CATFORD: Lewisham Council buys Catford Shopping Centre for £11.52m
11:15am Monday 8th February 2010
Lewisham Council has finalised the purchase of Catford Shopping Centre for £11.52m.
Regeneration company St Modwen, which has owned the shopping centre since 1993, has agreed to sell it to the council, which will run the centre through a wholly-owned company called the Catford Regeneration Partnership Limited.
Council chiefs claim buying the centre will improve regeneration of the area.
Deputy Mayor of Lewisham Councillor Heidi Alexander said: “The council's vision for Catford is as a lively, attractive town centre.
“Buying these land interests in the Catford centre is a once in a lifetime opportunity that puts the council in a much, much stronger position to shape the future of Catford.”
St Modwen senior development manager Killian Morris said: “Shopping centres across the country have suffered in the downturn, but Catford is one of the few that can claim 100 per cent occupancy.”

the money should be put into improving the housing in the area as the council would rather see a pregnant women on the streets then house them as a member of the housig list for the last 6 years i think it is absolutley disgusting the way the council treat people. it is discriminating and disgusting .
