  • Norbury Road, Thornton Heath, Surrey, CR7 £450,000 Freehold
    Norbury Road, Thornton Heath, Surrey, CR7 £450,000 Freehold 2, Lansdowne Road, Croydon, Surrey, CR9 2ER Tel: 0330 043 0002 Email: [email protected] Web: www.truuli.co.uk Norbury Road, Thornton Heath, Surrey, CR7 £450,000 Freehold “We bought this home in 2017 as our first step on the property ladder. The Yellow House really drew us in and when we got inside we could see that it was exactly what we wanted. The hardwood timber flooring in the living and dining area as well as the lobby was a real plus straight away but it was the amount of natural light in the living area that quickly caught the eye. Big windows, glass doors into the extension and conservatory type glazing into the back garden. The kitchen is a dream space-wise and the cooker was one of the first things we both mentioned after we viewed the house as we both love to cook. The garden is really spacious and has been great for hosting people and barbecues in the summer. The downstairs toilet off the extension is perfectly located for this too. 3 bedrooms upstairs with 2 large doubles is great. The 3rd is perfect for a single room but also ideal for an office, or in our case, a home gym! We redecorated when we moved in to brighten it up further and add our own stamp on the house. With the space available, the options for furnishing are endless. The house is a short walk to Thornton Heath station, which has very quick links in to Central London as well Croydon and Gatwick airport.

  • Submission by Thornton Heath Labour Party and the Thornton
    Submission by Thornton Heath Labour Party and the Thornton Heath Neighbourhood Association to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England regarding the electoral wards review for the London Borough of Croydon 2016-2017 This submission concentrates on the present and proposed boundaries of the Thornton Heath ward in north Croydon and explains why the existing boundaries should be largely retained as being those that best define the local community, and why some other submissions should be rejected as unsound and divisive. The Current Thornton Heath ward with polling districts The existing ward boundaries have remained fairly constant for a great many years, since long before this became a ward division of the London Borough of Croydon in the 1965 local elections. Only minor adjustments occurred along the northern part of the boundary following the 1998 boundary review and this was necessitated by the deletion of the small Beulah Ward that adjoined that boundary. There are alternative proposals, notably by the Croydon Labour Group (which will no doubt become the official Council submission) which seek to annexe most of the Thornton Heath High Street and adding it into a renamed version of Bensham Manor ward and also pushing the ward boundaries north and away from its historic and recognised community area. This submission strongly opposes that proposal. The table above is the Council’s calculations for the 2016 and 2022 electorate after calculating population growth and taking into account predicted residential developments. The Council’s own calculations state that the overall electorate will increase from: 264,126 in 2016 to 281,944 in 2022 The average electorate per councillor will increase from: 3,773 in 2016 to 4,028 in 2022 In particular the Thornton Heath electorate will increase from: 11,238 in 2016 to 11,635 in 2022 A variance of -1% in 2016 to a variance of – 4% in 2022.

  • Norbury History Chronology
    WHAT HAPPENED IN NORBURY? An Introductory Chronology Pollards Hill Recreation Ground Fountain & former Age Concern UK office Norbury Library Norbury Park Norbury Brook Sean Creighton History & Social Action Publications 2017 1 Introduction Norbury is a district in North Croydon with borders with the Streatham district of the London Boroughs of Lambeth and with parts of Merton. The name ‘Norbury’ is an abbreviation of ‘Northborough’. ‘Borough’ originally meant a certain manor or district. What became Croydon contained several boroughs. Reference to these was dropped when Croydon was incorporated as a County Borough in 1888. This chronology has been compiled to help stimulate interest in Norbury’s history. The first modern history of the area A History of Norbury by David Clark was published by the Streatham Society in 2013. It has been through several reprints but is now out of print. It can be read at Norbury Library. David occasionally gives talks about Norbury’s history and leads walks in the area. I am a historian whose interests include Croydon and Norbury, where I live. History & Social Action Publications is my publishing imprint. I am an individual member of the Croydon Local Studies Forum, and co-ordinator of the Croydon Radical History Network. I hope that this introduction will inspire readers to research aspects of interest to them. One of the easiest ways is to look at the local newspapers from the 1860s at Croydon Museum’s Local Studies Research Room at the Clocktower at Croydon Town Hall complex in Katharine St. Sean Creighton February 2017 [email protected] Prehistoric Period 1459.

  • The Geography of Inequalities
    The Geography of Inequalities Submission No. 2 to the Croydon Opportunity and Fairness Commission Contents Page 1 Introduction 3 Appendix 1. Social Deprivation in Croydon 2001-3 11 Appendix 2. Annual Public Health Report 2015 13 - Appendix 1 - Understanding deprivation in Croydon 18 - Appendix 2 – A View of Croydon 19 - Appendix 3. What do we know about the people and their lives in Norbury? Introduction 1. The Commission will need to root its work in a detailed analysis of inequalities across the Borough, both at ward level, and within wards. The extent to which what is termed ‘multiple deprivation’ has either increased or decreased since 2000 and what the trends are likely to be for the next four to five years will enable the Commission to ensure that its questions to various official agencies, community and voluntary groups, and businesses will be anchored in the realities of deprivation. 2. In February 2004 I finalised a report for the Committee that was setting up the South London Law Centres including in Croydon analysing deprivation with a view to advising on potential locations for law centre premises. I have edited the information relating to Croydon and attach it as Appendix 1. 3. On 27 January the Health, Social Care & Housing and Scrutiny Sub-committee considered possible themes for the Council’s Public Health Report 2015 (https://secure.croydon.gov.uk/akscroydon/users/public/admin/kab14.pl?operation=SUBMIT&meet=2 6&cmte=HAS&grpid=public&arc=1). The Director of Public Health argues the case for concentrating on geographic inequalities with a particular view to being an aid to the Commission.
