Jason Perry

South Croydon
Leader of the Opposition, Croydon Council

Jason Perry is married with two children, aged nineteen and seventeen, and lives in South Croydon Ward. He represented Croham from 2002 to 2018, and South Croydon from 2018 to present and has been a Croydon Councillor since 1994. He is very pleased to have been elected as a councillor for the new South Croydon ward, which covers much of the old Croham Ward. Over the years he has played a key role in helping residents in their dealings with the Council and greatly enjoys serving the people of Croham and South Croydon. Jason has sat on various committees of the Council and has been a previous chairman of the Licensing Committee, where he took a key interest in the implementation of the 2004 Licensing Act. He has also been vice chairman of both the Strategic Planning Committee and the Planning Committee.

Jason was a member of the Council Cabinet between 2008 and 2014, with responsibility for planning and regeneration. During that time he helped to create and foster an environment in which investors wanted to come to Croydon, thereby creating the greatest regeneration opportunities for a generation. Jason is now Leader of the Conservative Group on the Council.

He is still committed to helping Croydon realise it's potential as a great place to live and work. Jason is Managing Director of a local trade supply company.

Dear Cllr. Ali

An Open Letter

Croydon’s Failing Labour Council is Bankrupt. Official.

Croydon’s failing Labour Council is officially bankrupt - that's the view of the most senior finance officer at the Council, who today issued a Section 114 notice.

Lest We Forget

I was honoured to attend a small but befitting ceremony at the Town Hall this morning, and lay a wreath on behalf of the Croydon Council Conservative Group.

During these difficult times it is only right that we still make time to honour those who gave their tomorrow for our today.

Planning, as always, is a contentious issue, particularly in a climate where anything seems to be allowed by the current Labour Council.

 

Today we delivered more of our regular Planning News leaflets to homes around three recently submitted applications.
