From 2002 to May 2018 each parliamentary constituency in Croydon was made up of exactly eight wards, all fully contained within it. Shortly after taking control in 2014 Croydon Labour requested a review of the local authority boundaries.

Our Plan for Coulsdon Town

In October last year, Coulsdon voted massively in favour of change in the Referendum for an elected Mayor for Croydon.

On 5th May we have the opportunity to vote in elections that will bring about that change. Let's finish the job.

Croydon and ULEZ

The Conservative motion to oppose Labour's ULEZ extension was lost last night at a meeting of Croydon Council. The Labour Civic Mayor used her casting vote in favour of ULEZ. Not one Labour councillor stood up for Croydon residents. Shame on them.
