Out now is the Croydon Insider, the latest round-table discussions on all things Croydon.
This episode focuses on Council Tax, the 15per cent hike, what happened at last week’s Town Hall meeting (one of our guests offers a unique, ringside perspective after presenting the petition) and discusses what might be in store at tomorrow’s budget-setting meeting.

Great programme. Would have been nice to have heard a voice from the Conservatives to balance the discussion out.
The Croydon Insider podcast is a politician-free zone. Thank goodness. None of guests were speaking on behalf of any political party.
And besides, we’ve taken an editorial decision not to give a platform to deliberate falsehoods and lies, as occurs elsewhere in the misguided pursuit of “balance”. Facts is facts.
Just wondering why my comment has been edited to remove the information about nurses and teachers pay?
