To: The Mayor of Lewisham and Local Councillors
Save Ladywell Playtower
This petition demands that the Mayor of Lewisham and local councillors:
1. explain clearly what action they will take over the next year to guarantee progress on the refurbishment and re-opening of the Playtower; and
2. consult fully, urgently and transparently with the local community about the future of the site.
Local people deserve better.
Why is this important?
Back in 2017 the Council selected developer Guildmore to restore and redevelop ‘The Playtower’, to provide housing and a local cinema. Seven years on, however, the building continues to deteriorate with the Guildmore scheme apparently stalled.
It’s the Council’s duty to lead decisively on this project and to put local people at the heart of the process, but it has failed to do this.
Local people have a right to expect better and want to see some progress over the next year!
A community petition has been launched which can be signed by anyone who lives, works or studies in the Borough of Lewisham (even if under 18yrs).
Local people deserve better.
