The Living Wandle Landscape Partnership supports the wider initiative to create a new regional park in the Wandle Valley, stretching from Croydon and Sutton through Merton and Wandsworth to the Thames in the North. Progress towards this is being coordinated by The Wandle Valley Regional Park Trust. The vision is for the Wandle Valley to be a coherent and vital part of London’s green space network, creating a place rich in heritage, where people are proud to live, work and play, that contributes to the economic vibrancy of South London. This will be done by focussing on six key aims: landscape, heritage & culture, health & well-being, natural systems & resilience, people & communication and economic growth. Wandle events wanted!

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.

  • Leader of the Council Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Tony Newman July 2020
    Leader of the Council Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Tony Newman July 2020 LATEST NEWS Croydon Council Covid-19 Response Over the past four months we have been through unprecedented times and I am proud of how Croydon Council staff, elected members, Croydon NHS, the Voluntary Sector and all our other partners have responded to the Pandemic. Together we have ensured that Croydon’s most vulnerable residents, businesses and communities have been supported through these difficult times. However it remains important that we remember all those that have lost their lives due to the pandemic and our thoughts remain with families who have lost loved ones. Croydon has faced significant pressure, both in terms of the new demands placed on our services and financial pressures. The Council’s Cabinet has been meeting informally on a daily basis throughout the pandemic and Cabinet Members continue to work closely with officers to inform the Council’s recovery plan for the future. The LSP has met on a weekly basis, using technology to support virtual meetings. These meetings have provided an excellent opportunity for all partners to receive the latest updates, ask questions and coordinate actions. Like other local authorities across the country Croydon has spent millions on supporting our community through Covid-19 – from swiftly setting up hubs to deliver food and essential supplies to thousands, to providing welfare support to many, many more. AMBITIOUS FOR CROYDON Leader of the Council Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Tony Newman July 2020 Yet despite assurances from the Government at the start of this pandemic, that we would be fairly funded for this work, to date councils have only received a fraction of what they have spent.

If successful, we would receive £1.35 million from the GLA and would hope to pull in significant amounts of partnership funding taking the overall budget to over £4 million. Our bid included large scale events with companies like Arcadia from the Glastonbury Festival, an open access fund of £500,000 for local community projects, a structured approach to involve all our neighbourhoods and communities via 23 beacons situated across the borough, a new structure for decision making linked to the Big Conversation and the Culture Network set up after the previous Borough of Culture bid in 2017 and new investment programmes in social prescribing and job creation in the culture and creative industries. Our bid, This is Croydon, has been shortlisted to become London’s Borough of Culture 2023. This means we will now go forward to compete against seven other shortlisted boroughs in the final round of bidding in January 2020. Interviews will be held on 17 January which is when we will be launching our bid publically and on social media, and when we will really need you to show your support.

The initial consultation is the first stage of the 12 month behaviour change journey and we are now seeing a number of residents moving onto the next 3 month review stage. As can be seen below, residents are achieving some very positive results from engaging in Live Well Croydon as they work towards their longer term health goals: Mr B – now a non-smoker at 3 months, has increased physical activity levels and improvement in mental wellbeing score. Miss J - 7kg weight loss at 3 month review, reduction in high fat foods and fried foods within her diet; improved mental health and wellbeing. Mr N - reduced calorie intake by 800 calories a day by making small swaps and increased his exercise from under 30 minutes a day to nearly 90 minutes.

Chairman’s Comments Those of you who use the Ashburton Playing fields will know we have been plagued with (sic) Travellers who have left us rate payers to pay to clear up their mess. You will find photographs of this elsewhere in the newsletter. The Council have, I understand, been attempting to get these people out of the Croydon environs by issuing injunctions, to whom I am not sure. However, if anyone has a telephoto lens on their camera and sees anyone dumping rubbish and we can identify an individual (e.g. vehicle registration) we will do our utmost to ensure that person is brought to justice through the court system. It seems our appeal to obtain the services of more road stewards has had a partial success although more are needed to reduce the workload of a few.
