Purley & Woodcote

Simon, Oni and Badsha are hard at work for you in Purley & Woodcote. We deal with about 40 casework items every month, ranging from missed bin collections and social services issues through to children's schooling and of course the dozens of utterly inappropriate planning applications which continue to flood in all over the ward.  It's outrageous that Purley is currently supplying about 40% of all new homes in the whole of Croydon - what about the other 26 wards? 

We're making sure that Purley and Woodcote has very strong representation in the town hall.

We are delighted to meet residents by appointment to discuss any local issues; please contact us to make arrangements.
