Is Forest Hill now overdeveloped and does the loss of these trees in the centre of Forest Hill impact everyone in Forest Hill?


Does the loss of those trees impact ANYONE in Forest Hill, apart from a few people whose homes look out onto that plot of land?

There is zero employment in F Hill except locals shops and various state and local authority job.


Which actually account for quite a few jobs. What do you expect: factories, farming, shipbuilding?! If someone where to build a whacking great office block in the centre of Forest Hill we'd be complaining about that too.

Everyone has to work somewhere else.


Most people commute to work - that's always been the case. Most local people haven't worked within walking distance of their homes since this area was farmland.

UK , London and Forest Hill all overcrowded.


Define overcrowded. There may have been an increase in residents (which should be easy to prove statistically) but how can you say when a place is overcrowded? We're not running short of electricity or water (although try telling that to people on the hill with low water pressure!), there's no shortage of food in the shops, traffic is busy but not gridlocked, people aren't living ten to a room.
