Croydon's Creative Hub

Creative London, a new programme for the capital's arts industries, was launched on Monday with a target to raise their cash value to £32BN within 10 years.

It is starting with a £50M lump sum.

Creative London plans to open "creative hubs" (small offices for arts entrepreneurs) in, amongst other places, Croydon.

Maybe the prospective influx of Van Gogh's and Goya's could put their minds to the more pressing task of regenerating the decaying, and neglected centre of Croydon.

Croydon Council certainly seem to be good at finding novel ways to spend our money, pity it is not going to improve the appearance of the centre of Croydon though.
