New affordable housing scheme

We have launched our first shared ownership development at 1 Creekside in Deptford, in partnership with Lewisham Homes. The scheme is aimed at local residents who are trying to get onto the housing ladder. Buyers purchase an initial share of between 25 and 75% of a property and pay rent on the remaining share. The project will also deliver 22 new social homes for families on our housing waiting list, making it a 100% affordable housing development.

Lewisham’s parks and green spaces have been described as “outstanding” in the latest annual Good Parks for London report. Lewisham has been ranked top performing of all the 32 London boroughs! The report looked at how the London boroughs on how their parks are performing with regard to sustainability, supporting nature, and involvement of the local community among others. The last two years have seen public green spaces play a vital role for us all as a place to relax, exercise and meet friends and family safely.

Young Champions is a new initiative that gives young residents of Lewisham a chance to get involved in local health issues, from mental health to exploring inequalities and much more.

Young Champions are 13 to 25 year-olds who want to tackle health-related misinformation among their peers, share useful advice with their community and give their opinion on health issues. Find out more and register at lewisham.gov.uk/ youngchampions
