Nominations of candidates to stand in the General Election on July 4 closed at 4pm today.
Candidates for three Croydon constituencies – Croydon East, Croydon West and Croydon South – were supposed to be published by 5pm on the council website.

The fourth Croydon constituency, Streatham and Croydon North, is being handled by Lambeth Council. Their candidate lists had not been published by 6.30pm tonight.

Here are the candidates for the Croydon seats:
