We promote good urban design and aim to protect the built environment. We promote local history through our newsletter and by arranging talks and walks.

The Roads & Transport Committee makes comments to Lewisham Council, Transport for London (TfL) and Southern Railways on road and rail schemes, traffic management and highway maintenance, rail services and stations, bus stops and routes, parking and new provision for greener vehicles, and flight paths and aircraft noise. We discuss current issues and we talk directly with transport managers.
