Purley Oaks & Riddlesdown

Endri, Alasdair and Helen are working hard in Purley Oaks and Riddlesdown, listening to local residents and acting on their concerns. Casework varies from tackling poor planning applications and construction practices, securing protected status for our local green spaces, ensuring waste collections take place, traffic is kept moving and our children and young people are cared for.

After 4 years serving Purley Oaks & Riddlesdown, Helen Redfern will be standing for election in Sanderstead ward in 2022. She's delighted to continue serving Purley Oaks & Riddlesdown until May, so please do visit her page to contact her!

After 12 years of service to Croydon, Simon Hoar is standing down. Please visit his page if you wish to contact him before May.

The Purley Oaks and Riddlesdown ward surgery is currently suspended as venues are not available for hire during the pandemic response. Do contact Endri, Alasdair or Helen directly so that they can discuss your casework by phone, Zoom call or, if safe to do so, in a public space.

Christingle Marmalade secured!

Christmas for my family starts at the Christingle Service at St Mary's on Purley Oaks Road. What seems like hundreds of people cram in to our church to consider the arrival of Christ and, in our church at least, leave with a lot of chocolate!!

Santa Claus is coming to town...

Lovely to see Father Christmas In Sanderstead this evening, and very kind of Rotary Selsdon and Sanderstead to give him a lift.

 

Check out their website to see where else he'll be visiting with Rotary over the next few days.

 

Do we need better signs for School Streets?

I have received several enquiries about the for-warning for the Schools Street on Montpelier Road.

Finally the Council has agreed that it will carry out a review of the signage on Brighton Road and will add further signs if it considers it appropriate. 

Refreshments on Riddlesdown Common

Eagle-eyed Riddlesdown walkers have noticed posters requesting tenders from potential providers of a refreshments concession on the Open Space. This is a suggestion that is often made by local residents so I hope that if this does happen that it will be a positive addition.
