100 days ago, I promised to do things differently.
From cutting everyday costs to handing power back to communities, change is already underway.
But I know there’s much more to do - this is just the beginning.

In his first 100 days as Prime Minister, Andy Burnham has been tackling the long term problems that have been ignored for far too long and giving people vital breathing space on the cost of living.

Law Society president, Brett Dixon, tells @thetimes "Years of underinvestment" in the court system must be addressed.
"More worryingly, new people are not coming in," with the duty solicitor service at risk of becoming "non-existent".

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

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 🎦⬇️🌹

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🌹
More on the matter at last Full Council by our Shadow Cab Member, Cllr Bowell ⬇️

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 🌃🏠🌹

🚨NEW: Today, Andy Burnham is hosting the first-ever Rough Sleeping Summit at Downing Street, bringing together businesses, charities, housing providers and local leaders to mobilise the resources, expertise and commitment needed to deliver lasting change.

We’re offering a route off the streets this Christmas.
And we will keep working together to tackle the root causes of homelessness - and end rough sleeping for good.
"This moral mission of ours isn't just for Christmas, we're in it for the long haul."
Housing secretary Angela Rayner announces the government's plans to end rough sleeping at a summit in Downing Street.

Andy Burnham is grasping the big issues that have been ignored for too long. That is the fundamental change this country needs to get people to hope again.

🚨 There's nothing low-level about antisocial behaviour.
From today, Respect Orders will give police and councils stronger powers to tackle it.
Courts can now ban adult offenders from related behaviour – like public drinking on a high street.
We're making communities safer.

We’ve reported this fallen tree in Wandle Park to @yourcroydon, but if you’re struggling to report other storm damage, let us know.

Good news for London:
⬇️ Theft from the person (including phone theft) has fallen by 24% over the past year.
⬇️ Robbery across London has also fallen by 4%, bucking the national trend, with robberies of personal property down by 12%. Across England and Wales, robbery rose by 10%.
This is encouraging progress, and shows why our record City Hall investment in the Met Police matters.

BREAKING: An extra £432m will be spent to end rough sleeping, the chancellor will confirm, with the announcement coming a few days before the budget.
Sky's @joncraig has the details.

Ignore the misinformation.
We need to fix a small number of specific flaws that the previous government knowingly left in its Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 to ensure that the enfranchisement measures in that piece of legislation can operate as intended.
We have made clear we intend to make those fixes through our forthcoming Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill.
Once we have done so and can implement the new valuation process, it will be cheaper and easier for leaseholders to extend their lease or buy their freehold.

Fifty percent of Croydon’s residential areas are more than 400m from a local park 🌳
Our Shadow Cabinet Member for Parks and Culture is calling on Mayor Perry to set out a clear plan to address this inequality in his upcoming Parks and Green Spaces Strategy.

We’ve listened to residents’ concerns about the impact on nearby homes, wildlife and bat habitats, and have asked the Council to take these into account.
