As part of this consultancy and to consider the viability of catering operations at these sites Fiona Boyd-Thorpe of Boyd-Thorpe Associates has: Visited the three sites; Met with the Business Manager for the City Commons, Haydn Robson; Met with Head Rangers, Allan Cameron and Andy Thwaites; Reviewed available information on visitor numbers, visitor profile and visitor research; Carried out some benchmarking to ascertain the level of catering provision in the nearby communities. Within this short report we comment on the viability of providing catering on each of the Commons, and where appropriate the type of catering provision, the likely level of capital investment, rent and lease terms. 2.0 Data Analysis Very little up to date information was available on the number and type of visitors to the three commons but we have interpreted that which was available as follows: 2.1 City Commons Visitor Observation Survey 2013 The ‘City Commons Visitor Observation Survey 2013’ prepared by Alison Milward Associates suggests that the following number of visits are made each year: Farthing Downs 157,520 visits p.a.

The submissions from have been collated into one document. They have been sorted alphabetically, by surname. (A-B) Starkie, Emily From: Wasee Abu Sent: 07 May 2017 21:10 To: reviews; Subject: Comments on LGBCE Croydon Review I am responding to the draft report by the LGBCE Boundary Review for LB Croydon, for which the deadline for comments is 8th May 2017. I have been a Purley resident for the last 11 years and an active member of the community. I’m delighted to see that you propose to remove the anomaly whereby many local residents who think of themselves as living in Purley because they have a Purley postal address, find that they live officially in Kenley or Coulsdon West wards. I often receive casework from local residents who describe themselves as living in Purley, and they are sometimes quite upset to find that they are deemed to be living elsewhere. It’s clearly the case that “postal Purley” is far too large to be a single ward, but your proposal to split it into two wards of three and two councillors respectively, to be called Purley & Woodcote and Purley Oaks & Riddlesdown is obviously sensible. The name Purley & Woodcote restores a sense of pride and a historical link to the pre-GLC era in the Woodcote area of West Purley, as the residents certainly do not think of themselves as living anywhere near Coulsdon, nor do most of them have a CR5 postcode, which belongs to Coulsdon.
