Housing Improvement Programme

Lewisham is a highly diverse borough and is home to over 100 language communities. It has over 900 operational voluntary and community groups, over half of council tenants live in areas represented by local tenants’ and residents’ associations and over 700 local people are involved as street leaders and environmental activists.

The borough places great value on its citizens and works with them and its partners, turning houses into homes and creating places in which residents can live comfortably and happily, now and in the future. Not only does this mean investing in properties and providing new ones, but also ensuring that the Council’s priorities are in harmony with those of the community and other stakeholders and linking the services they provide to the wider renewal and Decent Homes agendas.

Tentacle has worked closely with the housing development team at Lewisham for over ten years delivering a range of stakeholder communications and were approached for the third consecutive time to design, typeset and print manage Lewisham's housing strategy and to clearly communicate through the use of bespoke maps, illustrations, photography and tables the borough's priorities and action plans for 2004 through to 2007.
