MP Jones issues correction on her inaccurate claim on growth

Posted on March 4, 2025 by insidecroydon

Sarah Jones, the Labour MP for Croydon West, has had her work in Parliament as the government’s industry minister given an ‘F’ grade, after she made a false claim in the House of Commons.

Ministerial blunder: Croydon West MP Sarah Jones has been told to get her facts right

The AI-powered truth checker Full Fact issued the gentlest of slaps on the wrist last night, under the headline: “Sarah Jones the latest minister to repeat inaccurate claim about UK’s projected growth”. Oh.

Full Fact was responding to Jones’s claim that, “The International Monetary Fund and the OECD predict that the UK will be Europe’s fastest-growing economy over the next few years.” Except that they don’t.

Jones had been responding to LibDem MP Clive Jones (no relation), who raised the spectre of expensive-to-buy electric vehicles, and the chainsaw-weilding President of the United States, Elon Musk. Continue reading →

Council reaches out to residents for more help with fostering

Posted on March 4, 2025 by insidecroydon

Croydon has a critical shortage of foster carers, according to the council.

Fostering help: the council is appealing for people to volunteer to provide stable homes for youngsters

There are 231 children and young people looked after by 142 fostering households across the borough. “But more carers are needed to provide safe and loving homes for local children so that they are not placed in foster homes far away from their families,” Croydon Council said in a statement.

This week, until March 9, the council’s fostering team will be running a series of drop-in sessions for anyone wanting to find out more about becoming a foster carer. There is no need to book, and social workers as well as current foster carers will be there to answer any questions.

“In one of London’s most diverse boroughs, the council is looking for people from all walks of life to care for Croydon’s vulnerable children and young people,” they say.

“There is no single type of person who would make a ‘perfect’ foster carer, so enquiries are welcomed from anyone who has the capacity to look after children.”

Under the fostering system, foster carers receive fees to provide help and support for the children or young people in their care.

Charlene Dry started fostering for the borough five years ago. With the help, love and support of her birth children, she has provided a home and family for four babies, and is fostering a 10-year-old.

“The support I get from Croydon Council is amazing,” Dry said.

“I have a supervising social worker who has been with me from the opening evening to right up until now. Anyone at Croydon Council that I call to ask a question, they’re always there to answer, so you always feel like you’re supported.”

Drop-in sessions

The Council fostering team will be hosting drop-in sessions for anyone wanting to find out more. Residents are welcome to turn up at any of the below venues without booking, or visit: https://www.croydon.gov.uk/foster-croydon to make an application.

Tomorrow, March 5, 4.30pm to 7pm
Venue: St George’s Hall, Elstan Way, Shirley, Croydon CR0 7PR

Thursday, March 6, 10am to 2pm
Venue: The Arc Café, 9 Weston Drive, Caterham, CR3 5XY

Friday, March 7, 11am to 4pm
Venue: Thornton Heath Leisure Centre, 100 High Street, CR7 8LF

The council also offers some free, “virtual” information sessions online, but these are limited in numbers and are currently listed as “sold out”.

Anarchy in Coulsdon: Theatre Workshop is now taking the Fo

Posted on March 4, 2025 by insidecroydon

Coulsdon might not be the first place you’d think of for an outbreak of 1970s agitprop, but thanks to the always excellent Theatre Workshop Coulsdon, that’s exactly what’s coming to town next month.

The Dario Fo farce Accidental Death of an Anarchist is TWC’s next stage production, coming to the Coulsdon Community Centre from April 5 to 12.

Written in 1970, the play satirises the antics of the Milan police in the aftermath of a terrorist bombing.

They “fitted up” an innocent man with the “right” political leanings, who then “accidentally” fell from the fourth-floor window of the police station. As you do.

The debut run of the show was interrupted by an irate Milanese police force who arrested the cast and director on trumped up charges (oh, how that term has grown), only to have to release them later (without anyone nose-diving the pavement).

Parking wardens stop issuing tickets in four London boroughs

Posted on March 4, 2025 by insidecroydon

More than 200 parking wardens and environmental officers across Wandsworth, Richmond, Lambeth and Kingston have stopped issuing tickets as a form of industrial action.

Parking dispute: traffic wardens employed by APCOA are in dispute in Lambeth and three other boroughs

This is the continuation of a dispute which has seen members of the GMB union take 14 days of strike action since November.

The action “will continue indefinitely or until APCOA agree to settle the dispute”, the GMB said, referring to APCOA Parking, Europe’s longest-established full service parking management company, which holds the contracts for parking wardens in the four boroughs. Continue reading →

Norovirus emergency admissions nearly double in a week

Posted on March 4, 2025 by insidecroydon

The latest figures on the number of people in London hospitals with norovirus show cases have increased by nearly 90% in the last two weeks.

Norovirus emergency: cases of the virus have doubled in two weeks in hospitals across London

Around 100 more beds are taken up by people with the illness, which causes sickness and diarrhoea, compared with the same time period last year.

The increase comes as the UK Health Security Agency warns of a new wave of the illness, with people who have had the virus potentially at risk again.

Perry’s council endorses scheme for 3,000 flats in town centre

Posted on March 3, 2025 by insidecroydon

Detail-lite: gone are the flashy CGIs of what they promise to build… with their Masterplan Framework, all Westfield are saying is that they want to build flats somewhere down there

CROYDON IN CRISIS: Getting rid of two-thirds of the retail space in the town centre and replacing it with flats is about all that execs from Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield were prepared to share to a council committee, reports our housing correspondent, BARRATT HOLMES

Better late than never, perhaps.

But there was a distinctly subdued, an almost “we’ve all been here before” reaction, to the lengthy presentation delivered at last week’s planning committee by executives and architects representing Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield over the long-delayed redevelopment of Croydon town centre.

Some 11 years since the first Croydon Partnership scheme was crashed through the council process with some haste and enthusiasm, this wasn’t a new planning application (the third, by our reckoning). Nor was this the new Masterplan for the town centre that was supposed to have been delivered in 2023.

This was something called a Masterplan Framework. It was lacking in detail because, well, Westfield said, they need to be flexible.

But wheras that first planning application sought in 2014 was granted permission for around 600 homes, this latest version is looking to develop 3,000 flats, mostly in tower blocks overlooking Wellesley Road or on the site where the Whitgift Centre stands today.

At a committee meeting last week, councillors criticised the outline plans for potentially turning Croydon into a “dormitory town”, and for a lack of detail, the absence of any worthwhile new jobs and no promises of public infrastructure.

Croydon landmark has listed status rejected for a second time

Posted on March 3, 2025 by insidecroydon

Croydon landmark: the Thruppeny Bit building shortly after it was completed in 1970

The 20th Century Society, the organisation that seeks to protect and promote the best architecture built between 1901 and 2000, has described as “disappointing” the decision that its application for a listing for No1 Croydon has been rejected. Again.

It was the C20 Society’s second application to get listed status for the building, also referred to as the Thrupenny Bit building, a landmark which was designed by Richard Seifert and Partners and built between 1968 and 1970, and positioned alongside East Croydon Station, and now the tram tracks and the busy bus station.

The rejection leaves the building at real risk of being at least compromised, if not ultimately destroyed. The lack of any meaningful listed status meant that the carbuncle of a Sainsbury’s Local was allowed to be plonked next to the building in recent times.

The C20 Society says that they believe No1 Croydon to be the most significant example of Seifert’s surviving works to remain unlisted.

They submitted the latest application for listing last August, soon after Inside Croydon broke the news that the building’s owners want to convert it from office use and turn it into 250 microflats across the building’s uniquely shaped 24 floors. Continue reading →

Here’s the news in 1925: policing, airport expansion and sport

Posted on March 2, 2025 by insidecroydon

High flyers: airport expansion was a worry for many in 1925, when this photograph was taken, as well as 2025, with Croydon becoming Britain’s first international airport

SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT: For all the modernisation of our lives in the 21st Century, a flick through the pages of a local newspaper from 100 years ago shows that there were key similarities, as DAVID MORGAN explains

In 1925, The Croydon Times newspaper was published twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It provided readers with news of what was going in the borough. You could look for jobs, seek out a place to live, catch up with the sport or find out the latest “hatches, matches and dispatches” – births, marriages and deaths.

History helps us to see events through a wider lens, so it is really interesting to see some of the stories which made the newspaper in their final edition of February, 100 years ago, and which still resonate with us today.

One of the concerns of local residents in 1925 was the planned expansion of Croydon Aerodrome. Residents who lived close to the runway were alarmed that the values of their homes would go down significantly. Householders who had retired to live in Purley were upset that their plans were going to be ruined. Continue reading →

Mayor Perry and Negrini together again at Growth Plan launch

Posted on March 1, 2025 by insidecroydon

WALTER CRONXITE, Political Editor, on another missed opportunity for the benighted borough

All in line: students at Imperial College show London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan how to play Tetris… Jason Perry didn’t quite make it into the picture

A strange thing happened on Thursday morning in a lecture theatre at Imperial College in central London.

There, in the audience for the launch of London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan’s London Growth Plan, together with leaders of most of the capital’s boroughs and a junior government minister, was one of the people who bankrupted Croydon, and the person who has hiked Council Tax in the borough to record levels and somehow managed to make the council’s finances even worse.

Jason Perry has failed to mention if he sidled up to Jo Negrini to ask her to repay her £430,000 golden handshake, so the occasion will be put down as another missed opportunity for the Mayor of Croydon to deliver on one of his many broken promises.

Having survived the turmoil of the previous night’s council Budget meeting at the Town Hall, Perry was an enthusiastic cheerleader for the London Mayor’s latest launch, although he can afford to be, since London Councils, the city’s umbrella organisation for the 32 boroughs, pays him £10,000 for the benefit of his singular genius.

Tram and bus fares unchanged as Tube prices go up by 4.6%

Posted on March 1, 2025 by insidecroydon

After a year-long freeze on public transport fares in the capital, Transport for London is increasing fares from tomorrow, March 2, in line with national rail fare increases, for both pay-as-you-go fares or Travelcards.

Hold tight please: bus fares and tram fares remain unchanged, as Tube and train prices go up by 4.6% tomorrow

But bus and tram fares will remain unchanged at £1.75, the cheapest in the country. This will be the sixth year that bus and tram fares have remained unchanged.

Prices on the Tube, the London Overground (such as the Windrush line from West Croydon), the Elizabeth line and Docklands Light Railway, together with National Rail fares will rise by an average of an above-inflation 4.6%.

It means that a single Tube journey within Zone 1 will increase from £2.80 to £2.90 at peak times, and from £2.70 to £2.80 off peak.

Peak fares apply on weekdays between 6.30am and 9.30am and from 4pm to 7pm. Continue reading →

Palace are adding a touch of poetry to their beautiful game

Posted on March 1, 2025 by insidecroydon

Wharton’s back: the Palace midfielder’s return from injury has coincided with some of the Eagles’ best performances of the season

It is sometimes said that football, when it’s played properly, at its fluid best, is like a form of physical poetry.

Well now, the National Literacy Trust and Arts Council England have launched A Poem for Your Club to try to help inspire the community to explore creative writing through their football club and boost literacy levels.

Crystal Palace – in FA Cup action against Millwall at lunchtime today – are one of five clubs across England to have a professional resident poet who will work with children, young and Eagles fans to create a collaborative poem for the club. Continue reading →

Planning committee signs a blank cheque for Polaska scheme

Posted on February 28, 2025 by insidecroydon

Croydon is taking on significant risks by granting planning permission for 220 ‘later-living’ homes in Purley, a councillor warned a Town Hall meeting last night. By our housing correspondent, BARRATT HOLMES

Big guns: Croydon Tories called up the London Assembly Member, Neil Garratt, to support the dodgy scheme

The majority of members of Croydon Council’s planning committee last night voted to ignore the London Plan and the borough’s own Local Plan and granted permission for Polaska Assets Ltd’s £60million scheme to build a vast retirement complex in four blocks of flats in Purley town centre.

And in so doing, they also signed a blank cheque from the cash-strapped council to use public money to subsidise the private developer’s scheme in the incidental delivery of a leisure centre and swimming pool.

No one could be certain how much the subsidy might be, as the professional planners’ calculations were based on hopeful guesses and hefty assumptions – including generously ascribing zero value to the disused supermarket property which makes up a significant part of the site.

As one member of the planning committee, Sean Fitzsimons, warned, there could be further multi-million-pound liabilities for the local authority down the track, with the council being expected to pick up the running costs of the “Integrated Retirement Community”, should the company that operates it, for whatever reason, go out of business.

People’s protests force Perry into U-turn over Carers’ Centre

Posted on February 28, 2025 by insidecroydon

CROYDON IN CRISIS: Mayor forced to change cost-cutting plans after just a fortnight, following his confrontation on Katharine Street, a choral protest at the Town Hall and more than 2,000 signatures on a petition.
EXCLUSIVE by STEVEN DOWNES

Under new management: the council says that the Carers’ Centre on George Street will remain open, to be used by their new service provider

The Croydon Carers’ Centre on George Street is to remain open after all.

Mayor Jason Perry “has been spooked into a U-turn”, according to Katharine Street sources, with the council’s new service provider, Carers First, now expected to move in to the premises in the town centre that have been providing reassurance, advice and, above all, care, for the past 12 years.

Fire Brigade’s top dog Sherlock retires after long service

Posted on February 28, 2025 by insidecroydon

The London Fire Brigade’s longest-serving fire investigation dog, Sherlock, has officially retired after a what the LFB called today “a distinguished 12-year career”.

Ready for retirement: fire investigation dog Sherlock and his handler Paul Osborne

Working cocker spaniel Sherlock, born in 2012, joined the Brigade at just 10 weeks old, and immediately showed a natural aptitude for his future role. In 2013, Sherlock became a fully certified fire investigation dog, working alongside his handler, Group Commander Paul Osborne.

Sherlock is the Brigade’s longest-serving dog and has had an esteemed career. From attending hundreds of incidents and meeting royalty to earning an Animal Hero Award and even having his own book published, Sherlock’s achievements are nothing short of extraordinary. In recent years, he transitioned into the role of Brigade ambassador, actively promoting fire safety and prevention at community events.

They voted to raise your Council Tax, then to increase their pay

Posted on February 27, 2025 by insidecroydon

TOWN HALL SKETCH: Things don’t sound too good in the Chamber these days, and it is not just because the council has hired a cheaper contractor for its audio system. As tempers frayed at the most important meeting of the year, WALTER CRONXITE, Political Editor, turned the volume up to try to hear how Mayor Perry thinks he can get away with his cash-strapped council borrowing yet another £1bn

There was a rainbow over Croydon just around dusk last night, to the south of the Town Hall. Alas, there was no pot of gold to be found on the Town Hall steps, which might have made the next three hours a little less fraught.

Genteel: the Carers’ Centre Choir protesting outside the Town Hall last night

Instead, there was the Carers’ Centre Choir, singing sweetly (though disappointingly, not the obvious We Shall Overcome) about the latest service to be axed, the latest victim of council cuts.

As Town Hall demos go, it was a good deal less well-attended, or loud, than in 2023, when Mayor Jason Perry was putting up Council Tax by 15%. A 5% increase this time must be less objectionable to the people of Croydon, because so few turned up to object. As David Bowie almost said, it was so very Croydon.

But that was as genteel as the evening got, as inside the Chamber, our elected representatives had turned up for the most important council meeting of the year, the annual Budget and Council Tax-setting meeting. Continue reading →

Everything’s going up except Starmer and Labour’s poll ratings

Energy prices up, transport fares up, water bills up, Council Tax up… ANDREW FISHER says that the government’s failure to tackle the cost-of-living crisis could have lasting political impact

In December last year, Keir Starmer set out his “Plan for Change”, one of the now regular relaunches of his flagging premiership. The Prime Minister set out six “milestones”, the first of which was “raising living standards in every part of the UK”.

The prospects of achieving that do not look good in 2025. Continue reading →

They stabbed Siafa 13 times and then strolled off to the pub

Posted on February 27, 2025 by insidecroydon

Murder scene: Surrey Street market on the evening of April 12 last year, after Rijkaard Siafa had been attacked and killed in Fellmonger’s Yard

Late on a sunny April afternoon last year, David Walcott and Rammon Mali, together with a third man, strolled down Surrey Street, still busy at the end of the market day, then crossed Croydon High Street and popped into the Spread Eagle pub, where they went to the bar and ordered three pints of Guinness. They paid with a £20 note.

As they started their stouts, they phoned for a taxi, but they walked out of the pub on to Katharine Street, leaving their drinks unfinished, when bar staff asked them to remove their hats, as it was against house rules.

It was the only time Walcott and Mali obeyed any rules that afternoon, as just a few minutes earlier they had left Rijkaard Siafa bleeding to death after attacking him viciously with a machete and knives on Fellmongers Yard, just off Croydon’s ancient street market.

Siafa was just 22 when he was killed.

The details of the murderers’ callous disregard for their victim in the minutes after their attack on Siafa emerged during their five-week trial at the Old Bailey, which ended yesterday with Walcott and Mali found guilty by a unanimous jury verdict. Continue reading →

Croydon’s finances are not sustainable warns council chief

Posted on February 26, 2025 by insidecroydon

CROYDON IN CRISIS: Ahead of tonight’s Council Tax-setting meeting, an exec director says the authority cannot continue by borrowing more, with overspends likely to rise to more than £200m by 2028. By our Town Hall reporter, KEN LEE

Jason “Fix the Finances” Perry will tonight present his third council Budget since becoming Mayor of Croydon, with the council’s debts still rising, with overspends at record levels and with the local government minister and the council’s finance director agreeing that his plans for coming years are completely unsustainable.

Tonight’s Town Hall Budget meeting will be staged with Perry, his chief exec Katherine Kerswell, and cabinet member for finance, Jason Cummings, all safe in the knowledge that the government has agreed to their request for an extraordinary £136million in “capitalisation directions”, the second-highest granted in the country.

Yet even with the 5% Council Tax hike Perry wants to impose on residents from April – bringing the total increase in CTax levels under the Mayor since 2023 to 27% – and the latest government bail-out, even some of the Town Hall’s most senior officials are now admitting publicly that there is no way out of the black hole that the council’s finances have fallen into.

Given Croydon Council’s position shows no real improvement since it issued its first Section 114 notice in November 2020, which prompted the government to parachute in its “improvement and assurance board”, there are growing doubts on Katharine Street that £1,000-per-day Tony McArdle and his motley crew of improvement panel “experts” will be able to complete their “exit strategy” by this summer as was planned.
