Croydon deserves more affordable homes, investment and a thriving town centre - not more obstacles!
At last Full Council, we challenged Mayor Perry’s proposal to increase building costs which carry a number of risks that could impede the future of our town centre 🌃🏠🌹

The Croydon Area Remodelling Scheme (CARS) is essential to enable better journeys & unlock greater economic growth in Croydon.
The last Tory Govt shelved it 🤯
This Labour Govt has committed to it🌹

In his draft budget, Mayor Perry is considering a reduction of up to £12m to the Council Tax Support Scheme.
This could potentially impact 19,000 households.
Cllr King, Leader of the Opposition, explains further how it could impact the most vulnerable households in Croydon 🎦⬇️🌹

Please take part in the Council’s survey on proposed changes to the Council Tax Support Scheme and share it widely to maximise residents voices on such an important issue

The recent incident on Green Lane underscores the urgent need for improved road safety.
At Full Council, I called on the Mayor of Croydon to introduce effective traffic-calming measures and provide a proper pedestrian crossing.
We will continue pressing the Council for meaningful action and clear next steps. Our residents deserve safer roads and safer journeys.
Thank you to everyone supporting our campaign for safer streets. Together, we must keep pushing for change.

Every child should feel safe and have the chance to thrive.
Thanks to @SadiqKhan, hospital admissions of young people following knife assaults have more than halved.
Inspiring to hear young boxers in Norbury speak with pride about how their club has changed their lives.
One million Londoners reached. Thousands fewer victims of violence.
Our @LDN_VRU is helping turn the tide, with hospital admissions for young people injured in knife assaults down 55% since 2019.
This shows what prevention can achieve, but there’s more to do.
ALT Infographic from the Mayor of London showing that the Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) has reached one million Londoners and is helping make London safer. A bar chart compares reductions in hospital admissions of young people for knife assault: London shows a 56% decrease, compared with a 48% decrease in the rest of England. Source: NHS hospital admissions data, comparing the 12 months to July 2026 with 2018/19. The message highlights that knife-assault admissions among young people have fallen faster in London than in the rest of the country.

Last night, I delivered my maiden speech at Croydon Town Hall, marking the start of my term as Bensham Manor councillor. ❤️
From my dad growing up in Croydon in the 1950s, to BRIT School and my work at Legacy Youth Zone and Croydon Hospital A&E, this borough has shaped who I am.

Fatal knife attacks are at their lowest level in 35 years.
Pickpocketing and phone snatching are down 20% in the last year alone.
Numbers mark a step forward- but still lots more to do.
How can residents expect the Mayor to fix the issues in their neighbourhoods, if he can’t sort the problems on his own doorstep?
All less than 60 seconds from his office.

At Full Council tonight in Croydon + we're discussing the Mayor's Business Plan.
The plan lacks KPIs & the Tory Mayor + Deputy Mayor telling us they are not needed as residents are telling them that things are improving.
Outcomes measured by Anecdote is not a credible plan. – at Croydon, London
The Conservative Executive Mayor’s proposals to change how and what developers are charged (Community Infrastructyre Levy - CIL) when investing in our borough, carry risks for the future of our town centre.
