Dartmouth Road Concept Presentation
Below is the presentation provided in the Forest Hill Ward Assembly and SEE3 Town Team Meeting for some of the concepts for Dartmouth Road. There are still many further months of consultation to agree the detail of the scheme. The Forest Hill Society has some concerns about the current designs, but we welcome the opportunity to see a transformation of this road.
Proposals for road narrowing, to allow for more space for pedestrians and parking:
Proposed areas of the road for existing and increased parking, and drop-off at the pool:

Parliamentry Hustings Cancelled
The Forest Hill Society and Sydenham Society had arranged a
Parliamentary election hustings for Lewisham West and Penge on Friday
24th April. Unfortunately we have to announce the cancellation of
this hustings. This is due to difficulty getting agreement from the
candidates regarding who should be included and excluded from the panel.
Initially we had invited only the five candidates representing parties with more than 1% at the last general election to take part. We were pressured by a number of the candidates to extend this invitation to all candidates. Having done this, it then proved impossible to get all eight candidates to agree to attend the hustings due to the presence of a candidate from Liberty GB.
In addition we did not wish to place the local church and vicar in the situation of hosting and chairing an event with a speaker from a party that does not accept religious freedom.
We wish to apologise to all members of the public who were looking forward to attending the event.
Issued by Michael Abrahams, chair of the Forest Hill Society and Annabel McLaren, chair of the Sydenham Society.

Reinstating Evening Peak Trains
The Forest Hill Society have received confirmation from Southern that most of the evening peak services that were canceled in January will be reinstated in the May timetable change (16th May).
The following services will run again from May (in addition to the existing 2 trains per hour):
16:27
17:06
17:38
18:36
The 18:06 will NOT be reinstated, continuing to leave a 30 minute gap in the evening timetable.
We welcome the reinstatement of these services which might make our journeys home a little better than they have been for the last four months.
