Now in their second year, local assemblies are enabling Lewisham residents to work alongside the Council and other local organisations to improve the character of neighbourhoods throughout the borough.
Everyone who lives, works or has an interest in their area is invited along to discuss any matter they consider important.
Each local assembly helps decide how to spend both an annual £10,000 “locality fund” and, over the next two years, a £50,000 “Mayor’s Fund” to make significant improvements to the ward.
