The Safer Lewisham bus, in partnership with Lewisham Council and the police, will be parked in the market area in Lewisham town centre next Monday (November 24), between 10.30am and 3pm.
Police officers will be on board to provide information about domestic violence in support of national White Ribbon Day next Tuesday (November 25).
