Lewisham shopping centre redevelopment paused

The £1.5bn redevelopment of Lewisham Shopping Centre has been paused following a breakdown between Landsec and the Council. This freeze leaves local traders and residents in a state of uncertainty, with Sergiy Lesyk noting the council gained nothing from the loss of the scheme. The project faced significant opposition from campaigners who criticised the insufficient number of affordable homes included in the plans, resulting in a stalemate for the town centre's planned regeneration.
