South Croydon - Haling Grove Clean Up

Today, following yet another late night party in Haling Grove, I attended with some helpers to clean up the mess that was left behind.
 

Brick by Brick application 279/289 Selsdon Road deferred at Planning Committee

This is an appalling Brick by Brick application. It seeks to build a huge 3 story block of flats on the green space of the current block at 279/289 Selsdon rd. At a stroke it removes garages, green amenity space and outlook, washing lines and will cause parking problems for current residents.

Coombe Wood School will NOT open in September

Yesterday I had confirmation from the Council that the hugely popular Coombe Wood School will not open as planned in September. As this is the most oversubscribed school ever in Croydon the news will be a great disappointment to parents and pupils who have a place.

Mattresses removed from pavement Bankside

Pleased to report that the five mattresses and bedding dumped on the pavement at Bankside South Croydon have been removed. Once I contacted the Council the removal was very prompt.

At last gully cleaning at Muggeridge Close
