The deadline for comments and/or objections to these proposals is tomorrow, Thursday 23 April.

A few days ago I emailed all the Parliamentary Candidates for Lewisham West & Penge, and all the Forest Hill ward councillors, and the Tewkesbury Lodge Estate Residents’ Association, asking each if they fundamentally supported or objected to these proposals.

I had one fairly prompt reply from Alex Feakes, Lib Dem Parliamentary Candidate, who, given the concentration of hostels in the SE23 postcode, supports at least Hamilton Lodge being used for school provision.

The other candidates, councillors and TLERA have all not bothered to reply. Make of that what you will.
