Lewisham Waste Management

The area of Lewisham is one of 35 major centres in Greater London with a population of nearly 100,000. Along with numerous transport links connecting it to the south of the capital, Lewisham also boasts the largest police station in Europe. Its commercial district is also one of the largest in the area, while ambitious regeneration plans look set to transform the fortunes of the London Borough of Lewisham.

One of the biggest contributors to the local economy is Lewisham Shopping Centre, home to 70 stores spread across 330,000 square feet. Notable high-street retailers include Marks & Spencer, W H Smith, Sainsburys, and H&M. However, ever since the Docklands Light Railway extension reached Lewisham, the local market and high street has enjoyed an increase in customers too, helping independent enterprises capitalise on the area’s increased prosperity.

New plans to develop three major sites on Loampit Vale could help the town centre rival the likes of Bromley, Croydon and Kingston upon Thames when it comes to business and job creation. The first is the Renaissance development featuring high-rise apartment blocks along with the new Glass Mill leisure centre. The second is Lewisham Gateway, which has already witnessed the construction of two residential buildings and is close to completing a new road network. Last but not least, Thurston Road industrial estate will be a mixed-use site for residential and commercial buildings.

But in spite of such promising plans for both residential and commercial development, Lewisham must come up with ways to effectively manage its waste disposal and recycling responsibilities, which are bound to increase with the rapid development occurring in the area.
