Litter Pick in Croydon Central

Removing offensive graffiti from Sandilands tram stop

Earlier this month, Cllr Jeet Bains was contacted by the HOME residents association to alert us to excessive graffiti that had appeared on the Sandilands tram stop.

Cllr Bains and I worked together to take swift action, contacting TfL and others to ensure removal.

We picked the litter but Council didn't collect

Last Saturday I arranged a litter pick in Ashburton Park and we were joined by lots of marvellous folk who helped out. Several bags were collected and it was agreed with the Council that they would pick up those bags that same day. This is the norm with such community litter picks.

If the Council can't, shall we?

I have received a number of requests from residents about volunteering to do that which the Council no longer can or will because of their cash-strapped situation.

HOME Residents' Association AGM

On Sunday I attended the HOME Residents' Association AGM on Outram Road. It was great to see everyone in the garden, eat some amazing home-made cakes, and enjoy a glass or two of summery drinks.

 

Croydon's Libraries Devastated

Are libraries important? We all have childhood memories of our local libraries. For me, I remember reading Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Hobbit for the first time.

Brick by Brick and today's Sobering Croydon Budget

Tonight all Croydon Councillors will be called upon to vote on a budget put forward by the Labour administration that bankrupted our town. It will be a sober moment, one that calls for calm heads and puts the people of Croydon first.

Business Grants from the Government

The government has provided COVID-19 funding for businesses in the form of the Local Restrictions Support Grants (LRSG) and the Additional Restrictions Grants (ARG). The LRSG grants are for those businesses with an NNDR (business rates) account in their local authority area.
