33% Council Tax increase: Mayor Perry’s legacy for Croydon

Typical households will be paying £600 more in Council Tax in the coming year than they did before the Conservative Mayor took office, while yet more services are cut. But part-time Perry and his councillor colleagues did vote themselves a pay rise. By WALTER CRONXITE, Political Editor

A Town Hall meeting tonight will rubber-stamp Mayor Jason Perry’s decision to increase Council Tax in April by the maximum allowed annually of 4.99%.

It means that Tory Perry will be seeking re-election as Croydon Mayor with the dark legacy of having hiked residents’ Council Tax bills by one-third since 2023.

The latest local tax increase represents a massive political failure for piss-poor Perry and his cabinet member for finance, Jason Cummings. They gambled with the finances of every resident in Croydon by asking special permission from their Conservative colleague, Michael Gove, when he was Secretary of State for local government, to be allowed to increase Council Tax by 15% in April 2023.

Perry and Cummings’ cunning plan was to front-end the pain of Council Tax increases in 2023, in order to freeze Council Tax this year, to hand them a political advantage ahead of the local elections. Continue reading

Read in full MP’s email of complaint to Royal Mail boss

With some addresses in the borough getting only one postal delivery every fortnight, Croydon South Conservative MP has written to Alistair Cochrane, Royal Mail’s interim CEO: ‘This…cannot reasonably be characterised as a short-term disruption’.
Here’s MP Chris Philp’s letter – sent by email – in full:

Dear Mr Cochrane

I am writing to raise serious and long-standing concerns about unacceptable postal delivery failures affecting Croydon South, particularly those linked to the CR5, CR2, CR8 and CR0 postcodes.

Royal Fail: interim CEO Alistair Cochrane

In June 2025, the BBC reported that only 70% of first-class mail was delivered on time in Croydon, well below the statutory target of 93%.

This is not an isolated local issue but part of a wider national failure, reflected in the fact that Royal Mail has been fined four times by Ofcom in recent years for missing its delivery targets.

That said, the situation in parts of Croydon South has become especially acute. Residents report highly irregular deliveries, with some areas experiencing extended periods with no letter deliveries at all. This has now been ongoing for several months and cannot reasonably be characterised as a short-term disruption.

The consequences are serious and entirely foreseeable. Missed NHS appointments, unpaid bills and delayed official correspondence are no longer isolated incidents but routine occurrences for constituents and local businesses. Continue reading

Royal Fail: MP Philp calls on business secretary to intervene

Last year, only 7-in-10 first-class post items arrived the next day in Croydon. Now, iC readers from Coulsdon to South Norwood say that their postal service has got even worse

Royal Mail’s third-class service in delivering the post to Croydon residents and businesses has now drawn a letter of complaint from one of the borough’s MPs.

Chris Philp, the Tory shadow home secretary and Croydon South’s MP, has fired off a missive to the interim CEO of Royal Mail. Though judging by the delays in deliveries round here, it could be weeks before Alistair Cochrane receives the letter.

Philp has also written to Labour’s business secretary, Peter Kyle, “to demand immediate improvement”.

Inside Croydon’s readers have been contacting us (by email, obviously, since the post is completely unreliable) over the lack of a delivery service from Royal Mail’s Factory Lane depot, which sorts post for the CR0 post code, the largest in the country, as well as serious failures for post in SE25, where post is delivered from the Holmesdale Road depot.

Philp’s letter to Kyle flags poor deliveries across CR5, CR2 and CR8, as well as CR0. Continue reading

Trinity submits planning application for £40m co-ed conversion

All change: Trinity School will start taking girl pupils in Year 6 and 7 from September 2027

Less than a year after announcing the £30,000 a year fee-paying school would start offering places to girls, plans have gone in for works that will see its expansion to 1,400 pupils.
By STEVEN DOWNES

Plans for a £40million extension to Trinity School in Shirley have been submitted.

The first major re-build since the school moved to the site is intended to adapt and upgrade the fee-paying school to be fully co-educational by 2031.

Trinity, part of the Whitgift Foundation, announced its co-ed plans less than a year ago, with the first cohort of 10- and 11-year-old girls expected to be admitted from September 2027. Trinity has admitted girls to its Sixth Form since 2011. Currently, a year’s fees to atend the school come in at £30,000 per pupil.

Trinity is one of the two large independent schools run by the Whitgift Foundation. The move to make Trinity co-ed was a reaction by the charity, the biggest landowners in Croydon, to their earlier decision to close their only girls’ school, the 900-pupil Old Palace, based in Old Town and South Croydon, which finally ended more than 130 years of educating young women in Croydon last July.

Competition! Win tickets for London Mozart Players’ concert

The London Mozart Players first concert at the Fairfield Halls of 2026 is taking place on March 8, and Inside Croydon is delighted to be able to offer three pairs of tickets as prizes in a terrific competition exclusively for our paying subscribers.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s St John Passion is a powerful exploration of what it means to be human – an emotional retelling of Christ’s final hours that speaks as deeply today as it did when it was first composed 300 years ago.

“St John Passion connects with our sense of universal humanity through music which is full of heartbreak, beauty and reflection,” the London Mozart Players say.

“Listeners can turn to Bach to make sense of suffering and find solace in a world that can be cruel.”

This London Mozart Players’ performance in the Fairfield Hall’s magnificent Concert Hall at 4.30pm on Sunday, March 8, has a very strong Croydon contigent.

The London Mozart Players are the Fairfield Halls’ resident orchestra, and this concert is the first of several performances the LMP will be giving at Croydon’s cherished arts centre this year. Continue reading

New Addington residents’ worries over farm pit of ‘toxic sludge’

‘If an adult was to slip, trip or fall into it… they would not be able to escape. A child would have absolutely no chance of surviving’

Slurry pit: the steep-sided, deep pool on farmland near New Addington now contains a toxic sludge that residents are concerned would be impossible to escape

Serious concerns are being raised by residents about the dangers around a large slurry pit that has been dug just outside New Addington.

Slurry pits are reservoirs built on farmland to collect and store liquid manure, urine, bedding material and wash water from livestock buildings, where the by-products are stored before being utilised on the land as natural fertiliser.

The new pit is reckoned to be about half the size of a football pitch. It has been dug just across the borough boundary, in Bromley, off Layhams Road on the land of Wickham Court Farm, near a National Grid sub-station at Rowdown. Continue reading

GMB to hold strike ballot over weighting pay in Merton schools

Support staff working at schools in Merton are to be balloted for strike action over a long-standing pay discrepancy.

Merton leader: the GMB is calling on council leader Ross Garrod to settle the pay dispute

Teaching Assistants and school support staff in Merton receive London Weighting at the Outer London rate. Yet their teacher colleagues in the same schools receive the higher Inner London rate – a difference on average of £1,400 per year per employee.

Merton is usually regarded as being an outer London borough.

GMB union members working in Merton’s schools submitted a petition of more than 500 signatures last year to protest at the discrepancy in pay treatment. But the union’s discussions with the Labour-controlled Merton council have broken down.

The GMB’s members’ ballot will open on February 27, with any action to take place in the run-up to the upcoming local elections in May. Continue reading

Gimme shelter! TfL to trial updated bus stops in 12 boroughs

Transport correspondent JEREMY CLACKSON on a roll-out of enhanced bus shelters, with better lighting, improved seating and some in ‘high-crime areas’ to be fitted with CCTV

Improvements: TfL’s trial shelters include vandal-proofing, better lighting and some have CCTV

Croydon, where almost all the borough’s bus shelters were ripped out five years ago due to the crass incompetence of council officials, is about to get a new design of shelter as part of a 12-month trial being conducted by Transport for London.

Croydon’s failed experiment with “smart” bus shelters demonstrated that the basic shelter with seats really doesn’t need to be meddled with, but the new designs in the TfL trial are promising improvements which include better lighting, what they describe as “a more sustainable modular construction approach”, more robust anti-vandalism materials and, significantly, CCTV at selected shelters.

TfL says that the trial shelters will be installed at 27 locations across the capital, but they are unable to specify where, as the bus stop locations have yet to be decided.

Croydon is among 12 boroughs where the new designed shelters are to be trialled, along with Bexley, Kingston, Lambeth and Southwark. Continue reading

RSPCA is seeking your views on the return of dog licensing

Animal charity the RSPCA is inviting people in Croydon to take part in a survey over the future care of dogs, and specifically the return of dog licences.

Dog welfare: the Dogs Trust and RSPCA are conducting a survey on dog licensing

Together with the Dogs Trust, another charity, and the York Health Economics Consortium, the survey is part of a research project that will explore how dog ownership could be made safer and better supported. Researchers are seeking input from dog owners, and non-owners, to explore whether dog licensing could play a role in improving welfare, safety and outcomes for all concerned, animals and people.

Dr Samantha Gaines, the RSPCA’s dog welfare expert, said: “We want to hear from as many people as possible to help improve responsible dog ownership, and ensure dog owners as well as those who come into contact with dogs are supported.

“Feedback from the public is essential for helping to ensure that any future policies reflect the needs of dog owners and the wider community.” Continue reading

Palace winger Harrison’s Match of the Day at Croydon Minster

Marriage lines: a newspaper cutting from 1959 showing Bernie Harrison’s wedding to Doris Moyes, surrounded by many footballing friends and teammates

DAVID MORGAN uses the Minster archive to trace the life and career of former Hampshire batsman and Crystal Palace winger Bernie Harrison, who played at Selhurst Park in the era when footballers earned a maximum £20 per week

What was known then as Croydon Parish Church had its very own Match of the Day on Friday, July 10, 1959.

That was the wedding day for Bernard Harrison and local woman Doris Moyse.

Harrison was then a Crystal Palace footballer, with the Glaziers playing in the old Third Division South.

Bernie Harrison’s wedding drew many footballers from across London. Doris’s brother Alec was the centre forward at Millwall, who had signed him in 1958 after he had scored one goal in four appearances for Palace.

Finding a date for the wedding, even in July, must have proved tricky for Harrison, who was a dual professional, who played football in the winter and was a county cricketer for Hampshire in the summer. Continue reading

Slot machine operators seek 24-hour licence in Crystal Palace

The operators of a gaming centre in Crystal Palace have submitted an application to the council which would enable them to stay open 24 hours a day.

Slot machines: Cllr Claire Bonham and Yusuf Osman are opposing the licence extension at the Admiral slots shop

Admiral, who run the slot machine shop on Westow Hill, has requested to vary their opening hours and the number of staff on the premises. The centre is already open from 9am to 11pm every day.

Claire Bonham, the Liberal Democrat councillor for Crystal Palace and Upper Norwood, is opposing the application, and is calling on residents to add to her objections.

“I am firmly against 24-hour gambling in the Triangle,” Councillor Bonham said.

“There is simply no need for this premises to be open all night. Gambling has the potential to cause serious harm to vulnerable people in our community.

“We do not want 24-hour gambling in our town centre.” Continue reading

Labour issues late appeal for election candidates to volunteer

EXCLUSIVE: With little more than 12 weeks until polling day, the party of Mandelson, McSweeney and Starmer has yet to name its candidates in 11 of this borough’s 28 voting districts.
By WALTER CRONXITE, Political Editor 

The Labour Party in Croydon is struggling to fill all 70 candidate slots for the local elections, which are due to be held on May 7.

Labour members throughout the borough received a notification this week from the party’s London region office, declaring that 2026 selections have been “extended”. It is little more than 12 weeks to election day.

The email was sent the day after the Labour Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, stood up in the Commons and admitted that he had known about Peter Mandelson’s continuing association with paedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein before he appointed the Blairite peer as the King’s Ambassador to Washington, one of the most prestigious and important jobs in diplomacy.

Purley writer Dobbyn named in top dozen of poetry competition

Johnny Dobbyn, one of Inside Croydon’s long-time contributors, has had one of his poems, Kill Switch, highly commended in the 2026 Daily Telegraph poetry competition.

Poet, innit: Johnny Dobbyn

Kill Switch was chosen among the best works from a record entry – more than 700 – all written on the set theme of “Mothers”.

The Telegraph announced the results yesterday, with the winning entry, While You Still Know Who I Am, by William Horsted, published in the newspaper and read in an online video by actor Sam West.

Dobbyn, who lives in Purley, works as a journalist. Last year he completed his 50th season of playing rugby, man and boy, for John Fisher School and, more recently, Purley-John Fisher. Dobbyn wrote about the tries and trials of coarse rugby for this website for several years, charting the slow decline of the game at grassroots level.

A frequent guest on the Croydon Insider podcast, Dobbyn has also written for this website about mental health programmes and domestic violence. His reporting of the Kulpa app, provided for the victims of abuse, helped to persuade the Metropolitan Police to trial its use by officers across London. Continue reading

Highly commended: Johnny Dobbyn’s poem ‘Kill Switch’

Kill Switch

By Johnny Dobbyn
Highly commended, Daily Telegraph poetry competition 2026

The red-eyed imp ischemia
sat in the corner of her kitchen,
squatting in the litter tray,
and wondering when to make its presence felt.

It saw the Post-it affirmations
stuck to the fridge,
and sniggered at her silly notes
offering prayers to the angels.

Useless sticky paper pieces,
pointless yellow rectangles,
handwritten words of manifestation,
showing a preference for aphorism over action.

Better would have been
a padlock on the biscuit tin,
fewer fillings of the ashtray,
a walk round the block and less magical thinking.

Ischemia (iss-kee-me-ah)
is a hard word, a hard word among many.
Metastasis (meh-tass-teh-sis);
thymic (thigh-mick); sarcoma (sar-co-maa).

Hard to say, hard to read, harder to hear.
They are many and varied yet all mean the same.
But it was the nasty little imp this day,
and one hard to spot the doctors named.

It was in the small hours
– it’s always in the small hours –
when the soft-voiced call came
that ischemia was in bed seven.

In a dark warm room
lit with diodes and neons,
among the sounds of quiet sobs
and the shuffle of Crocs.

All by mouth was lollipops,
wet pink swabs of foam.
Water on a stick, and scant enough at that
while the clipboard proffered demanded consent.

She was once the mother and now the child,
so I sang her all the songs she sang to me
– go to sleep now, my sleepy head –
as they reached for the switch beside her bed.

Deputy mayor approves of Shirley Park’s free school meal deal

Joanne McCartney, the deputy mayor for children and families, visited Shirley Park Primary School this week to see how the Mayor of London’s universal free school meals programme for the capital’s state primary schools is benefiting children and their families.

Dinner time: Joanne McCartney, the deputy mayor for children and families, joined pupils at Shirley Park Primary this week to sample their school dinners

McCartney, accompanied by Croydon East MP Natasha Irons, was led by a group of pupils for a tour as she heard how the school is incorporating nutritious meals into everyday life. She joined them for a healthy lunch and heard first-hand about what the Mayor’s free school meals programme means to them and their families.

The scheme is saving families more than £500 per child each year, while ensuring every primary school pupil can enjoy a hot, nutritious meal every day.

Last year an independent evaluation by Impact on Urban Health found that free school meals in London significantly improved the lives of children and their families, not only by easing financial pressures, but by improving children’s health and wellbeing, supporting better concentration in lessons and strengthening school communities.

Charity formed last October buys two Old Palace buildings

The Rise School of Excellence has paid £750,000 for two buildings on the site of the former girls’ fee-paying school, as Croydon’s biggest landowners, the Whitgift Foundation, continue to dispose of their properties.
By GENE BRODIE, education correspondent

Making a splash: the swimming pool in Old Palace School – not one of its heritage buildings – has been part of a £750,000 property deal with Rise School of Excellence

The piecemeal break-up of the former sites of Old Palace girls’ private school has continued with the Jubilee Buildings on Church Road and school swimming pool being sold for £750,000 to the Rise School of Excellence, the Whitgift Foundation has confirmed today.

This follows the £4.7million sale last summer of The Great Hall, Old Palace, Science Block and Cathedral Building, to be used by a special educational needs school which opened last September. The Foundation had previously sold the Melville Road site of Old Palace’s prep school for £7million to a Hindu education organisation.

The latest sale brings total receipts for property disposals by the Foundation to around £12.5million in the past 12 months. Those sales will only cover a small part of the £55million lost from the Foundation’s unrestricted funds since 2017.

That’s NEET: College offers students fresh start in January

Croydon College has moved to try to improve the training and employment opportunities for the borough’s young people by opening its doors to students starting new courses in January.

Fresh start: Croydon College is helping get NEETs back into education

Croydon has one of the highest proportions of NEETs in London – young people not in education, employment or training. Croydon College believes that January enrolment offers an alternative pathway back into structured learning.

Last month, 138 16-to-18-year-olds enrolled as part of the College’s January intake, “giving learners a second chance to re-engage with education rather than waiting until the next academic year”, the college said. Continue reading

Krapp comes to Stanley Arts and shows Croydon how to do it

David Westhead and Stockard Channing presented a one-night-only performance of a Samuel Beckett classic in South Norwood last night.
KEN TOWL says he was fortunate to be there

Reel to reel: David Westhead getting down with his ‘other self’ in Beckett’s Krapp’s Last Tape

Two conversations, and, sandwiched between them, Samuel Beckett’s one-act, one-man play, Krapp’s Last Tape, featuring memory, regret and bananas.

So, last things first: I enjoyed the Q&A session after the play. The questions were asked by members of last night’s appreciative audience at Stanley Hall. They were answered by actor David Westhead, the one-man in question, and by the director, Stockard Channing.

Yes, that Stockard Channing, whose extensive CV includes Rizzo in the movie Grease and First Lady Abbey Bartlet in The West Wing. Called by Westhead to join him on stage, all eyes were on Channing as she rose from the audience. She looked a lot like Elizabeth Taylor. The light seemed to shimmer around her. Here was Hollywood royalty in the Stanley Hall. South Norwood hadn’t experienced this level of glamour and celebrity since Captain Sensible opened the Sensible Gardens in 2014. Continue reading

Planning consent granted for £1bn Cancer Hub in Belmont

Sutton Council has granted planning permission for the £1billion expansion of the London Cancer Hub, near the site of the Royal Marsden Hospital in Belmont.

Green light: Sutton Council has granted planning permission for the £1bn Cancer Hub scheme

The expansion across a 12-acre site is expected to create 3,000 jobs, mostly in highly skilled research and development and life sciences-related roles.

The approved plans will deliver around 1million sq ft of state-of-the-art laboratory and research space. Once the full Cancer Hub is completed, it is expected to support around 13,000 jobs in total and contribute an estimated £1.2billion in Gross Value Added to the national economy, according to Sutton Council’s own figures.

The new buildings will target net-zero carbon in operation and deliver the amenities and public realm, as well as affordable homes for approximately 220 key workers. Continue reading

MP Reed gets dragged into the scandal over Peter Mandelson

The Croydon MP and friend of Morgan McSweeney is ‘disingenuous’ in his claims over how his aide blocked debate about the controversial appointment of Ambassador to the United States.
By STEVEN DOWNES, Editor, Inside Croydon

Scandal: the role of Morgan McSweeney in the appointment of Peter Mandelson as Ambassador to the US could bring down the Prime Minister

Mostly, here at Inside Croydon, we report the news. But sometimes, we make the news, as was the case when ITV’s Good Morning Britain quoted from our pages as they put a cabinet minister on the spot over his part in the cover-up over the traitor Peter Mandelson.

The scandal around Mandelson, his links with the convicted paedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his then appointment as His Majesty’s Ambassador to the United States threaten to end Keir Starmer’s time as Prime Minister.

At Prime Minister’s Questions yesterday Starmer finally admitted, far too late, that Mandelson’s continuing links to Epstein after the latter’s conviction were known when the decision was made to appoint the Blairite peer to the important Washington job. Continue reading

National Gallery artworks exhibit comes to Croydon’s doorstep

On your doorstep: the National Gallery has come to Croydon with reproductions of 30 of its prized masterpieces, which will be displayed at nine locations around the borough until July

Alright, not the original masterpieces. But faithful, life-sized reproductions of artworks from the National Gallery’s collection. Continue reading
