Good to see our reporting on the government’s summer cuts to Greenwich’s trains featuring in the Telegraph this weekend. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05... Thanks to the hundreds of people who support greenwichwire.co.uk with a contribution each month. Real reporting gets noticed.
It was great to meet Shooters Hill residents at Shrewsbury House to talk Greenwich Wire and all things local news (and apologies for leaving in a hurry at the end!) @darryl1974.bsky.social is always happy to talk to local groups - drop us a line!

Life going on pretty much as normal in Lewisham - a couple of hundred people at a peaceful “solidarity with migrants” demo, otherwise people going about their business (and trying to find their bus stops…)
