London Square’s shiny new branded hoarding at Leegate has already been embellished by a graffiti artist, reflecting the disquiet of Lee residents at the new name.
The Lee Consortium of community groups, including the Lee Manor Society, plans to write to London Square asking them to reconsider their plan to name the new development Blackheath Gate,.
The groups acknowledge that Blackheath has a rich history, but it is a separate entity from Lee or Lee Green whose residents themselves are proud of their own identity and rich history.
