HUNDREDS of visitors are expected to attend an open day to view £15.9m regeneration plans for Lewisham town centre.

People can see the plans at an information day at Lewisham Market on September 30.

Urban Renaissance in Lewisham (URL) is a Single Regeneration Budget-funded programme aimed at raising the profile of Lewisham by encouraging investment and employment opportunities.

The redevelopment will create a public transport interchange, a new town square and a landscaped park.

Lewisham Council's URL team will be present at the open day to answer questions.

Deputy Mayor Councillor Heidi Alexander said: "We plan to build on the great success of the annual event and are keen to hear people's views."
