Our Lady & St Philip Neri School re-build

Sydenham Society will present a motion to the Sydenham Assembly at the meeting tonight, 7pm – 9pm, Wednesday 13 June at Sydenham Centre, 44a Sydenham Road, London SE26 5QX.

The Sydenham Assembly calls for a public meeting to be held well before the start of the school summer holiday to discuss the rebuilding of the school.

The building has not been constructed in accordance with the planning permission granted in 2016, yet it has been occupied by children and staff. It should be re-built strictly in line with the original planning permission even if this means substantial reconstruction.

The public meeting should be held in accordance with the Statement of Community Involvement (as set out in the Lewisham Development Framework) and all stakeholders (local residents, the school, councillors, the developers and relevant officers from Lewisham Council) should be present.

The Greyhound ready for summer

Our beloved pub The Greyhound continues to blossom under the management of Monty and his team, with the arrival of the outdoor seating and planters all ready for the summer.

The pub has enjoyed spectacular success since it opened, filling to capacity on several weekends. If you’ve yet to visit the pub, make sure you phone ahead and try it out this Bank Holiday. https://www.thegreyhoundsydenham.co.uk/ 

Congratulations to team there who have made all the local campaigning to get the pub rebuilt well worthwhile.
