HAVE YOUR SAY on the future of Lewisham

Lewisham 2030 – an ambitious project aimed at defining hopes and aspirations for the borough to the end of the decade – has been launched.

The initiative is committed to preserving and improving the best parts of Lewisham while addressing what matters most to local communities.

The council will work closely with partners across the borough to focus on the needs and aspirations of people in Lewisham, working together to achieve more than any one organisation could alone.

There are different ways to get involved so the project can hear from as many people as possible who live, work and study in Lewisham.

An online survey, which takes just 10 minutes to complete, has been launched. Other events are being shared across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and listed in libraries and community spaces.

Mayor of Lewisham, Damien Egan, said: “We want to hear from as many people as possible and for them to share their ideas, no matter how big or small.

“As well as launching our online survey we will be talking to people with in-person events.

“Your input is invaluable as we collectively explore what the future of Lewisham should look like and identify the steps needed to achieve it.

“By bringing together partners from across Lewisham, we can shape a better and more inclusive Lewisham for generations to come.”

The project hopes to launch the Lewisham 2030 Community Action Plan in spring 2024. This collaborative plan will embody the shared vision for Lewisham as a vibrant place to live, work, study, visit and invest in.

The Lewisham 2030 online survey closes on October 29.
