Croydon Central

From 2002 to May 2018 each parliamentary constituency in Croydon was made up of exactly eight wards, all fully contained within it. Shortly after taking control in 2014 Croydon Labour requested a review of the local authority boundaries.

Shirley

Shirley is split into two wards, Shirley North and Shirley South, largely along Wickham Road, then following Shirley Road. 

Please use our map to find your relevant ward team.

Shirley South

Jason, Scott and the Shirley South Conservatives are hard at work for you. We make sure our residents voices are heard in the Town Hall, and make sure they feel represented. Whether it's planning, roads or anything else please contact us.

Shirley Neighbourhood Care

I had the pleasure to visit Shirley Neighbourhood Care yesterday in their new home, the Baptist Church in Wickham Road.

Croydon in crisis

I travelled through Croydon yesterday from the North to the South, it was sad and depressing, this Council has been in power for eight years. Years of mismanagement, lack of governance and complete indifference to the concerns of the residents.

Damaged fence and poorly maintained grounds at the Willows

Every month, residents at the Willows pay a maintenance fee to the council.  At the moment, they are very concerned that they’re not getting much for it.

Much of the fencing has fallen into disrepair.  The grounds are not being well maintained.

Cabinet

I logged onto Cabinet last evening and was subjected again to a lecture, apparently residents must understand what this administration tells us,  debate was stifled and challenge was not allowed.

Brick by Brick incompetence

I visited Longheath Gardens last Friday and met with tenants who have the misfortune to live next to a Brick by Brick new build.

Progress on Arena tram pathway

The council has made some progress on the regularly-blocked pathway from Longheath Gardens to Arena tram.

Officers have requested quotes for the installation of “appropriate physical obstacles to prevent the vehicles by-passing the new bollards and traversing onto the grass verge.”
