About Us

In 2004Lewisham Council announced plans to demolish Ladywell Leisure Centre in 2007 - we saved it! The pool will stay open until the forecast replacement is ready.  Sadly the plan is awfully inadequate and instead of being a plan for a community sport and leisure centre it is a plan for a lifestyle pool for the new residential developments to be built in front of Lewisham Station.

Steve Bullock...the saviour

Lewisham Council - Mayor safeguards services:

"Steve Bullock, Mayor of Lewisham, has saved Blackheath Fireworks and the Sydenham Library.

The Mayor stepped in to secure the future of two of the borough's most valued institutions at Wednesday's Mayor and Cabinet meeting.

The Mayor decided against departmental efficiency proposals that would have put an end to London's largest free fireworks display and meant the closure of Sydenham Library.

Steve said: “Sydenham Library is too valuable a community resource to lose. In addition to being an important service for local people and school children, it offers a valuable free internet access point."

“What's more, the Blackheath Fireworks offers Lewisham a safe and spectacular community event that is enjoyed by a huge number of people."

The Mayor and Cabinet meeting, which took place on 19 October, considered a range of possible saving opportunities drawn up by council departments.
