Residents are organising a public meeting to discuss the plans for the development of Cane Hill and the council’s scheme to develop Lion Green Road car park.
Many residents are increasingly concerned that council-backed plans for a second access road from Cane Hill is an uncosted, pre-election offer which would not necessarily address the traffic issues created by building a nearly 700 new homes on the site.
And there remains significant reservations about how Croydon Council wants to build a supermarket on the Lion Green car park, the loss of parking in the town centre and the traffic impact which such a development will have.
Councillors and developers have been invited to the meeting.
- Cane Hill road deal not enough to stop all residents’ objections
- Council leader Fisher commits to paying for Cane Hill road
- Perry’s double life as building supplier and planning official
- Angry Coulsdon residents want to break away from Croydon
