The motion supports the ongoing work of our pensions investments committee in being a local authority leader in ensuring the values of our borough and council are reflected in our pension’s investments.

Last night Cllr Mark Jackson and Cllr Yemisi Anifowose moved a motion on gambling reform. Lewisham have now joined a coalition of over 40 other councils calling for urgent reforms to tackle the harms caused by gambling and to restore decision making powers to local authorities.
