Discover Central Lewisham, Unlocking Lewisham Town Centre's Potential . Have your say today and share your views on the future of your community. Powered by Commonplace, the leading community engagement platform.
Our plans for the shopping centre will unlock Lewisham Town Centre’s potential for economic growth and reinvigorate the area.
We are supporting a number of community, social and cultural organisations:
■ The Museum of Migration: explores how the movement of people to and from Britain across the ages has shaped our country and our communities.
■ The Toy Library: provides access to over 2,000 toys and learning resources for local children.
■ The Bank of Things: an initiative by the Young Mayor and supported by Landsec. The Bank of Things provides help for young people aged 11-25 who are struggling to access everyday essentials to enable them to take a full, active role in their education or society.
■ The Circle Collective: one of our long-term charity partners that provides young people with employment opportunities. We will be supporting its Borough of Culture projects.
■ Lewisham Youth Theatre: founded in 1987, LYT uses theatre and drama to help positively change young people’s lives. We are providing LYT with a temporary home, based on High Street, while their new permanent base is completed.
■ We Are Lewisham: as part of the Borough of Culture, We Are Lewisham (located in the shopping centre) will be hosting a programme of community events throughout the year.
■ Provide new town centre uses such as restaurants and cafes that help grow a new night-time economy for Lewisham Town Centre.
■ Create a more robust town centre offer by providing greater diversity in the retail and other activities.
■ Provide a mix of new homes for a diverse community including affordable homes and family housing.
■ Create around 2,300 jobs, strengthening Lewisham’s economy.
■ Promote health and wellbeing by providing new public spaces, extensive greening.
