BREXIT

What you may need to know about BREXIT.

It is uncertain what the UK’s vote to leave the European Union (EU) might mean for Lewisham residents. 23,000 people from other EU countries live in the borough of Lewisham, and we can appreciate their concerns about their right to remain.

At present, the UK is due to leave the EU on 29 March 2019.

We will not know the full impact of exiting the European Union until any withdrawal agreement between the UK and the EU is approved by Parliament. That process is ongoing.

Everyone’s circumstances vary.

You should get advice about your particular circumstances – ideally independent legal advice – and regularly check the Government website and other relevant websites for updates as the exit negotiations develop.
