So lets break this down.
What do you see has deteriorated rapidly in Forest Hill?
Transport links, oh the Overground that gets you to Shoreditch and Hoxton, in about a third of the time it did before that existed?
And from London Bridge and Victoria the destinations are endless.
Agree it's a pain changing at Norwood Junction, but by the end of the year that is likely to change. And you can always go to West Croydon and proceed on the tram from there.
Yes the Mayor may have changed the frequency of some routes, 12, P12 but other routes exist.
South Norwood station - where actually is that, or do you mean Norwood Junction or South Croydon?
Agreed renaming lines on the Overground is a waste of money, but that's the Mayors vanity project.
Having no central Police station or hub was replaced by PCSO's, who have no power, I'd prefer to see real police on the streets as a deterrent and a response when contacted, hence why there are so many phone and car thefts, the criminals know nothing will happen so its become open season, but that's across the whole of London. But on the converse side that's probably why there are so many unmarked Police cars that respond to incidents.
In my mind where Forest Hill is located with easy access to central London, Shoreditch, Croydon, Bromley, the south Coast and all the greenery around Forest Hill we're "lucky" to live here.
