Shame on HSBC UK. Glad I don't bank with them. At least I don't need to switch. But if you are with them, please do. theguardian.com/business/2025/…

Conservative Mayor Jason Perry has failed to fix the finances. He's failed so badly, the government has officially appointed independent commissioners to oversee Croydon Council.

‘UEFA: Morally bankrupt. Revoke the ruling now.’

Last week Rowenna and I attended the unveiling of the water fountain at the top of Surrey Street that has been restored and brought back into public use by the Heritage of London Trust. I tried it out filling my TSSA water bottle. 😋 ☀️

Bring on 2026.

Absolutely right Dawn 👏 Council licensing committees have their hands tied by the licensing principles set by government. That needs to change.

🚨 The Post Office is proposing to close its branch on Croydon High Street and move it to TGJones (WH Smith) on North End. The location is one thing but I’m concerned about the existing staff and the availability of services for residents. Have your say ✏️ postofficeviews.co.uk/national-consu…

This morning Julie, Jose and I joined volunteers clearing litter from Minster Gardens. We were given a warm welcome, filled several bags of waste, and were given a tour of the Minster and a cuppa after. They do this on the first Saturday of every month. Do join them next time!

It was great to help Croydon Minster this morning with tidying the area surrounding this beautiful place of worship and it was a privilege to learn more about the history of the Minster. They definitely need lots of help to keep it clean! #CleaningDay #ChurchCleaning

A very useful day talking with residents of the Tamworth Estate and Derby Road area. Lots of issues to follow up including housing repairs, antisocial behaviour and street cleansing.

Appalling scenes at Broad Green library, closed against public wishes by Conservative Mayor Jason Perry. The result? A building squatted for months and books discarded on the streets like unwanted rubbish. This is Perry’s vision for Croydon. It is time to put People First.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of joining residents and staff at Evolve Housing & Support’s Alexander House in Croydon for their annual barbecue. It was great to hear about the work they do with their residents and the relationships they have been building with neighbours.
