Saw this last night regarding the redevelopment plans for Lewisham shopping centre.
Not strictly SE23 but of interest.

Yes, indeed. I saw that too and meant to share. Thanks for posting it.
While this is not strictly SE23, I do think that the redevelopment in Lewisham will be important for our area and for the borough as a whole. I’d love to see a well developed Lewisham that would attract more people and businesses to our borough to help their financial situation, which in turn would allow them to do more in our own area in many different ways.
However, I personally felt that the deal (like most extremely large construction projects) was weighted far too heavily to the benefit of the developers and not enough for the Council and community - particularly when it comes to affordable housing (and this is a major drag on our council’s finance).
I look forward to seeing new proposals and to a more attractive Lewisham in the near future.
