Ladywell Playtower
In 2017 Lewisham Council selected the developer Guildmore to restore and redevelop the Ladywell Playtower, but over 7 years later no progress appears to have been made, the building remains empty and continues to deteriorate. The Ladywell Society is leading a petition (see below) demanding that the Council explain their action plans and engage with the local community to secure the future of the site.

A minimum of 3,000 local supporters is required to secure a Full Council debate on this issue after the Summer. Anyone who lives or studies in Lewisham Borough can sign the petition (even if under 18yrs) but support from outside the Borough will be discounted under the Council's Petitions Scheme.
