South Croydon

Maria Gatland & Michael Neal are the current Councillors for South Croydon, having served our area since 2002. Danielle Denton is the local Conservative Candidate for South Croydon in the 2022 by-election, which has come about as a result of Jason Perry (previously a South Croydon Councillor) being elected Mayor. Maria, Michael and Danielle are passionate about securing the best possible future for South Croydon, and making sure that we have a South Croydon to be proud of.

Camp set up under Footbridge Dorntonroad/Whitmead Close

Residents alerted me to a camp that has been set up under the British Rail Footbridge that leads from the steps at Moreton and Dornton roads across to Whitmead Close and St Peter’s Primary School. I had a look and it’s sad and concerning that someone who is homeless is living here.
