ULEZ is delivering results! Thanks to @SadiqKhan’s decisive action and commitment to cleaner air, all Londoners are benefitting, including us here in #Lewisham, where NOx emissions have dropped by 13% since the expansion and 37% overall. Cleaner air, healthier communities! #ULEZ #CleanAir

A message from Mayor of Lewisham, Brenda Dacres and Councillors: “Last night, in Lewisham and across the capital, we saw the true spirit of London on our streets…

The violent disorder and intimidation across the country is despicable. There is no place for hate, racism or Islamophobia in Lewisham or across the UK. We must all come together in condemning these acts of violence. Mayor @Brenda_Dacres statement - tinyurl.com/2s438hsb
