Finally Lewisham Council have done good

We need to build more social housing urgently – it has taken a year and
a half for the old swimming pool site next to the Fire station in
Central Lewisham for any evidence of anything happening there. Why
aren’t the council considering Y– Housing Units (which can be built
within a few months to get some of the hundreds of our families who are
living in B & B’s into proper homes:

And they have done it – the new housing is colourful and well constructed and cheap to heat:

I like this web site very much, Its a really nice post to read and find information. “Words are like leaves and where they most abound, Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.” by Alexander Pope.
Thankyou – you’re a peach!
