A strange thing has happened recently. I am not sure whether I am the only one who has noticed it. Firstly in your letters page (News Shopper January 24) there were comments by a John Lynam trying to talk Lewisham up, saying what a great place it is. And then on page three of last weeks edition (News Shopper January 31) Superintendent Jeff Harris says that crime is down and the borough is one of Londons safest. Things might be looking up!
