Meeting with the Mayor of Lewisham

Some of our parents and children went to Laurence House to meet up with the re-elected Mayor to remind him of the promises that he made around housing issues when he came to our school for the Lewisham Citizens Accountability Assembly in April.
Damien Egan promised that if he was re-elected he would work with us to improve conditions, care and communications for Lewisham residents. Together with representatives from lots of other organisations in Lewisham we congratulated the Mayor on his re-election by giving him some bunting to hang in his office. We also invited him to play a wordsearch game - some of the children from St Mary's helped him to find the words:

• Care
• Communication
• Conditions

It is always important that we continue to work in school and with other organisations to make Lewisham a better place to live for us all! We are hopeful that by building relationships with Lewisham councillors and cabinet members that we can influence and give insight into the real stories around housing that so many families experience. More housing meetings to follow in September so do come and join us!
