The entrepreneurial team behind two hyperlocal free London papers are to launch a third one in Lewisham, pledging  to hold the local “council to   account” and give the community “a voice and platform”.

Freelance journalist Kate White and Mark McGinlay, a social media manager, who live in Catford, Lewisham, are the brains behind the Lewisham Ledger, a title which will be published six times a year and run to at least 24 pages.

Like sister titles the Peckham Peculiar and Dulwich Diverter, the paper will cover a blend of local human interest stories, interviews, and endeavour to hold the local council to account.
