The Peoples Assembly Save Lewisham Shopping Centre Save Deptford High Street

Lewisham
Is Not For Sale

Together, we proved it.

We won! Landsec retreats and the redevelopment is on hold. Campaigners gather with Save Lewisham Shopping Centre and Stop Gentrification banners.

Thank you to every resident who signed the petition, emailed their councillors, and showed up for Lewisham.

Over 4,600 of you signed. 18 councillors and the Mayor took the pledge. This is what people power looks like.

Political Accountability

The 3 commitments they made:

  1. If elected to acknowledge the severity of gentrification and use their powers as councillors to force affordable housing.
  2. Reject developments which fail to satisfy 50% affordable housing (as per the Lewisham local plan adopted in July 2025).
  3. Work with the Lewisham People's Assembly and other housing organisations to achieve a 'New Vision for Development' based around democratic decision-making, community-owned and sustainable development practises.
