The Conservative Executive Mayor’s proposals to change how and what developers are charged (Community Infrastructyre Levy - CIL) when investing in our borough, carry risks for the future of our town centre. Why? Watch the statement👇🏽by Cllr King, Leader Croydon Labour Group

You’re so right Mario, though in the 100 day plan the Conservative Mayor did say that he would have achieved these deliverables by day 70.

Congratulations to Fr Martin McCarthy of St Gertrude’s church in South Croydon, on the occasion of the 45th anniversary of his ordination as a Priest. He has offered his parish in South Croydon love and faith. “It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you..." John 15:16

This is excellent news!
NEW: Bus and tram fares have been frozen once again 🧊❄️ With our Weekend Hopper Fare during the school holidays - unlimited daily bus journeys for the price of one - we’re making it cheaper and easier for Londoners to get across the city.

We could have a Mayor that fights for Croydon. We could have a Mayor that doesn’t roll over, throw their hands up and admit defeat instantly. We could have @RowennaDavis But we don’t. Not yet. Vote for change on 7th May. Let’s give Croydon hope again.
The Vue cinema in Grants is closing. Not an isolated case - it’s happening across the country. ⬆️Higher National Insurance. 🥊Punishing business rates. 💷Cost of living hitting demand. I’ve written to the Government today - this approach is squeezing the life out of our high streets. We’re getting Croydon back on track. National policy shouldn’t be holding us back. Letter 👇

£20m!!! This is fabulous news and a great example of the Labour government delivering for people in West Thornton. I’m excited to support @LabourSJ and help ensure this money reaches the people most in need in West Thornton. It can and will be a game changer.
Replying to @LabourSJ
2/ The area surrounding Croydon University Hospital (spanning parts of West Thornton, Selhurst, Broad Green and Bensham Manor) is getting £20 million from the Government as part of the Pride in Place programme.

Progress on fairer funding doesn’t reflect years of formal engagement. It reflects the election of a @UKLabour govt and a campaigning @RowennaDavis Both new since July 2024 onwards!
Progress on fairer funding reflects years of formal engagement and cross-party collaboration across London. I welcome the Government listening to the representations made for Croydon. The priority now is responsible delivery for residents and continued financial stability.

This is fabulous news for Croydon. Well done @RowennaDavis 👏 Well done @SteveReedMP 👏 Well done @UKLabour 👏
We did it! The Labour Government has delivered for Croydon. That's a 28% increase in funding for the council. FAIR FUNDING AT LAST!

Concerns about anti-social behaviour and poor lighting key concerns for residents in our Walk in the Dark with local police in Wandle Park. More work to do together!
