For example: • https://eastcroydon.org.uk/2017/05/07/council-ward-boundary-review-2017/ • https://www.facebook.com/AshburtonPark/posts/632398450284269 • https://media.wix.com/ugd/296f60 6592f71ade204a89a9065d757954094b.pdf Precedent Others have highlighted the long history of the Addiscombe Road as the definitive boundary of Addiscombe and the community to the south. This is not the first time the Conservatives have proposed that the natural boundary should be breached. A proposal to breach the limit of the Addiscombe community in order to incorporate part of Park Hill into Addiscombe formed part of their response to the 1999 submission. This was rejected on the grounds that Labour’s alternative better represented the communities of Croydon. The current Draft Recommendations references a letter requesting that Whitgift remains part of the Addiscombe. While the partisan nature of the initial round of submissions has already been highlighted, it is worth noting that Whitgift is not currently, not has ever been, part of Addiscombe. While it is claimed that Shirley Road forms the hard boundary for the area, this is not something the Commission has recognised in past reviews. First round arguments The Conservatives raised a number of objections against the council’s proposed revisions to the town’s boundaries. Unlike the initial proposals, the Labour Group’s suggestions will not split Park Hill, indeed they better represent its own identity in a ward with areas sharing common interests. Given that Gavin Barwell’s submission acknowledges that Park Hill is its own place, his concerns would appear to be better addressed by the Labour Group’s proposal. Within this proposal the Whitgift Estate is similarly kept within a single ward, which the Conservatives raised as a priority. The Conservatives’ own submission states that it is wrong to include the Pampisford Road area within Waddon and acknowledge that the number of electors around Warham Road is minimal. Yet, given that Waddon is oversized and South Croydon is undersized it is clearly wrong to include this whole area within Waddon. Given the steps to future proof Central ward it seems out of keeping to then ignore the scale of the future growth for the area contained within the Croydon Plan. No justification is provided by the Conservatives for splitting the West Thornton/Broad Green area into three wards, when two wards would maintain the existing arrangements residents identify with much better. It is claimed that residents from Long Lane to Bishops Walk think of themselves as Shirley, clearly the petition making its way around the Tollgate Estate proves otherwise. I would however agree with the Conservative councillor’s submission that Addiscombe naturally runs eastwards from East Croydon station, something which is clearly counter to proposals including Park Hill and Whitgift within the neighbourhoods’ boundaries. Concerns that the Labour Group’s initial submission ignore a number of residents’ associations are clearly countered by the current Group proposals which run directly in-line with the concerns of all relevant local associations. Other respondents highlighted the importance of wards having a district centre, something the Group’s submission achieves and the Draft Recommendations do not. I note the comment from the estate agent in the first round of submissions that no house in Park Hill is every marketed as being in Addiscombe, as no one ever views the two separate areas as having any alignment, outside of the Conservative Party it appears. It is notable that the Conservatives’ initial submission, which claims to be based on the character appraisal put together as part of a planning exercise for the Croydon Plan, actually undermines that same report by criticising the inclusion of the southern portion of Park Hill in South Croydon. The reason for this is that the character appraisal is not and never was supposed to be a description of local community identities. It is disappointing that the Conservative Party are unable to maintain a consistent line of argument even within their own submission, something Gavin Barwell exacerbated with his submission on parliamentary boundaries. In summary, while the overall approach of the Commission to boundaries in Croydon does can be seen to conform to the arguments set out in the Draft Recommendation, the Commission appears to have been deliberately mislead by local Conservatives around the community identity of Addiscombe, the configuration of boundaries in Broad Green/West Thornton and the longevity of boundaries in Waddon/South Croydon, presumably for narrow partisan self-interest. The Labour Group’s proposals can be seen to rectify this. Yours truly, Peter Lamb Starkie, Emily From: Sent: 04 May 2017 12:00 To: reviews Subject: New Boundaries Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Attn: Reviews@LGBCE Comments from resident from: Address: Comments: The Queens Mansions building (from no. 6 to number 40 Brighton Road) is situated at the very beginning of Brighton Road, South Croydon, opposite of what used to be the Swan and Sugar Loaf pub (now a Tesco store), and thus I always found it an oddity that it should come under the Waddon Ward. My address, since 1981, would indicate that the property is in South Croydon and I feel that it belongs to the South Croydon area. I do not have any affinity with Waddon, therefore I would prefer the new boundaries to include that part of Brighton Road in the South Croydon Ward. Regards, J Latinier 1 Starkie, Emily From: Derek Lea Sent: 27 April 2017 14:33 To: reviews Subject: Croydon Ward boundaries Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Dear Sirs, I understand that you are reviewing the Ward boundaries in Croydon. I have lived in the area for 51 years ‐ 6 years in Sanderstead and 45 years in our current house in Purley ‐ and would like to submit my comments to your consultation. I think the LGBCE proposed ward scheme for this ward and its neighbours is a good representation of the place I live in because it matches what most local people feel are the natural subdivisions and boundaries between the various parts of the Borough. My recommendation is that you go ahead with your proposed scheme. Regards Dr Derek Lea R m Virus-free. www.avast.com 1 Starkie, Emily From: Sent: 07 May 2017 14:48 To: reviews Subject: Draft proposals for boundaries in Croydon Proposed Boundary Changes We should like put some arguments against the proposed boundary changes for Waddon and South Croydon. First, a few words to say who we are and why we take a strong interest in these proposals. Who we are We have been residents in South Croydon since 1971, having lived in Haling Park Gardens, Barham Road and Whitgift Avenue (our present address). Our children attended Primary School in South Croydon (Purley Oak); we use the local shops and restaurants, belong to a neighbourhood watch group and South Croydon residents’ association. Our objections are two-fold, namely those of (a) size of the Wards and (b) the identity of our local area. Numbers Our understanding is that a key element of the need for new boundaries is that of size — the perceived importance of having roughly similar numbers in each ward. Yet it seems that the proposals do not actually meet this basic requirement. If this were to go ahead, Waddon would be significantly oversized (with the additions in the north of the Ward) and South Croydon would be undersized. The effect would also be exacerbated by the “Croydon Plan” for several thousands of (much needed) new homes in the area by 2036. Making Waddon larger than South Croydon would be inappropriate — the likelihood is that the issue would have to be revisited in the not-too distant future.

  • CHASE Residents' Association
    CHASE Residents’ Association Via: www.chaseresidents.org.uk CHASE Residents’ Association submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s consultation on proposed changes to ward boundaries within the London Borough of Croydon We wish to draw the Commission’s attention to difficulties that would be posed by putting into practice draft recommendations for changes to ward boundaries within the Addiscombe area of Croydon Central. We propose an alternative re-drawing of boundaries, a position we believe is in keeping with the views of a number of neighbouring residents’ associations and individuals. Established communities The notional boundaries of the “community” of Addiscombe are distinct from the present electoral ward of Addiscombe in that the community includes a sizeable part of the present Ashburton Ward. Addiscombe Road forms the southern boundary, in both electoral and community terms, for both wards. Residents of Fairfield Ward to the south do not identify with the community of Addiscombe. Within the current electoral wards of Addiscombe and Ashburton there is a more distinct community-based division between: • The western end, where residents living near East Croydon Station gravitate towards shops, schools, churches and facilities in the area between Cherry Orchard Road and Clyde Road. • The eastern side, where the Lower Addiscombe Road is the main district centre serving a community extending from east of Ashburton Park to Elgin Road to the west. Difficulties presented by the proposed boundaries Creating the proposed new wards of Addiscombe West & Park Hill and Addiscombe East by imposing an arbitrary border between Addiscombe/Ashburton and extending these wards south of Addiscombe Road would include areas with no natural affinity with Addiscombe.

  • Croydon London Borough
    Croydon London Borough Personal Details: Name: Richard Chatterjee E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: To the Local Government Boundary Commission As a resident since 1992 within the Addiscombe and Shirley Park Residents' Association (ASPRA) area, and who has represented the current Shirley Ward as a councillor since 2002, I hope that the following comments will be useful generally but especially in relation to Addiscombe and Shirley. The 16 'places' of Croydon were arrived at to meet the needs of the communities of Croydon and, just like the histories of Addiscombe referred to below, are objective and not generated for electoral ends; they deserve to be given greater weight than the council's proposals because of that objectivity and even- handedness. Identities If you ask people here where they live, they will give their geographical location, such as Addiscombe, Shirley, Purley, Woodside, South Norwood, Upper Norwood, Sanderstead, West Croydon, and Norbury. Some of those areas are large, such as Addiscombe (which naturally runs eastwards from the line out of E Croydon railway station and is centred on the Lower Addiscombe Road); beyond that, including the Longheath estate, people usually describe themselves as being in Shirley, and contact the Shirley councillors even though they are technically in the artificially construct of 'Ashburton Ward'. Geographic Shirley is greater than the current Shirley Ward, as it really comprises the stretch southwards from the Longheath estate, and to the Shirley Hills (which are also known as the Addington Hills, according to which map is being used). The reasons for these identities is the natural boundaries such as railway lines, the roads that glue the communities together (eg the Lower Addiscombe Road shopping centre has shops on one side and houses on the other that have permanent free parking outside; have bus routes that people from both sides of the road come together to use, and the Addiscombe Tram Stop; and socially cohesive pubs such as The Alma and The Claret).

In December 2019, the West End came to South Croydon with a wonderful performance of Hairspray staged in Big School. Backcombed beehives, styled kisscurls and glittering costume all made this three night sell-out performance a huge hit. With period glitz, nostalgic glamour and toe-tapping numbers, the cast, production team and band, transported the audience back to 1960s downtown Baltimore. The musical (a record-setter which won the 2003 Olivier and Tony Awards for Best Musical for Marc Shaiman) follows teenager Tracy Turnblad’s dream of hitting the big time dancing on The Corny Collins Show amidst a backdrop of racial segregation and elitism. When Tracy wins a role on the show, she becomes a celebrity overnight, leading to social change as Tracy campaigns for the show’s integration. A big thank you to all those who pulled this production together, particularly Mr Michael and Mrs Carter who directed the performance, and congratulations to the whole cast, including students from Old Palace of John Whitgift and WAVPA, Whitgift’s Saturday Performing Arts School. 2 WHITGIFT LIFE performing arts Hairspray The West End arrives in South Croydon! ‘With period glitz, nostalgic glamour and toe-tapping numbers Hairspray was a huge hit’ WHITGIFT LIFE 3 ‘Celebrating the power news of poetry to bring National Poetry Day people together’ To celebrate National Poetry Day He performed one of his poems on Thursday 3 October, poetic ‘Getting Older’ from his new rapper and storytelling songwriter, book Reasons to Write Rhymes in Rob Bradley was invited to Whitgift an Upper School assembly.
