Croydon desperately needs a PLAN to fix the finances. Not more bluster and scaremongering.

The community spirit in #Waddon keeps growing—just like the bountiful community garden! 🌱 Great to see visits from local schools, generous donations from park users, and the care and commitment of the volunteers. Got an hour to spare? Come join the fun in #WandlePark! 🌼 @rowennadavis.bsky.social

Really glad to see these garages in New Addington fixed after ages of dilapidation and fly-tipping. Now, the site is safe and secure. Thanks to Corina and other residents for fighting this with me, Cllr Kola Agboola and @ndironsmp.bsky.social, and to the Council for finally seeing to it!

Residents in Croydon have waited months to learn what the Mayor is actually proposing to do in his review of the youth engagement team. Scrutiny is on Tuesday & the paperwork still hasn't been shared with the councillors on that committee. What's he trying to hide? #CroydonLabour #YouthServices

Under Mayor Jason Perry, Croydon residents have seen their council tax go up 📈, borrowing increase 📈 but services go down 📉 A statement from Croydon Labour councillors ⬇️

Mayor Jason Perry has requested £136 million from central government as he cannot set a balanced council budget. Council tax is expected to go up again - it has already increased by 25% under this Conservative administration. Meanwhile four libraries have closed and youth engagement services are facing cuts.
