GIVING HIGH STREET TO THE PEOPLE Traffic to be excluded for year-long pedestrianisation pilot. A section of High Street, in the town centre, is to be pedestrianised with a view to improving traffic flow and boosting the night-time economy. The 12-month pilot aims to drive footfall to and from North End, and increase customer numbers for nearby businesses by closing High Street to all vehicles, including buses and taxis, between Katharine Street and Park Street, creating a new public space. Work is already under way to relocate bus and taxi stands and alter the road layout to make Park Street one way, rerouting traffic that used to travel along High Street via St George’s Walk instead. High Street will remain accessible to cyclists, and the second phase of the scheme will focus on how the newly pedestrianised area is used.

  • 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.
