Dear all,

Here is an update on Croydon Council’s proposed Local Plan, in which they seek to massively increase the number of properties through “Intensification” (their own description).

Recently, Croydon’s Labour Cabinet was presented with the latest version of the Borough’s Community Safety Strategy. The document is twelve months late and makes for some grim reading when it reports on Labour’s record on tackling crime.

Cllr Andy Stranack (Shadow Cabinet Member for Safer Croydon, Communities and Business Recovery) met with Angelique the founder of Croydon based charity Walk With Me UK.

Cllr. Andy Stranack (Shadow Cabinet Member for Safer Croydon, Communities and Business Recovery) joined with community and faith groups, Met Police Officers, representatives from Pathfinders and CVA along with individual residents and local community groups.

Cllr Andy Stranack (Shadow Cabinet Member for Safer Croydon, Communities and Business Recovery) met with the Palace for Life Team last week to hear about all the amazing charity does to provide services to local residents in Croydon and the wider South London area. Andy commented:-

It was a pleasure to thank the 100’s of Volunteers who stepped up to help fellow residents survive when COVID19 first struck in March 2020. The Thank you event took place at Farleigh Golf Course Club House on Friday 24th September.

Over the last few months Friday mornings at Croydon Voluntary Action (CVA) have become the favourite part of my week.

At a Cabinet meeting last week, Croydon Labour again exposed how they could not stick to any promises they make.

If you weren’t able to attend Croydon’s Cabinet meeting held last night, then fear not! Your Conservative Councillors were holding the Failing Labour Council to account – as we will keep doing. Here are the top five highlights:

A Reduction in Library Services

Conservative Councillors were heartbroken to learn of the murders of Cameron Smith in Shrublands and Damarie Roye in Bensham Manor over the last week.
