London Square has produced a video showing the demolition work which is going on at the site.
Lewisham is one of the best places in the country for potholes
New government figures show that Lewisham is one of only 16 local highways authorities in England to get a Green rating on potholes.
The ratings range from green (highest) through amber to red (lowest). They measure how well each local highway authority is maintaining its local roads and are based on 3 areas:
- the current condition of local roads
- how much each local highway authority is spending on maintaining its local roads
- how effectively each local highway authority follows best practice in highways maintenance – for example by using technologies to fix and prevent potholes more efficiently
The ratings are based on data from official statistics and data from the transparency reports that local highway authorities had to publish on their websites. Links to each local highway authority’s transparency report are provided in the table below.

Do you think the roads in Lee are good enough for a Green rating?
Watch it come down!
Demolition of Leegate is well underway – there are piles of rubble where once there were shops. Frances Migniuolo snapped the pictures below from Sainsbury’s car park..

Delivered! Lee Green’s first smart postbox
Lee Green’s first smart postbox has been unwrapped. It’s at the junction of Effingham and Wantage Roads.
They are smart because as well as taking letters they will also take small parcels, up to the size of a shoe box.
We reported before Christmas how the smart box works.
- Prepare Your Parcel: At home, create and pay for your postage online (e.g., via the Royal Mail App), then print the label with the barcode and attach it to your parcel.
- Scan the Barcode: Take your parcel to a smart postbox and scan the barcode on your label using the built-in scanner.
- Drop the Parcel: The scanner activates a larger, drop-down drawer, allowing you to deposit parcels up to shoebox size.
- Get Proof: Use the Royal Mail App to get digital proof of posting and track your parcel.
