A major south east London regeneration scheme faces an uncertain future after the Labour government’s spending review did not provide funding for the long-expected Bakerloo Line extension to Lewisham.
Lewisham had 92 items of recorded fly-tipping per 1000 people in our borough, making it us the 4th from bottom for fly-tipping of the 32 London Boroughs.
Mike Martin, MP for Tunbridge Wells and member of the Defence Select Committee, gave a talk to Lewisham Liberal Democrats about defence and foreign policy.
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.
