Introduction 1. The Culture Network meeting raised a number important issues and concerns that need to be addressed about the implementation of the award of Borough of Culture 2023 status. This is difficult as the two planning meetings that were announced would take place in March and April are not going ahead because of the coronavirus emergency. That does not mean that debate should stop. Many people involved in the Network will have more time to think about it as their events have been cancelled. Debate can take place by email, telephone, Skype, Zoom, etc. Several of the issues and concerns relate to overall aims of being Borough of Culture, as well as practical considerations. 2. There are several tensions and contradictions within the proposals that clearly could not be ironed out at the time the bid was submitted to the Mayor of London.

  • Croydon South Labour Party April 2017
    Introduction Croydon South Constituency Labour Party provides below suggested improvements to the draft recommendations on new local authority ward boundaries as they apply to the Croydon South parliamentary constituency. Proposed alterations are given letters A to L and the locations are also marked for the convenience of the Commission on the overview map of the newly proposed wards and on maps of the predecessor wards that are impacted by changes suggested below. Coulsdon Town/Purley & Woodcote All of that part of Stoats Nest Road (A) that is between the Brighton Road and the Railway Bridge better lies within the Coulsdon Town ward as addresses here are in the postal district of Coulsdon and have a CR5 post code. We feel that the residents here would believe that they live in Coulsdon and not in Kenley nor in Purley. This would mean that all of Stoats Nest Road would be in the same ward. This impacts upon 15 properties and 22 electors. Coulsdon Town/Old Coulsdon To strengthen the connection to the Coulsdon Woods and Hillers Heath Road consideration might be given to including both sides of Petersfield Crescent (B) in Coulsdon Town ward this having an impact on only three properties and six electors. Aldercroft (C) sits much better within Coulsdon Town ward as Aldercroft is a continuation of Deepfield Way with Rutherwick Rise a more clearly delineating boundary between Coulsdon Town and Old Coulsdon. This affects 29 properties and approximately 41 electors. It might well make good sense to include all of Ullswater Crescent (D) in one ward and thus to move the far end of this industrial estate into the Coulsdon Town ward.
