I hate to inject a positive note into all this doom and gloom and negativity but must just mention that the Forest Hill Library has re-opened this week and looks great - on time and very user friendly. Beautiful building too.
Also, you have to admit that the recycling initiative in Lewisham has been a great success. Our bins are collected on time every week and the rubbish collection is equally reliable - not always the case in the past!
Yes it would be nice to have the pool(s) re-opened though with hindsight I think that Forest Hill would have been better served by a new purpose-built facility rather than trying to re-vamp the old pools in their rather unattractive building, but that's another topic.
I have seen many improvements since I moved to the borough 20 years ago and overall it's a great place to live.
If you don't like your elected politicians then stand yourself! Let's see the manifesto!!
