Matthew Dresch is a former Sunday Mirror journalist with a decade of reporting experience. His investigations and interviews have featured on the front pages of several national newspapers. Before joining the Mirror he worked as a local news reporter in Worcestershire.
What is the Lewisham Letter?
The Lewisham Letter is a news site that launched in August 2025, with the aim of bringing local journalism back to the borough of Lewisham.
We were inspired to set up the site after the Public Interest News Foundation identified Lewisham as the biggest “local news desert” in the UK.
Relentless cuts to the media means Lewisham has been left without a proper newspaper. We hope to change that.
We believe in the importance of local journalism – to hold power to account and to expose wrongdoing.
If you believe in the same thing, we ask you to support us.
If you have a story you’d like to share with us, please email [email protected]
