Do you want to summarise your problems, a lot of that website seems like a rant rather than displaying points

I think the poor stock levels in Forest Hill isn't so much to do with hoarders. It seems a lot of people usually commute and now aren't eating in town so our little Sainsburys is selling for twice as ...

Lewisham can barely be bothered to empty bins every two weeks and had the first bill recycling centre removed because it was used too much. What makes you think they give a shit?

Less safe for the passengers or the staff? The staff in Forest Hill hide the instant they can if they are feeling friendly they phone the police.

Don't forget that next year the Lewisham dump will be inside the congestion charge zone so you will have to pay £11+ to use it if they don't pick up the recycling

They have decided to narrow the south circular and change the pavement. No planning permission, they just felt like. It's really noisy for us who live next door
