Traffic noise maps of public parks in Croydon May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Croydon 1 1. Addiscombe Recreation ground 2.

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.

Polling District and Polling Places Review 2011 Final Report of the Returning Officer
Appendix A Polling District and Polling Places Review 2011 Final Report of the Returning Officer This report sets out for consideration by the Council the Returning Officer’s arrangements for polling districts and polling places within the London Borough of Croydon. The review has been conducted according to the requirements of the Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places (Parliamentary Elections) Regulations 2006 that came into force on 1 January 2007. The consultation period lasted from 1 September until 23 September 2011. All submissions were considered and appear in this final report. The Polling District Review Task Group, consisting of four members of the Council, considered and reviewed the Returning Officer’s proposals. The methodology followed in producing the proposals was as follows: • That the Returning Officer’s median figure for the initial review of 1,750 projected polling station voters per polling district formed the basis of the recommendations within this report • That, in line with Electoral Commission guidelines, there will no more than 2,500 electors allocated to each polling station • That electors will be distributed equally amongst all polling districts in the Ward, where practicable • That accessibility requirements will be accounted for when allocating polling places • That local disability groups will be consulted as part of the review • Polling district boundaries could be changed but not the Ward boundaries Other considerations: • There are many new developments in the process of being built.

Upper Grove, London, SE25 £375,000 Leasehold Recently refurbished throughout A stones throw to Selhurst park Approx. 0.4 miles to South Norwood football ground station Solid wood ﬂooring throughout Versatile living layout Large rear garden An abundance of storage space 2, Lansdowne Road, Croydon, Surrey, CR9 2ER Tel: 0330 043 0002 Email: [email protected] Web: www.truuli.co.uk Upper Grove, London, SE25 £375,000 Leasehold VENDORS COMMENTS: "Moving to South Norwood six years ago meant a fresh new start for my two then small children (four & six) and myself. We had to leave our beloved Streatham, as we could not aﬀord a property there with the budget available and South Norwood was close enough for them to stay at the same school and near other family members. Unlike Norbury or Thornton Heath that we also considered, South Norwood completely charmed us, as it beamed with tonnes of development potential and was on the brink of going through a well-deserved re-generation due to its many beautiful residential roads and parks on its doorstep (Grangewood Park with tennis courts and other sports amenities, South Norwood Lake with boating and lovely playground, Country Park with with its turtles, pitch and put and tonnes of cycling/running/playing opportunity, Tennison Rd Sports Ground with football and more, Crystal Palace with its dinosaurs just a 15mins’ bike ride) and fantastic public transport connections from Norwood Junction station (approx 0.4 miles) and Selhurst (approx 0.6 miles) to the rest of London (direct trains - 15mins to London Bridge, 20mins to Farringdon, 20mins to Clapham Junction, 30mins to Victoria, 20min to Gatwick Airport, 1hr to Luton Airport and frequent 5min trains to East Croydon).
