Fixing the finances: join the discussion with our podcast panel

insidecroydon

In-depth and informed, this latest episode of The Croydon Insider looks back on a week of meetings at the Town Hall where residents’ Council Tax was hiked again and the council sought another government bail-out, this time £136million.

Joining our panel of loyal readers Cheryl Fergus-Ferrell, Brian Finegan and Yusuf Osman is Councillor Claire Bonham, the LibDem councillor for Crystal Palace and Upper Norwood ward, who faces our Questions for the Councillor.

In our podcast, the panel discusses Mayor Perry’s latest unbalanced Budget, as well as his U-turn over the Croydon Carer’s Centre on George Street and the axing of the council’s Youth Engagement team.

We also take a look at the mounting problems faced by residents – many in shared ownership properties – living in new-build homes by Brick by Brick.

And we have an eyewitness account – from the Holmesdale stand – on the horrific challenge suffered by Crystal Palace striker JP Mateta in Saturday’s FA Cup tie against Millwall.
