Booster doses

A booster of the COVID-19 vaccine is available to people aged 75 and over, people who live in a care home for older people, or people aged 12 and over who have a weakened immune system. You can find more information on the NHS website at nhs.uk/covid-booster and Leisure, and the Lewisham Mayoresses.

The refurbishment at Sayes Court includes some exciting new play equipment including a large wooden Golden Hind ship which pays tribute to the area’s maritime history near the Thames. There is also a brandnew sandpit area, new climbing frames and upgraded swings and springers.

All this was made possible by local development funds from Section 106 and NCIL and is part of a larger £700,000 project to upgrade play areas in three popular Deptford parks –Sayes Court, Evelyn Green and Folkestone Gardens.
