If you would like more information on how the highways scheme being implemented in Blackheath Village will affect vehicle access to the village during the time the work is going on the Council have produced a comprehensive booklet.

The works started on 11 July and are schedualed to finish on 12 September.  For most of the period it will be possible to drive through the village, but there will be restrictions on entry and exit points for most of the period.  Between 1 August and 22 August there will be no route through from north to south as this is when the work on the traffic island will be taking place.

I've received an invitation to the relaunch of the Lewisham Handyperson Service next week, unfortunately it's during the day so I won't be able to make it.  However, I thought I'd give it a plug.

It's a free service (except for materials) for older, disabled and vulnerable people living within the borough and they'll do small repairs and adaptions to help people continue living at home, safe and independent.  Each job they do is limited to 2 hours. 

If you think this might be a service you or someone you know might find useful then please call 020 8314 6309 or email handyperson@lewisham.gov.uk.
