Forthcoming meetings
Tuesday 23rd September 7 – 9pm (food from 7:00, meeting 7:30)
In July, we had a wonderful Policy Jam meeting, open to all, to discuss what Lewisham Green Party policy should be.
At our next meeting we hope to focus on our next steps to achieve our goals, such as fundraising and community organising.
Members will be sent a Google Meets link to join remotely if they prefer this.

COME and campaign with us!
Our Policies
Only Greens have a record of speaking up for action strong enough to tackle the climate change emergency.
Greens are passionate about building a country where everyone has a good quality of life.
Community is at the heart of everything Greens do.
🏡 Putting residents first – regularly speaking to and listening to residents through surveys on your doorstep
🚲 Healthy Streets – support for cyclists, pedestrians and public transport, school streets and clean air
🏢 Renters’ rights – we’ll use the new landlord register to improve housing and ban rogue landlords
🏠 Insulating housing – retrofit for all types of housing, reducing energy bills and carbon emissions.
❤ Primary and community care provision – give health and the NHS the priority they need
♻ Waste and Recycling – phase out single-use plastic in council buildings, improve Lewisham’s low recycling rate (27%)
🚮 Reducing fly tipping – identifying hotspots, increasing preventative measures, and making it easier to dispose of large waste
LATEST NEWS
Councillor Liam Shrivastava joins Lewisham Green Party!
We are so happy and excited to welcome Lewisham Councillor Liam Shrivastava to the Lewisham Green Party.
Liam resigned from the Labour Party on June 25th, stating that “Labour no longer represents socialist values”. He has represented New Cross Gate ward since 2022.
💚 Tackled inequality and division locally by getting involved with @afril.org.uk and showing up to challenge far right opportunists at @thehonoroakpub to show solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community.
💚 Confronted “the environmental destruction of our world” by calling on Lewisham Council to endorse the fossil fuel treaty, to protect people from the threat fossil fuels pose, and manage a global transition to safe, renewable and affordable energy for all.
💚 Took action to try and commit the council to divesting its pensions investments away from facilitating Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.
Liam also urged others to follow suit, saying “…If you’re a socialist and you’re in Lewisham – or anywhere else – I would encourage you to do the same and join the Green Party…we can build a positive, greener…and more progressive future for this country”. You can read Liam’s full resignation statement by clicking here.
Liam is now our second Green Councillor in Lewisham and we cannot wait to see what he achieves next with the backing of the Lewisham Green Party. 💚
