  • Lewisham Climate Emergency Strategic Action Plan 2020-2030
    Lewisham Climate Emergency Strategic Action Plan 2020-2030 1 Joint Foreword by the Mayor of Lewisham, Damien Egan, Cabinet Lead, Sophie McGeevor, and the Young Mayor, Femi Komolafe Society faces a climate and ecological crisis that is the legacy of a generation of inaction. The declaration of a Climate Emergency by Lewisham Council, and hundreds of other organisations up and down the country, is the first step in answer to the call for a new response to this crisis. The difference in the impetus for change is that this call for action has come from citizens, and particularly from young people, internationally, but also here in the borough. Collectively we have an obligation to future generations. We also have a duty to protect the most vulnerable members of our society. Globally, and locally, the oldest, youngest, the least well off and those with health conditions will bear the brunt of a changing climate. As a society our way of living needs to be based around a new contract. A contract that ensures government, business, media, communities and individuals are accountable for their actions and choices, and that we find the way to balance the demands of today against the needs of the future. Meeting this challenge will fundamentally change how we live, but if it is to be successful, this change will not be about giving things up: instead it will be a way to enrich our lives. Taking strong action on energy, carbon and our environment means our air will be cleaner, our homes warmer, we will feel healthier, and we will live in places designed for people with green spaces teeming with life.

The elections give us the opportunity to show exactly what our community thinks of the Tory and Lib Dem Coalition Government’s massive cuts and how their austerity agenda has failed the country. We are in a fight to protect services for vulnerable residents on a scale like we have never seen before. This Manifesto highlights the many things that, together, we can do, while highlighting how much more we could do with a Labour government. It outlines what we want to do to make life better for everyone in Lewisham. That’s why it’s a huge honour to be selected by Labour’s membership as their candidate for Mayor of Lewisham. I love this borough and am proud to have served it as a councillor for the last eight years.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by the London Borough of Lewisham (MRS0267)
    Written evidence submitted by the London Borough of Lewisham (MRS0267) The unequal impact: Coronavirus (Covid-19) and the impact on people with protected characteristics [London Borough of Lewisham Submission] I write regarding the above-mentioned Parliamentary Inquiry and in response to the Women and Equalities Committee Call for Evidence. As this submission is being made, the social and economic impact of COVID-19 is still being felt across the country. At the same time, courageous efforts continue to be made by brave health service professionals and other key workers to reduce the spread of infection and save lives. Much as the pathology of COVID-19 is indiscriminate, what has also become clear is that certain sections of society are at greater risk of infection than others. As a borough that celebrates its demographic diversity, Lewisham is particularly concerned at the way in which the pandemic is impacting upon our communities. We now better understand that factors such as how many people live in a household and even the industry in which a person is employed, can increase their risk of infection. It is critical that we seize this opportunity to learn lessons so that we can better mitigate future risks and protect vulnerable communities. Lewisham looks forward to being part of this process of learning and in response to the Committee’s Call for Evidence, I attach the Council’s submission. Introduction Lewisham Council is a public body located in south east London. The Council serves a population of 303,5001 residents and 133,000 households. By population size, Lewisham is the 14th largest borough in London and the 6th largest in Inner London2.
