It is hard not to notice the high number of empty shops now in Catford. And sadly back in October the much-valued Catford Mews closed, after being repossessed by its landlord.
Catford has many things going for it, with two train stations, a vibrant community, an active voluntary sector and more. However, it is also a place that has been let down many times by Labour run Lewisham Council, which has been in power since 1971.
Lewisham residents are saddled with a huge £635,000 bill, so that Labour's Mayor can pursue his personal ambition in Bristol, according to Lib Dem campaigner Chris Maines.
