Thank you Madam Mayor

Firstly may I thank the S151 Officer and Interim Chief Executive, and indeed all our staff, for their efforts in these very difficult times, with the issuing of what seems to be the first of many S114 notices.

Party/Rave last night in High Beech

I was contacted by residents about a large party/rave held in a currently unoccupied house in High Beech last night. This is a quiet Close just off Croham Manor Road with some properties backing onto Croham Hurst Woods.

Reports of squatters in crumbling Rail View PH Selsdon rd

Residents have let me know they believe squatters are now living in the Rail View Pub. I contacted the Planning Department but as usual nothing will be done as apparently the owner is out of the country and does not answer e mails!

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

 

Meetings at Croham Hurst Woods

I have had a number of meetings with the Council over the last couple of weeks in my role as the Chair of Friends of Croham Hurst Woods. I was pleased to meet up with new Forestry Advisor to the Council to discuss how the Friends can help further to care for Croham Hurst Woods.

Planning application 56 West Hill back again!

An application for a block of flats to replace a family home at the corner of West Hill opposite Croham Hurst Woods is back again. The last application was withdrawn.

Warning to dog owners from South Croydon Police Team

South Croydon Local Police Team warned dog owners to be careful when walking their dogs. Police received reports about trails of bread and other foods that contain raisins being left along roads in corners and under bushes. Raisins are toxic to dogs particularly if consumed in quantity.
