Happy Christmas to all our readers!
Thank you also for all the comments – the ones that were publishable, anyway – and the emails, articles, commentaries, tip-offs and documents that you have sent through to us which have all contributed to making this a vibrant, much-read and much-noticed website.
Do, please, keep them coming! It is your help that allows us to deliver headline-setting journalism on a daily basis.
Our news-breaking content has led the way again on coverage of the council’s continuing travails, Mayor Perry unbalanced budget, Council Tax hikes and ever-growing budget overspends, the ever-lasting Westfield saga and the troubled Whitgift Foundation.
All that and London elections and a General Election, too.
Private Eye‘s Rotten Boroughs remains constantly fascinated by the goings-ons in Croydon and in Sutton.
A massive thanks to all of our guests on our latest venture, The Croydon Insider podcast, which provides a sharp analysis on all of the news, local and national, as it affects this and other south London boroughs.
It’s behind a pay wall, but there’s loads of good stuff there (we would say that, wouldn’t we?), but maybe you could check it out during one of the duller moments of the next few days, and in doing so help to support our investigative and insightful journalism.
We’ll be back in 2025 with more podcasts, including Under The Flyover interviews and the new Andrew Fisher Interview, in depth and informed, as premium content for subscribers, all via Spotify and Patreon
Please keep the emails coming.
And if you haven’t done so already, give us a follow on Bluesky by clicking here.
We’ll be back on Friday – December 27.
In the meantime, Walter Cronxite, Ken Lee, Carl Shilton, Bertie Worcester-Park, Jeremy Clackson and the rest of the crew are off to the Inside Croydon Towers Christmas party. Trebles all-round!
So have yourself a merry, merry Christmas.
