The Government recently announced a significant investment of £1.5 million in Croydon. This is aimed at improving the places and spaces that matter most to us, helping ensure that our public spaces, community facilities, and town centres reflect the pride we all feel for where we live.

It’s part of the Government’s Pride in Place program which is all about empowering local communities to improve their neighbourhoods. So, the £1.5 million coming to Croydon needs to be locally led – shaped by our community’s ideas and priorities.Funding needs to be focused on high streets and town centres, community spaces and public spaces.
