Make Blackheath Station Car Park an Asset of Community Value
We want Lewisham Council to list Blackheath Car Park as an Asset of Community Value. This petition evidences community support for this action.
Why is this important?
Blackheath Station Car Park is vitally important to the Blackheath Village community and must be protected. It provides:
- essential parking for access to Blackheath shops, cafés, restaurants, and pubs, supporting the local economy and plays a valuable role in maintaining a vibrant community.
- essential parking for access to Blackheath shops, cafés, restaurants, and pubs, supporting the local economy and plays a valuable role in maintaining a vibrant community.
- parking for tradespeople working in Blackheath.
- a safe drop-off and collection point for children attending John Ball Primary School as well as for parking associated with the school.
- parking for access to Blackheath Station, enabling travel into central London and Kent for work, shopping, cultural, and leisure activities. This is particularly important for residents with impaired mobility.
- space to host a busy Sunday farmers’ market, that is highly valued by residents. Local traders benefit greatly from the extra custom they receive on Sundays.
