The Fifty Pence Piece Building

Nice to see that the "Fifty Pence Piece" building by East Croydon station is getting a much needed face lift and clean up.

A step in the right direction.

Unfit Dwellings

The newly elected Croydon council has quite a task on its hands to improve the quality of the infrastructure the borough.

The National Statistics website notes that in April 2004 in Croydon 10,172 (7.3%) of dwellings were classed as unfit. This compares with 'unfitness' levels of 5.8% in the London region, and 4.8% in England as a whole.

Out With The Old, In With The New

Now that the Labour regime have been kicked out of office, it will be interesting to see if the Tories reverse the decay and neglect that has eroding the heart of Croydon.

I will watch their progress with interest.
