London Square is inviting the Lee community to suggest names for the new buildings being put up on the old Leegate site, now being marketed as Lee Green.
Vanessa Joyce, London Square’s Senior Development Manager told the Lee Manor Society they are looking for names for nine building entrances, and the internal roads, so are keen to get as many suggestions as possible. She has asked the Lee Manor Society to coordinate with other groups and societies in the area to get as many ideas as possible.
The important guidelines are:
- They prefer names with local historical significance
- You can’t have names which already exist in the borough (it confuses the postmen)
- Names should be easy to pronounce and not awkward to spell
- You can’t have a building or street name starting with “The”
- Building names should use one of these suffixes: House, Court, Lodge, Mansions, Apartments, Point (residential only). Tower or Heights should only be used for high blocks (residential or offices).
If you have suggestions, please put them in the comment box below or email them to leemanorsociety@gmail.com
Vanessa Joyce says the final decisions will rest with London Square, Lewisham Council, the Post Office and Clarion Housing association (for Block B).
Meanwhile London Square has told us it has moved the hoarding line adjacent to Carston Close to make access easier. Residents , please let us know it it is better now.
