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).

I was delighted to be invited to attend BWAC's AGM earlier today. We heard an annual report and were then treated to a delicious lunch.

A few years ago, the Council started planting lots of trees in the North & Centre of the borough, but the South was strangely omitted from the calculations, despite the large number of trees being cut down every month as a result of the reckless approval of so many entirely inappropriate plan

Madam Mayor I wish to draw to the attention of all Councillors that there is a possibility that Purley Pool may never reopen after being closed in March due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Other Croydon pools have reopened but not Purley Pool - why is this?

Yesterday we were delighted to welcome the Mayor of Croydon who presided over the official opening ceremony for the magnificent sculpture by Alan Potter which has been installed in Purley.

Every resident of Purley knows that the town is a great place to live – but few appreciate the proud part it played in helping Britain transform from an agricultural economy to an industrial power-house.

Following the Croydon Council elections on 3rd May, Croydon Conservatives have today announced their Deputy Shadow Cabinet positions.

Deputy Shadow Cabinet Member - Economy and Jobs: Gareth Streeter

Deputy Shadow Cabinet Member - Planning: Scott Roche
