Forest Hill is in inner London - Lewisham is an inner London borough.
I would describe it as inner suburban myself.
Anyway that is beside the point really, I think some compromise can be found between the needs of pedestrians and the needs of car drivers and smarten the frontage of the station up to make it a nicer and safer place for people that use it every day. The practical work of the FH soc is the first step to getting people thinking and talking about alternatives ways to configure the space.
To respond to your rather pass agg point samuelson - I obviously have a lot of better things to do, but I spent a few minutes of my time yesterday considering what could improve a resource I use pretty much every day, in an area I have chosen to make my home.
