Residents of Catford will not have been greatly reassured by the smiling faces of deputy mayor Gaving Moore and Ms Petra Smith on your front page, allegedly "fighting back" against the well-merited criticism of the degeneration of Catford in recent years by the very Lewisham Council whose headquarters are centred in the place.
Lewisham Council recognises Catford is in serious need of regeneration but a pedestrianised area near the Town Hall and redeveloping the shopping area shows how completely out of touch our local government has become.
