Local News

Labour's "consultation" about not re-opening the pool has just closed, but you can still protest by joining the demonstration outside the pool this Saturday 27/11 at 1:00pm. The demonstration will be led by our local MP Chris Philp, the Conservative mayoral candidate Jason Perry, and other local councillors and councillor candidates. The Purley market will also be open at that time, so please come and join us.

Please also put an entry in your diary for another demo on Monday Dec 13th at 6:00pm, just before the next full Council meeting. This will be at the Town Hall in Katharine Street, Croydon CR0 1NX
