Have your say on our Plan for Lewisham

Residents have turned out in record numbers to support local businesses, with 9430 votes cast in this year's Mayor of Lewisham Business Awards, almost 1,000 more than last year's public vote.

Lewisham Council’s Deputy Mayor Rudi Schmidt has urged the Prime Minister to take urgent action on council funding, warning that rising homelessness costs and underfunding are putting local services under severe pressure.

Community organisations can apply for small grants of up to £1,000 to deliver events celebrating Tamil Heritage Month in Lewisham.
