Celebration time: Andrew Sinclair, iC’s football correspondent, was in Leipzig to witness history being made. In our latest Croydon Insider podcast, he answers the question ‘What happens next?’ for Palace post-Glasner

The Croydon Insider returns to its more eclectic look at recent local news, with a visit from the website’s football correspondent to share his experience of travelling to Leipzig for the European Conference League final.

Plus, the panel discusses how an entire school career at the borough’s biggest private schools can cost £200,000 while our council is paying £100,000 per pupil per year to private education businesses who provide places for those with SEND – special educational needs and disabilities.

We hear what it is like to be a blind person out on the streets of Croydon canvassing voters before the local elections – careful of those door knobs!

And we catch up with the moves and changes in the top jobs at the Town Hall after May’s local elections – including a Croydon Insider EXCLUSIVE.
