Businesses have voted overwhelmingly to renew Croydon BID for another five years, with 92.8% backing the BID. ✅
We're pleased to continue working alongside Croydon BID and local businesses to support a thriving, successful town centre for all.

We know how much residents care about the Whitgift Centre and its future.
@URW_UK are now offering residents the chance to explore the latest plans, see how community feedback has shaped them and have your say on what comes next.

Last night at Cabinet we approved a consultation on renewing the Thornton Heath Public Spaces Protection Order for a further three years.
Our existing PSPOs in Thornton Heath and the town centre give our enforcement teams extra powers to tackle anti-social behaviour, and I want to build on that progress.
We also approved consultation on introducing PSPOs in Crystal Palace, Norbury, Addiscombe, Purley, Coulsdon, Selsdon, New Addington and South Norwood, as well as across our parks and open spaces.
Alongside visible Parkguard patrols, these proposed new powers would help us tackle anti-social behaviour wherever it occurs - whether on our streets or in our parks - making our public spaces safer and more welcoming for everyone.
It is all part of my zero-tolerance approach to anti-social behaviour, helping residents and communities reclaim their public spaces and restore pride in Croydon.

Fly-tipping costs us around £1m a year to clear up And we’ve had enough.
To those fly-tipping: we are all watching you 👀

🚗♿ Our crackdown on Blue Badge fraud continued in August:
✅ 11 badges seized
✅ 8 court convictions
✅ 11 cases awaiting trial
We have zero-tolerance for this crime. Most of the badges seized were either stolen or fake.

Local businesses need more support and action on tackling shoplifting in London, that’s why we’re piloting the tagging of prolific offenders as part of our zero tolerance approach in Croydon under @JasonForCroydon
One in five shoplifting offences are in London.
In Croydon, Conservative mayor @JasonForCroydon is piloting a scheme to tag prolific shoplifters to stamp it out.
But where is Sadiq Khan? He's had ten years.
Does any Londoner feel safer now than they did 10 years ago?!

Pleasure to attend last night’s installation of Fr Michael Nayagam as vicar of the South Croydon Benefice of St Peter’s & St Augustine’s, with Mayor @JasonForCroydon
Beautiful service, overseen by Bishop Rosemary. Fr Michael will continue the good work these churches do

On Wednesday, I challenged Sadiq Khan’s proposal to impose 5,600 homes on Croydon’s Green Belt.
Croydon can meet its housing target without sacrificing green space. We should focus on brownfield land, stalled sites and regenerating our town and district centres first.
Once the Green Belt is gone, it is gone for good.
Jason Perry - Mayor of Croydon retweeted
@JasonForCroydon looks back on the week with the start of the new school year, standing up for Croydon's Green Belt and an update on CALAT. He also welcomed members of Croydon’s Hindu community to the Town Hall for a special Raksha Bandhan ceremony.

The Prime Minister is right: prices have risen since 2011.
Yet his Government still reimburses councils at 2011 rates when we house homeless families.
That leaves Croydon taxpayers with a £45m annual bill.
It’s unfair, outdated and unsustainable. It must change.
Jason Perry - Mayor of Croydon retweeted
Khan is needlessly forcing development onto the greenbelt, @AndrewBoff's question reveals - Tory Mayors like @JasonForCroydon have been able to instead deliver on brownfield sites 👇

Awful news that members of our Sanatan Mandir community in Coulsdon are missing following the flash floods.
I know people across Croydon are praying for their safety & good news.

£5 billion. That is the economic opportunity previous modelling says could be unlocked by resolving the Croydon rail bottleneck.
I’ve asked the Government to update the evidence and find an affordable, deliverable solution.
Growth needs infrastructure. Let’s get moving:
