Park Hill & Whitgift

Cllr. Jade Appleton and the Park Hill and Whitgift Conservatives are hard at work for you. We are determined to protect Park Hill and the Whitgift Estate's special character. We are working hard to ensure Park Hill and Whitgift has strong representation in the Town Hall and to stand up for our residents.

If there's something Jade can help you with, or something she should know about please do get in touch.

As your Councillor, Jade promises to:

Oppose inappropriate development – the Labour Council doesn’t understand the unique character of Park Hill and Whitgift, Jade will work to protect it from oversized and unrealistic development that would be intrusive and out of keeping with the area.

Protect green spaces - Lloyd Park and Park Hill Park are central to our community. Jade will work to protect and maintain these spaces, keeping them clean, accessible and open for us all to enjoy.

Keep Park Hill and Whitgift safe and tidy – Jade will work to ensure good links between residents and businesses with the local policing team to tackle issues such as speeding. I will lead on tackling fly tipping and organise regular litter picks.

Support local community activity and groups – from Holi festival taking place in Park Hill Park to Park Runs in Lloyd Park, Jade wants to work with all community groups to help deliver new projects, promote their events and tackle issues they are facing.

I love walking around the Park Hill and Whitfgift area. It’s a place that’s truly unique in Croydon, and it’s that special quality that I want to protect as your local councillor.
