New council homes named in honour of Councillor Christine Grice

Wednesday 30 April 2025

Part of a new development of Royal Borough of Greenwich council homes has been named in honour of the late Councillor Christine Grice, who passed away five years ago. 

Christine Grice Gardens was opened at a ceremony attended by Cllr Grice’s husband Chris and members of their family, Council Leader Cllr Anthony Okereke, Mayor of Royal Greenwich Cllr Jit Ranabhat, MP for Eltham and Chislehurst Clive Efford and ward councillors past and present. 

Cllr Anthony Okereke, Leader of the Royal Brough of Greenwich, said: “Councillor Christine Grice’s dedication to the people of Royal Greenwich was an inspiration to everyone who came into contact with her. From the time of her election as a ward councillor in 2014 to her appointment as Deputy Leader of the Council in 2020 she fought tirelessly to champion fairness and equality for all in our borough. 

“We have named part of this beautiful new social housing development after Cllr Grice to honour her memory. The council has built these homes in her former ward for those most in need across the borough, the kind of people Cllr Grice worked so hard to help. These sustainable houses will give people the safety and security they need to build healthy, happy lives, and we hope this is an honour befitting her legacy.”
