I am very pleased that we were able to co-opt five new members on to the Board of Management this year, following a recruitment drive. We are fortunate to be able to replace those members who are retiring and also ensure a broad range of skills and experience for the future. David Scott Chairman 04 What our partners say... Eldon Housing continues to work hard with Croydon Council to deliver savings whilst providing an effective, efficient Facilities Management service at Fellows Court Extra Care and Heavers, Addington and Langley Resource Centres through their Homes for the Future (New 4 Old) PFI Project. The Association understands the challenges faced by local authorities in delivering savings and efficiencies, whilst continuing to serve local communities and citizens. The Association’s fresh approach to service delivery is helping the Council to adapt and intelligently evolve for the long term enabling it to become the enterprising Council of the future. By understanding and sharing Croydon’s priorities the Association can develop and adapt to the future organisational demands and challenges that lie ahead.” Integrated Commissioning Unit (Adults) Croydon Council For the last 20 years, Eldon has acted for the Croydon Unitarian HA as Managing Agents responsible for the day to day running of Marten House and its administration and are to be congratulated on their high level of achievement. Not only has the House and garden been maintained to a good standard of upkeep, most importantly the tenancy level of the House has remained high throughout thereby ensuring the financial stability of this small Housing Association over the years. A feature of the service that Eldon provides is tenant support. Marten House is not a care home. It exists to provide ‘sheltered accommodation for the elderly. This being so, the tenants are expected to be independent, and most, if not all, enjoy this knowing also that there will be support should it be needed. This is an important element in the excellent service provided by Eldon. Croydon Unitarian Rev. Jim McClelland Housing Association Limited Chairman Eldon Housing Association’s partnership with East Grinstead Housing Society started in 2003 and we continue to benefit from the expertise and advice from Eldon’s Chief Executive, Elizabeth Rangé and its Finance and HR Teams. The involvement of Eldon has assisted greatly in the smooth running of our scheme, Lingfield Lodge, which is unique in its service provision.

  • Croydon London Borough

    Croydon London Borough

    Croydon London Borough Personal Details: Name: Richard Chatterjee E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: To the Local Government Boundary Commission As a resident since 1992 within the Addiscombe and Shirley Park Residents' Association (ASPRA) area, and who has represented the current Shirley Ward as a councillor since 2002, I hope that the following comments will be useful generally but especially in relation to Addiscombe and Shirley. The 16 'places' of Croydon were arrived at to meet the needs of the communities of Croydon and, just like the histories of Addiscombe referred to below, are objective and not generated for electoral ends; they deserve to be given greater weight than the council's proposals because of that objectivity and even- handedness. Identities If you ask people here where they live, they will give their geographical location, such as Addiscombe, Shirley, Purley, Woodside, South Norwood, Upper Norwood, Sanderstead, West Croydon, and Norbury. Some of those areas are large, such as Addiscombe (which naturally runs eastwards from the line out of E Croydon railway station and is centred on the Lower Addiscombe Road); beyond that, including the Longheath estate, people usually describe themselves as being in Shirley, and contact the Shirley councillors even though they are technically in the artificially construct of 'Ashburton Ward'. Geographic Shirley is greater than the current Shirley Ward, as it really comprises the stretch southwards from the Longheath estate, and to the Shirley Hills (which are also known as the Addington Hills, according to which map is being used). The reasons for these identities is the natural boundaries such as railway lines, the roads that glue the communities together (eg the Lower Addiscombe Road shopping centre has shops on one side and houses on the other that have permanent free parking outside; have bus routes that people from both sides of the road come together to use, and the Addiscombe Tram Stop; and socially cohesive pubs such as The Alma and The Claret).

    SECTION 3: ASSESSMENTS OF THE AREAS PROPOSED AS PART OF CONSULTATION ON CROYDON LOCAL PLAN 81 1. ADDISCOMBE 1.1 RECOMMENDATIONS Current status An area proposed for Local Heritage Area designation during the consultation of the Croydon Local Plan: Detailed Policies - Preferred and Alternative Options, based on its architectural and townscape qualities. Criteria conformity The area between Northampton Road, Shirley Road, Addiscombe Road and Lower Addiscombe Road is an attractive residential location that is typical of interwar suburban development. It is similar to many others in Croydon and in the country. There are a number of notable well-preserved buildings scattered throughout the area. Addiscombe Recreation Ground forms the only distinctive landscape element in this area and it is currently on Croydon’s Local List of Historic Parks and Gardens. This status provides sufficient level of recognition and a greater level of protection than Local Heritage Area status. Recommendation 1.1 Designation as a Local Heritage Area is not recommended. The character of the area between Northampton Road, Shirley Road, Addiscombe Road and Lower Addiscombe Road is successfully recognised and managed by the general policies of Chapter 7 paragraph 58 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy 7.4 of the London Plan and Policy SP4 of the Croydon Local Plan. 1.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA The Addiscombe area is located between Northampton Road, Shirley Road, Addiscombe Road and Lower Addiscombe Road. It contains a mix of residential character types: Terraced Houses and Cottages, Detached Houses on Relatively 1.2 Large Plots and Planned Estates of Semi-detached Houses, which reflect the 1.3 historic phases of the development of this place.This large residential area is composed of family houses with an integrated recreational ground and a church.
