I think I can answer some of the questions here.

1- Over the years, I have been regularly nagging the the railway management to remove the buddliea from the railway wall, which they finally get round to eventually. Despite me pointing it out to them, they do not regularly check and remove it. Thankfully, the widening of the pavement on the Perry Vale side will enable residents to walk along without the chance of losing an eye from the overhanging vegetation.

2-Many years ago, I chaired a panel judging the competition for the art work on the wall, and the canal depictation was considered the best, and has always been well received by residents.

3-Lewisham is still chasing up staff at Network Rail to find out when the S106 works to the underpass will commence-and we won't give up-and the works to the stairs at Platform 2 will be complete by the end of January 2009.

Best Wishes for a peaceful fective break.
