An update from Natasha Irons MP on the footbridge at East Croyon Station
The Bridge to Nowhere Project will resume I’m pleased to share a long-overdue update on the East Croydon Station footbridge. The bridge, which was built in 2012 but whose footbridge has never opened to the public, is now set to open in 2027.

Network Rail’s contractor is expected to begin work this summer, meaning the project can now move forward. Since being ... Read more
No barbecues in parks

New-fangled post box
The post box on Park Hill Riad near the corner of Selborne Road looks as though it has been reborn. it has solar panels, a QR code and a larger opening for small parcels. To use these facilities you need to scan the R code and enter details on the Royal Mail app. If you won't or can't do those you will still have to go to s Post Office. There is a slot like there always was so you can still post a letter with a stamp on it. But the next collection day seems stuck at Fri and the post box is not... Read more
