Croydon Council is calling on residents, partners and local organisations to come together for the 16 Days of Action Against Gender-Based Violence, a global campaign running from 25 November to 10 December.
The Council has set out its financial position and outline plans for future growth and savings.
Croydon Council has confiscated 70 Blue Badges in the first six months of its campaign to clamp down on Blue Badge misuse across the borough.
Mayor Perry looks back on the week including signing the Armed Forces Covenant, cracking down on misused Blue Badges and supporting local businesses and growth. He also shares exciting transformation plans for Minster Green.
Croydon will make the area greener and safer by closing the subway and restoring the area around the Minster, funded by the Growth Zone programme.
Croydon Council has reaffirmed its support for serving personnel, veterans and their families by signing the Armed Forces Covenant on Armistice Day.
Mayor Perry reflects on the week including speaking at the 'Develop Croydon: Game On' conference, holding an on-the-road casework surgery and supporting Croydon Drop-In's Annual General Meeting. He looks ahead to the weekend when Croydon will come together to mark Remembrance Day and the nine year anniversary of the tragic Sandilands tram derailment.
A civic ceremony will be held at 1pm on Sunday 9 November at the memorial in Market Square, Central Parade, New Addington, to remember those who lost their lives in the Sandilands tram derailment nine years ago.
Croydon will come together on Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day to honour those who served in the two World Wars and other conflicts.
Mayor Perry looks back at the week, celebrating the opening Coco & Nut Café in Allders Parade and welcoming the return of Norbury Cricket Pitch, now fully restored after recent vandalism. He sends thoughts and prayers to all those affected by Storm Melissa in Jamaica and reflects on a brilliant Black History Month.
