Local Resident Submissions to the London Borough of Croydon Electoral Review Local resident submissions to the London Borough of Croydon electoral review This PDF document contains submissions from residents in Croydon. The submissions from have been collated into one document. They have been sorted alphabetically, by surname. (G-K) Starkie, Emily From: Prabhat Garga Sent: 02 May 2017 11:53 To: reviews Subject: Croydon Neighbourhood Boundary Revision Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged For the attn. of The Review Officer (Croydon), Local Government Boundary Commission for England Dear Sir, I read, with dismay, the recent proposal to merge the current Fairfield ward (Park Hill & Whitgift) with the Addiscome ward to form the 'Addiscombe East' ward. I outline below my close knowledge of the 2 wards and my objections to the merger proposals. When my wife and I first moved to Croydon some 45 years ago we lived in Canning Road (Addiscombe) and the last 35+ years in Chepstow Road, Saville Gardens and the Fairfield ward. Our children went to local primary schools and both my wife and I have participated in local charitable, social and political groups in support of actions in the Fairfield ward. From our earliest involvement in Croydon, the 2 wards ( Addiscombe and Fairfield ) have had separate needs, acted differently and approached local planning and local government proposals and actions from completely different perspectives. As the rationale for having local leaders is to precisely and fairy represent the views of their residents and their needs, merging of the 2 current wards would represent the denial of two very different sets of residents views and needs an imposition of centralised bureaucratic thinking in local government measures. The key difference between the two existing wards lies in the nature of the housing and open spaces that reflect the nature and needs of the residents of those two areas. Fairfield ward comprises of large parks and green spaces with largely single dwelling family houses and some low level multiple flats and very few business entreprises. As a result the residents there stay in their houses for a long time and their children go to local primary and secondary schools over long periods. The residents therefore naturally focus on the needs of their area on a long term basis to preserve the amenities available to them while adding to the development and facilities in the whole of Croydon. On the other hand, Addiscombe ward comprises of closely packed smaller houses, often semi‐detatched, large number of flats ( conversions and new high‐ rise) and many small to large businesses. Over the years we have noted that the community living there has become very transitory, with little regard for the longer term local community and social needs. It often seems now that the area north of Addiscombe Road ( the northern dividing line beteween Addiscombe and Fairfield Wards) has become a short‐term rental area with residents and landlords having little interest in wider local government and amenities preservation issues. I wish to register my strong objection to the creation of the new 'Addiscombe East' ward as proposed as it would submerge our local views and needs with those having completely different needs and objectives. Yours sincerely, Prabhat Garga 1 2 Starkie, Emily From: Joan George Sent: 08 May 2017 14:49 To: reviews Subject: Addiscombe boundary review Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Dear Sir/madam, It has just been brought to my attention that today is the deadline for commenting on the council ward boundary review. I don't think this has been well advertised to local residents. I live on and my children attend school, one of our geographically closest primary schools. The new boundary would put their school and Ashburton park (which we consider to be our local park and walk through everyday) in separate boroughs. I am currently campaigning for safe pedestrian access to our school, changing the boundaries would make this substantially more difficult as the families I am campaigning with live on my side on the proposed boundary changes whilst the school would be moved to the other. nb. I am struggling to get help from the council so I am not writing this because I blindly follow the local labour councillors. Addiscombe has a definite community feel which extends towards ashburton park but ends at Addiscombe Rd. As has been pointed out, the set ward boundary has ended at Addiscombe Rd since the 1920s. Residents in the area of Sandilands, Lloyd Park and Park Hill are not in our community‐they attend different schools, churches and use different shops and library facilities. I am worries that a councillor representing that area as well as Addiscombe would have too wide and split area of population to serve either well. Please review, I support ended the ward at Addiscombe Rd and keeping the Ashburton park and tollgate estate area in our ward as we are the same community. Yours, Joan George Sent from my iPhone 1 Starkie, Emily From: Jim Gibbons Sent: 02 May 2017 11:21 To: reviews Cc: Subject: London Borough of Croydon - Ward Boundary Proposals Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged As a resident of Sanderstead Ward, I support the proposals made by the Local Government Boundary Commission. My address is J. N. Gibbons 1 Starkie, Emily From: Bryan Godfrey Sent: 29 April 2017 22:52 To: reviews Subject: Boundary Consultation The Review Officer (Croydon) Local Government Boundary Commission for Englan 14th Floor Millbank Tower London SW1P 4QP Dear Sir/Madam, Re: Boundary Consultation I am responding to a leaflet dropped into my letter box today. I do have a strong preference to be identified with the new South Croydon Ward to be created eventuality. Every service & every amenity within my residential area to which I can easily negotiate & commute (seeing as I am elderly & disabled), is either labelled or, historically connected with & widely known, is either prefixed or, suffixed with South Croydon. Previousl employment, Family & Social Connections & Community based Services upon which I am very dependant, revolved around South Croydon, & still does. I would be obliged if you would kindly take these points into deliberation, when making your decision, however whimsical my proposed reasons might appear to the consultative committee. Yours Faithfully Bryan Godfrey 1 The Review Officer (Croydon ) Local Government Boundary Commission for England 14th Floor Millbank Tower Millbank London SW1P 4QP Dear Review Officer, I wish to comment and object to some proposals of the changes to be made to the wards and councillors arrangements for Croydon. I have read the proposals and I do not agree with the treatment of Park Hill in the centre of Croydon and its shift from the centre, as Fairfield Ward, a shift which is to change the area totally, and my home being placed in Addiscombe West and Park Hill Ward. My community has few if any connections with north Addiscombe but is clearly more related to the centre…… but if that is impossible with the predicted rises in people and businesses in the centre of Croydon, I think you need to change the proposed boundaries in relation to the north/south details…… for example, the proposals are for Addiscombe West and Park Hill to unite over the former boundary of Addiscombe Road, rather than accepting the connections between Park Hill and its southern neighbourhoods and putting the boundaries between the Addiscombe and Shirley Wards in a more coherent east west frame with the boundaries between these wards relating to their constructions and population…… My home has been in Fairfield Ward in Croydon since March 1970 when my beloved and I moved into a flat we bought in Maresfield on the corner of Park Hill Road and Chepstow Road. In August 1978 we shifted across the Chepstow Road down the hill a bit, and slightly north to Turnpike Link….. I have been reasonably active in community affairs; in each place for a time I served on the estate committee (Wates had designed each part of the estate to have a small management group to look after communal interests like trees and gardening for shared areas). I have also taken part in many Croydon Education Committees as a Governor of several different Schools in the borough: Westwood High School, Upper Norwood 1989 – 2001 Haling Manor High School, West Croydon 2002 – 2008 Howard Primary School, Dering Place, Croydon 2002 – present. So I am aware of some planning issues and the effects of increases in local populations. I have also served Croydon in relation to cultural planning, serving as a member of the board of the Warehouse Theatre in Central Croydon from 1994 – 2000. I was an Official Objector at the Planning Inquiry into the proposals for Ruskin Square and its development based on an Arena which met during the autumn of 2007 and decided the next spring to reject the Council’s plan for an Arena. The outcome did help somewhat in the erection of flats and office buildings in Ruskin Square…… though it has taken 10 years for the first people to move in and Boxpark Response to Local Government Boundary Commission for England Review of Wards in the Borough of CROYDON is not exactly a major cultural contributor to the artistic and theatrical resources in Croydon. I wish to object to the Commission’s draft recommendations for my area, as the boundaries fail to reflect local interests and the identities of my community. I believe a better alternative exists, which more closely reflects local identities while meeting the Commission’s requirements for electoral equality, and effective and convenient local government…… and also pays attention to the transport modes available to the people who live in the area.

  • 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.
