New Lewisham website!

Check this out.

There's loads there, and first impressions, for me at least, are very positive.

There are some niggles - the mapping uses Microsoft software, which I suspect will be to do with legal issues, but I don't think it's as good and flexible as Google maps. There's a tab on the main menu called 'Find it on a map' where some of instructions on how to use it are actually wrong, and the information bubbles which come up don't give contact details - e.g. for Leisure Centres. OTOH, if you hover over the tab 'In my area' - but only on opening, or immediately after clicking the 'Home' tab, you get a form where you can ask for Leisure Centres, schools and a few other things, and get a different variety of map where the bubbles which appear when you click on an icon do give links and contact details.

I'm also interested by this on E-Petitions - perhaps this is the place to start a petition for no more public time or money to be wasted on the Sydenham Mosaic? This page also has a link in its text to a Lewisham guidance document on petitions - paper or electronic - but the link fails, and you fall back to the new home page.

Thanks for your feedback Tim,
We have fixed the petitions link so thanks for that.
The maps are a work in progress and I hope you will see them develop over time.
