your old mattress by your bin, the night before your refuse collection day

It now seems virtually certain that the West Croydon/Crystal Palace leg of the line will launch on the 23rd May with the New Cross to Dalston section opening from the 4th April.  On the 18th January, the construction team on the ELL handed the line over to TfL. Now it’s down to TfL to complete the work of training staff, testing trains and making sure signalling systems work.
