"The desire for a #BellGreenNeighbourhoodForum grew out of the public consultation over previous work by @SydenhamSociety & @d__architecture on how Bell Green could look in the future" Now @BGNF_Lewisham can be formally recognised bellgreenneighbourhoodforum.co.uk/about/ consultation.lewisham.gov.uk/planning/bellg…

Good news for Sydenham residents now that @MayorofLondon and @TfL have signed a new operator for the Windrush Line, with more frequent trains increasing to 18 trains per hour through the core section geograph.org.uk/profile/34298

@WilliamSheehy1 The combined Bell Green Forum & @SydenhamSociety team demonstrated Barratt’s failure to submit a coherent proposal, but were unsuccessful. The meeting was shambolic, and it was approved without discussing conditions. It's a compelling webcast. #planning lewisham.public-i.tv/core/portal/we…

Last night, we attended the Mayor of Lewisham Community Awards ceremony, having been nominated for our work in the community. Many thanks to @Brenda_Dacres, the event organisers and the nominators. #LewishamCommunityAwards24 #litter #rubbish #se26 #sydenham #bellgreen

The Livesey Memorial Hall was built in tribute to George Livesey and the bricks were made in the gasworks that once surrounded the site. The Grade 2 listed building, perimeter wall and war memorial in the grounds are under threat from neglect. #se26 #heritage #architecture

Lewisham is recommending approval on 24 Sep for Barratts to build these tower blocks in Bell Green up to 14 storeys high. Please contact Perry Hill councillors asking them to refuse permission: Sakina.Sheikh@lewisham.gov.uk john@paschoud.org.uk susan.wise@lewisham.gov.uk

A park with a (Skyscraper) view. Why we can no longer call it urban regeneration. (In Italian) @d__architecture @SydenhamSociety @BGNF_Lewisham @SGasworks @OurBellGreen @si_mccormack

Superloop 2-proposal Mind that the "Elephant & Castle- Lewisham" branch follows exactly what the Bakerloo Line Extension could be in the future. #BackTheBakerloo @SydenhamSociety @SGasworks @BGNF_Lewisham @BellgreenF18770 @OurBellGreen @si_mccormack @d__architecture

Planning meeting for the Bell Green Gasholders site redevelopment by Barratt London. Tuesday 26th March 7.30 to 9pm at St Michael & All Angels Church, Champion Crescent #SE26. Come and ask your questions. #Lewisham #Bellingham #PerryVale #Sydenham #Livesey @LewishamCouncil #SE6

@brunotonelli We've just got a notification for the public meeting for @Barratt_London application, Bell Green Works. It's Tuesday 26th March 2024 from 7:30pm to 9pm at St Michael's & all Angels Church, Champion Crescent. #SE26 #SE6 #Bellingham #PerryVale #Sydenham #gasholders #gasworks

When asked what he thinks of the UK’s major housing developers, such as Persimmon, Taylor Wimpey and Barratt, Smales grins. “I can’t say good luck to them – their model needs to be outcompeted and displaced,” he says. “We aim to show that living sustainably can be a joy.”

The Bakerloo Line Upgrade and Extension would be transformative for Lewisham and London. A new report out today shows how it could improve connectivity, drive growth and unlock housing. #BacktheBakerloo centrallondonforward.gov.uk/wp-content/upl…

@Brenda_Dacres #BacktheBakerloo

Here is said retail park. Thousands of car park spaces, dragging in cars and pollution from miles around. This could be our new village for Bell Green. With shops, a leisure facility, parklets and a place for a Xmas tree. #planning #redevelopment #se26 #bellgreenvillage

Very well said. #BellGreen #SE26 #SE23

We would like to see the large retail park converted to a new village, with housing, facilities and shops. This requires a masterplan to guide the development so it has some sense and logic. What we don't need is a poorly planned development, circumventing the process. #bellgreen

Sat 27th Jan: Planning drop-in at #Sydenham Library. 11-4pm. BGNF display of @Barratt_London plans for gasholders site; cuppa & biscuits, & chat while kids play. Councillors welcome @ChrisBestUK @Jack_Lavery @CllrCurran @RachelOnikosi @Jacqpaschoud @paschoud @SakinaZS #SE26 #SE6
