The diversity of our population and workforce is one of our greatest strengths in Lewisham, and your Council is bringing people from all walks of life together to make our borough the best place in London to live, work and learn.
The Corporate Strategy 2008–11 sets out the specific contribution of Lewisham Council to the delivery of Shaping our future. Whilst working with our partners is at the forefront of what we do, it is still necessary to set out our individual role and direction.
The Corporate Strategy is not a ‘new’ document, it details the Council’s ten existing corporate priorities and brings together the commitments made in our various strategies, underpinning these priorities.
Our Comprehensive Equality Scheme is core to all we do. Here you can find out how we ensure equal rights for all, and how we set out to include everyone – from street people to business people – in our decision making.
You will also learn about Shaping our future – Lewisham’s sustainable community strategy. This 12 year strategy establishes a vision for Lewisham and the priority areas for action to make this vision a reality. Shaping our future is the work of the Lewisham Strategic Partnership which brings together representatives from the public, private, voluntary and community sectors to look at how we can tackle local challenges and improve the quality of life for all our citizens.
