Lewisham Council's Cabinet approved a report outlining savings of £29.25 million in general fund and an additional £4.784 million in Housing Revenue Account savings as part of a necessary financial adjustment.

The situation surrounding Lou Abbott's unresolved heating issues highlights the dire consequences of inadequate maintenance by housing authorities, impacting vulnerable residents’ health.

The grants will be used to help local groups undertake environmental projects such as investing in reusable coffee cups and building community gardens.

The squatters have taken over the former Catford Mews building, mostly keeping a low profile; however, an all-day rave two Saturdays ago drew police attention.

"As an inclusive and ambitious borough, Lewisham is committed to tackling inequalities and driving transformative change... House of Lewisham is a key component of the Inclusive Economy Lewisham strategy."

"We didn't think we'd be in this position again, especially so soon, and it's heartbreaking."

The closure of Catford Mews came as a shock to many locals, sparking outrage and disappointment over the disappearance of this beloved community venue that served diverse functions.
