    Viewpoint Building blockbusters © Rory Walsh Time: 15 mins Region: Greater London Landscape: urban Location: Wellesley Road / George Street traffic island, Croydon CR0 1YD Grid reference: TQ 32559 65637 Keep an eye out for: The tallest building, the Saffron Tower, is coloured to look like a crocus plant - Croydon’s name comes from Old English for ‘crocus valley’ To many people, Croydon has a rather negative image. At first sight, this view along Wellesley Road could summarise common opinions that the area is a concrete wasteland. Rows of tower blocks loom above, while busy roads surround us on all sides. Traffic passes from the left, right, ahead, behind and even below us through an echoing underpass. Yet this scene is one of London’s most popular filming locations. Stars like Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks and Kevin Costner have trod Croydon’s ‘mean streets’. Even Batman has swooped by. How did unfashionable Croydon become a Hollywood hotspot? Lower Manhattan from Jersey City © King of Hearts, Wikimedia Commons, CC-BY-SA-3.0 Take in the scene – does it remind you of anywhere else? In a certain light - and with some studio trickery – the tall buildings and wide roads could be mistaken for New York or Chicago. Besides fitting looks, Croydon has attractive costs. Filming in big cities can be expensive, disruptive and time-consuming. A film permit alone in Manhattan is $300 per day. Add crew wages and other costs over weeks of shooting and a film’s budget balloons. Croydon’s competitive fees combine with its ‘mini-Manhattan’ feel to create an ideal stand-in.

I am very grateful for the support that the FE Commissioner has received from yourself and the College during the Appraisal, and the steps you have taken to date to respond to the recommendations in my predecessor's letter of 22 April 2014. As you are aware, in light of the notification by the Skills Funding Agency that the College's financial health is inadequate, the FE Commissioner reviewed the position of your College between 17 and 28 March 2014. The FE Commissioner acknowledged the capacity and capability of the governance and leadership to deliver financial recovery in the short term, but concluded that the College could not continue to operate on its own. The FE Commissioner was asked to lead a Structure and Prospects Appraisal to determine the way forward for land-based provision in the area. This Appraisal was completed in September 2014. I have now received the FE Commissioner's Appraisal report - a copy of which is attached.
