Geez you wonder how much burden the Forest Hill community has to take on its shoulders for housing people requiring council help and help with various other issues.

Considering we already have Mariam Lodge a 125 bed homeless hostel on Dartmouth Road.

Now Hamilton Lodge.

And I love how the notice says it will only be "Short Term". I can almost guarantee this will be a homeless hostel indefinitely based on Lewisham (and every other councils) track record with keeping up with council housing demands.

Nevermind that the 3 schools in Forest Hill have catchment areas of a couple hundred metres. I essentially have to move out of Forest Hill when I'm thinking of having children because the school I'll probably be allocated to will be a bus ride or 30 minute walk away.



But let's focus on the BIG issues in the community, like trying to stop a business from opening a shop on the high street that meets all legal and trading regulation requirements.
