The North Lewisham Links programme aims to improve walking and cycling routes in the north of the borough. Ten separate routes have been identified that connect possible new development sites with existing (and new) community facilities such as schools and colleges, town centres, parks and public open spaces.

The Council is looking at a variety of different ways to fund this programme of work. Already, £4 million has been secured from central government to enable work to begin on the route between Deptford and New Cross which runs parallel to New Cross Road and takes in Fordham Park, the New Cross Underpass and Margaret McMillan Park.
Local residents and other key stakeholders will have the opportunity to have their say about the various different routes once work on them gets underway.
