Local Government Boundary Commission for England Report No Local Government Boundary Commission For England Report No. 211 LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND REPORT NO. 211. To the Rt Hon Merlyn Rees, HP Secretary of State for the Home Department PROPOSALS FOR THE FUTURE ELECTORAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE LONDON BOROUGH OF CROYDON 1. We, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, having carried out a review of the electoral arrangements for the London Borough of Croydon in accordance with the requirements of section 50(3) of the Local Government Act 1972, present bur proposals for the future electoral arrangements for that London borough. 2. In accordance with the procedure laid down in section 60(1) and (2) of the 1972 Act, notice was given on 10 June 1975 that we were to undertake this review. This was incorporated in a consultation letter addressed to the Croydon Borough Council, copies of which were circulated to the London Boroughs Association, the Association of Metropolitan Authorities, the Members of Parliament for the constituencies concerned, the headquarters of the main political parties and the Greater London Regional Council of the Labour Party. Copies were also sent to the editors of local newspapers circulating in the area and of the local government press. Notices inserted in the local press announced the start of the review and invited comments from members of the public and from any interested bodies. 3* Croydon Borough Council were .invited to prepare a draft scheme of representation for our consideration. In doing so, they were asked to observe the rules laid down in Schedule 11 to the Local Government Act 1972 and the guidelines which we set out in our letter of 10 June 1975 about the proposed size of the council and the proposed number of councillors for each ward. They were asked also to take into account any views expressed to them following their consultation with local interests. We therefore asked that they should publish details of their provisional proposals about six weeks before they submitted their draft scheme to us, thus allowing an opportunity for local comment« 4. On 2^ February 1976 Croydon Borough Council presented their draft scheme of representation. The Council proposed to divide the area of the borough into 27 wards each returning 2 or 3 councillors to form a council of 70 members. 5. The Borough Council's submission included copies of correspondence received by them during their local consultations. We considered the suggestions made, together with the comments which had been sent direct to us. These included an alternative scheme for the borough submitted by a local political party; proposals from a local political association and two residents' associations which affected the suggested Coulsdon East, Woodcote and Coulsdon West* Purley and Sanderstead wards; and comments from two local residents, also about the Sanderstead ward. 6. We noted that both the Council's draft scheme and the alternative scheme submitted by the local political party appeared to present an even standard of representation. We concluded, however, that the alternative scheme did not offer any clear advantages over the Council's draft scheme, which we considered would provide a satisfactory basis for representation in compliance with the rules of Schedule 11 to the Local Government Act 1972 and our guidelines. We decided to adopt the Council's draft scheme as the baflisfor our draft proposals* 7. We studied the comments and criticisms which had been made and decided to adjust the boundary between the proposed Woodcote and Coulsdon West ward and the proposed Coulsdon East ward to follow the London to Brighton railway line, instead of the A23 trunk road, between Stoats Nest Road and Marlpit Lane. We decided also to realign the boundary between the proposed Beulah and Norbury wards to follow Green Lane throughout. In order to achieve a better standard of representation for the proposed South Norwood ward, we decided'to realign the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND CHAIRMAN Sir Edmund Compton GCB KBE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN Mr J M Rankin QC MEMBERS Lady Bowden Mr J T Brockbank Professor Michael Chisholm Mr R R Thornton CB DL Sir Andrew Wheatley CBE •r boundary between that ward and the proposed Thornton Heath ward. Finally, after consulting the Ordnance Survey, we made some minor alterations to ward boundaries in order to secure boundary lines which were more readily identifiable on the ground. We then formulated our draft proposals accordingly. 8. On 16 June 1976 we issued our draft proposals and these were sent to all who had received our consultation letter or had commented on the Council's draft scheme. The Council were asked to make these draft proposals, and the accompanying map which defined the proposed ward boundaries, available for inspection at their main offices. Representations on our draft proposals were invited from those to whom they were circulated and, by public notices, from other members of the public and interested bodies. We asked for comments to reach us by 3 September 1976. 9. Croydon Borough Council informed us that they accepted our draft proposals subject to the proposed Beulah, Norbury, South Norwood, Thornton Heath, Coulsdon Bast, Woodcote and Couledon West and Kenley wards. 10. The local political party which had written to us previously, resubmitted their alternative scheme, with some modifications, and also suggested a number of amendments to wards in our draft proposals, three local associations objected to our proposals for the Coulsdon East, Woodcote and Coulsdon West, Purley, Thornton Heath and South Norwood wards. 11. In view of these comments, we decided that we needed further information to enable us to reach a conclusion. Therefore, in accordance with section 65(2) of the 1972 Act and at our request, Mr T Foord was appointed as an Assistant Commissioner to hold a local meeting and to report to us. 12. The Assistant Commissioner held a local meeting at Croydon on 12 January 1977. A copy of his report to us is attached at Schedule 1 to this report. 13- In the light of the discussion at the meeting and of his inspection of the areas concerned, the Assistant Commissioner recommended that our draft proposals should be confirmed, subject to four modifications. Three of the modifications, relating to the proposed boundaries between the Beulah and Norbury wards,--South Norwood and Thornton Heath wards and Coulsdon East andKsnley wards, reverted to orranga&axts originally proposed by the Borough Council. The fourth modification was a realignment of the boundary between the proposed Coulsdon East and Voodcote and Coulsdon West wards* 11*, We reviewed our draft proposals in the light of the comments which we had received and of the report of the Assistant Commissioner. We also considered a letter - from the Borough Council saying that a number of Council members considered that the ward name "Beulah" might be misleading and that the name "Spa" was an acceptable alternative. We decided, hovaror/that' at this stage in the review, when there was no further opportunity for discussion of the issue, we should not make the suggested alteration to a name which had not attracted comment to us at any previous stage. We concluded that the amendments to our draft proposals recommended by the Assistant Commissioner following the meeting should be accepted. Subject to these modifications, we decided that our draft proposals should be confirmed as our final proposals. 15* Details of these final proposals are set out in Schedules 2 and 3 to this report* Schedule 2 gives the names of the wards and the number of councillors to be returned by each. Schedule 3 is a description of the areas of the new words. The boundaries of the new wards are defined on the attached map* PUBLICATION 1$. In accordance with section 60(5)(b) of the Local Government Act 1972, a copy of this report and a copy of the map are being sent to Croydon Borough Council and will be available for public inspection at the Council's main offices. Copies of this report (without map) are being sent to those who received the consultation letter and to those who made comments* US.

We had to leave our beloved Streatham, as we could not afford a property there with the budget available and South Norwood was close enough for them to stay at the same school and near other family members. Unlike Norbury or Thornton Heath that we also considered, South Norwood completely charmed us, as it beamed with tonnes of development potential and was on the brink of going through a well-deserved re-generation due to its many beautiful residential roads and parks on its doorstep (Grangewood Park with tennis courts and other sports amenities, South Norwood Lake with boating and lovely playground, Country Park with with its turtles, pitch and put and tonnes of cycling/running/playing opportunity, Tennison Rd Sports Ground with football and more, Crystal Palace with its dinosaurs just a 15mins’ bike ride) and fantastic public transport connections from Norwood Junction station (approx 0.4 miles) and Selhurst (approx 0.6 miles) to the rest of London (direct trains - 15mins to London Bridge, 20mins to Farringdon, 20mins to Clapham Junction, 30mins to Victoria, 20min to Gatwick Airport, 1hr to Luton Airport and frequent 5min trains to East Croydon).
