Lewisham revitalised with £19 million Levelling Up funding (Levelling Up Fund 2)

Levelling Up funding will support three projects that will provide new jobs, boost the local economy and create a better town centre for local people.

Revitalising Lewisham Market

The historic market will be transformed to support local traders and encourage new visitors.

Improvements to the market include:

• changing the layout of the market to provide more pitch space for traders, make it more attractive for customers and with better waste facilities.
• new environmentally friendly canopies to extend the market outside current trading hours
• new paving, lighting and benches around the market to make it a more inviting and inclusive place to meet

Levelling Up funding will also support the refurbishment of the iconic Grade II listed Clock Tower.

A new culture and business hub at Lewisham Library
