Croydon Council: School Safety at Risk, Fly-tipping Fines Rise

This week in Croydon:

School Safety Funding at Risk

A petition presented at the Council meeting on 16 July 2025 called on Croydon Council to protect funding for School Road Safety Officers, specifically the Lollipop Man at Cypress Infants and Junior Schools. Petitioners argued that children's safety should not be compromised for financial savings, despite the introduction of a Healthy School Street and a zebra crossing near Cypress Road. This decision directly impacts the safety of young children and highlights the difficult choices the council faces amidst financial constraints.

Council Finances Remain Precarious

The council acknowledged a £1.6 billion deficit and ongoing discussions with the government for a financial resolution. Without government intervention, the council stated that it would not return to financial stability. This stark admission underscores the severity of Croydon's financial crisis and its reliance on external support.

Fly-tipping Fines Increase

In response to concerns about fly-tipping in Thornton Heath, the council announced increased enforcement, including Fixed Penalty Notices rising from £400 to £1,000. This action aims to deter illegal dumping and improve the cleanliness of the area, addressing a key concern for residents.

Housing Repairs System Under Improvement

Following complaints about the housing repairs system, the council apologised for poor service and outlined improvements, including outbound calls to residents 48 hours before appointments. The council stated that they had seen improvements in repairs service, including improved KPI's related to first time fix and tenant satisfaction with last repair. This initiative seeks to enhance the responsiveness and quality of housing services for tenants.

Community Safety Taskforce Established

Concerns about safety in Croydon, particularly regarding drug addicts and antisocial behaviour, led to the establishment of a dedicated Croydon Town Centre Taskforce. The taskforce, comprising the Council, Police, businesses, and voluntary groups, aims to tackle these issues through coordinated efforts. The council also mentioned plans to renew the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) and upgrade CCTV.

Sale of Community Assets Defended

In response to a question about the sale of vital community assets, such as pre-schools and mental health charities, the council stated that the central government and the Improvement and Assurance Panel have encouraged the council to dispose of non-operational, non-essential assets to reduce debt. They confirmed that Davidson Pre-School is located in a property identified for disposal, but they have offered an extended lease to July 2026 to allow time to find a suitable premises for relocation. This decision reflects the council's need to balance financial pressures with the provision of essential community services.

Contract Standing Orders Updated

The council approved the adoption of proposed Contract Standing Orders (CSOs), which will supersede the existing Tender and Contract Regulations in Part 4H of the Council's Constitution. The new CSOs are designed to align with the legislative requirements of the Procurement Act 2023, the Procurement Regulations 2024, and the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The council also authorised the Monitoring Officer1 to update the Constitution and any Scheme of Delegations to make any consequential changes.

  • The council noted the Health and Wellbeing Board Annual Report 2024, which summarised the board's work from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024.
  • The council agreed to appoint Ishbel Fraser as the non-Council Employer representative and Kay Oshin as the Staff representative to the Pension Committee.

Croydon Council Faces Government Intervention, Ethics Code Changes

This week in Croydon:

Government Minded To Intervene in Croydon Council

Croydon Council convened an extraordinary meeting on Thursday to address the government's announcement that it was minded to send commissioners into the council. This follows concerns about the council's compliance with the best value duty under the Local Government Act 1999. The council discussed the potential consequences for decision-making across all levels, from the Executive Mayor to the Scrutiny function.

  • Best Value Duty: The government's concern centres on whether the council is delivering services economically, efficiently, and effectively.
  • Proposed Directions: The Secretary of State has proposed directions for the council, including implementing the Croydon Stabilisation Plan, addressing financial management culture, and restoring public trust.
  • Commissioner Powers: Commissioners could be appointed to oversee governance, scrutiny, financial management, service redesign, and even the appointment of statutory officers.
  • Financial Implications: The council would be responsible for the fees and costs associated with the commissioners.

The council noted that the full impact of the intervention remains uncertain until the Secretary of State makes a final decision. Link to meeting

Ethics Committee Proposes Code of Conduct Changes

The Ethics Committee met on Wednesday to discuss revisions to the members' code of conduct, aiming to improve transparency and accountability. The proposed changes, which will be recommended to the Full Council, include:

  • Updated Complaints Process: Streamlining the process for handling complaints against councillors, including clearer assessment criteria and reduced acknowledgement periods.
  • Assessment Sub-Committee: Establishing a sub-committee to advise the Monitoring Officer[^5] on assessing complaints, ensuring a more robust and impartial review process.
  • Conflict of Interest Clarity: Adding a new paragraph on conflicts of interest to provide clearer guidance for councillors.

These changes aim to strengthen ethical standards and public trust in local government. Link to meeting

Licensing Committee Considers Street Trading Applications

The Licensing Committee met on Monday to discuss applications for designating sites for street trading under the London Local Authorities Act 1990. The committee was scheduled to determine whether to designate three sites and grant licenses for those locations.

  • Public Safety: The report pack noted that the proposed display areas would allow for the required two-metre clear distance between the edge of the display and the kerb, ensuring pedestrian safety.
  • Stakeholder Consultation: The applications were advertised and brought to the attention of various council departments, including the police, planning, highways, and food & safety team.

The committee also reviewed minutes from past meetings, including those concerning various licensing sub-committee meetings. Link to meeting

Health Scrutiny Committee Examines Social Care Finances and Service Quality

The Scrutiny Health & Social Care Sub-Committee met on Tuesday to discuss the financial position of Adult Social Care and Health, the Adults Living Independently transformation programme, and the Croydon Health Service Quality Accounts.

  • Financial Overspend: The sub-committee was scheduled to note that the Adult Social Care and Health Directorate had a forecast overspend of £5.3m (3.2%) against a budget of £164.0m as of January 2025.
  • Increasing Care Costs: The report cited increasing care costs, high demand for home care, and the rising cost of nursing and residential care beds as significant factors in the overspend.
  • Transformation Programme: The sub-committee was scheduled to note the progress of the Adults Living Independently programme, which aims to support residents to increase their independence and reduce reliance on commissioned care services.
  • Health Service Quality: The sub-committee was scheduled to receive and note the Croydon Health Service Quality Accounts 2024-25, a statutory annual report reflecting the trust's performance in areas such as patient safety and clinical effectiveness.

The sub-committee was also scheduled to receive an update from Healthwatch Croydon and review responses from the cabinet to scrutiny recommendations. Link to meeting

South Croydon Housing Plan Sparks Debate: Croydon Council Update

This week in Croydon:

Housing Development Sparks Controversy in South Croydon

The Planning Sub-Committee met on Thursday to discuss several planning applications, including a proposal to demolish a house and build five four-bedroom houses at 8 West Hill, South Croydon. While the Director of Planning and Sustainable Regeneration recommended approval, the plan has faced significant opposition.

  • Resident Concerns: Councillor Lynne Hale, Chris Philp MP, and the Sanderstead Resident's Association all objected to the proposal.
  • Previous Refusal: A previous application for six homes on the site was refused, and the appeal dismissed due to concerns about the development's bulk, massing, and impact on pedestrian safety.
  • Council Justification: The report pack stated that the current proposal addresses previous concerns through design amendments and a reduction in the number of units.

The decision on this application could set a precedent for future developments in the area, potentially impacting the character of the neighbourhood and the quality of life for residents.

Purley HMO Plan Raises Concerns About Overcrowding

The Planning Sub-Committee also considered an application to convert a house at 48 Brighton Road, Purley into a 6-bedroom, 9-person House in Multiple Occupation (HMO). Councillor Samir Dwesar, members of the public, and the Purley & Woodcote Residents Association objected to the application.

  • Housing Need vs. Community Impact: While the Director of Planning and Sustainable Regeneration recommended approval, citing a housing need, concerns remain about the potential impact on the living conditions of neighbours and the overall character of the area.
  • Conditions for Approval: The recommendation for approval included conditions related to cycle parking, refuse storage, ventilation, and an HMO Management Plan.

This decision highlights the tension between the need for diverse housing options and the potential negative impacts of HMOs on local communities.

Children and Young People Scrutiny Focuses on Stabilisation and Family Support

The Scrutiny Children & Young People Sub-Committee met on Tuesday to discuss the Children, Young People and Education (CYPE) directorate's stabilisation plan, the family hubs model, and the youth justice plan.

  • Stabilisation Plan: The sub-committee reviewed the plan's actions related to children in care and home-to-school transport for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
  • Family Hubs: The sub-committee reviewed a June cabinet paper on the progress of the Croydon Family Hubs and Start for Life Transformation Programme, which aims to expand services for families with children aged 0-19 (or 25 with SEND).
  • Youth Justice: The sub-committee reviewed the Youth Justice Plan 25/26, which outlines the council's strategy for preventing and reducing offending behaviour in children aged 10-18.

These discussions are crucial for ensuring that vulnerable children and young people in Croydon receive the support they need to thrive.

Coulsdon MOT Centre Faces Potential Redevelopment

The Planning Committee was scheduled to meet on Thursday to discuss a planning application for 127 Marlpit Lane, Coulsdon. The proposal involves changing the use of the site from an MOT and servicing centre to a vehicle rental premises.

  • Local Opposition: The plan has generated significant local opposition, with 61 objections citing concerns about design, noise, traffic, and environmental impact.
  • Resident Support: The East Coulsdon Resident's Association supported the proposed change of use, but raised concerns about potential car parking issues, lack of EV charging points, noise from the car wash and potential flooding issues.
  • MP Involvement: Chris Philp MP supported the comments made by the East Coulsdon Residents Association and wanted to ensure that vehicles associated with the business were parked on site.

The decision on this application will have a direct impact on local residents and the surrounding environment.

Croydon's Finances: Stabilisation Plan Approved, Family Services May Change**

This week in Croydon:

Council Approves Stabilisation Plan Amidst Financial Crisis

Croydon Council's Cabinet met on Wednesday to discuss the borough's dire financial situation and approve a Stabilisation Plan aimed at addressing a projected £34.2 million overspend. The plan, a response to conditions set by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) for Exceptional Financial Support (EFS), outlines measures to manage demand, reduce costs, increase income, and improve productivity, with a target of £27.3 million in savings for 2025/26.

  • The Stakes: Failure to stabilize the council's finances could lead to further cuts in essential services and increased financial strain on residents, particularly vulnerable groups.
  • Demand-Led Services: The report highlighted that demand-led services, particularly in housing, are driving the financial challenges.
  • Improvement and Assurance Panel (IAP): The report also noted the ongoing role of the IAP, appointed in early 2021 following the council's financial collapse in 2020, to provide external advice and guidance.

The Cabinet also reviewed the 2024-25 Period 10 Financial Performance Report, which forecasts a year-end overspend of £34.2m before mitigations.

Family Services Face Potential Overhaul

The Cabinet also discussed the Family Hubs Model and Children's Centres, including the opening of the Samuel Coleridge Taylor Centre (SCTC) Samuel Coleridge Taylor Centre (SCTC), and considered a public consultation on realigning the current Children Centre Model into the Family Hub Locality Model. This would expand the service from 0-5 year olds to 0-19 year olds (or 25 with SEND).

  • Impact on Families: The proposed changes could significantly alter the way families access support services, potentially affecting early childhood development and support for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
  • Public Consultation: The council is considering a public consultation to gather feedback on the proposed changes, highlighting the importance of community input in shaping these services.

Climate Action Plan Revised

The Cabinet considered a revised Climate Action Plan, which addresses carbon reduction, climate adaptation, and mitigation. The plan sets out actions to achieve carbon neutrality, including annual reporting and review.

Other Matters

  • Scrutiny Recommendations: The Cabinet considered recommendations from various scrutiny committees, including those related to publishing contract performance data, the impact of Healthy School Streets schemes, and upskilling the council's workforce in risk management.
  • Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman Report: The Cabinet discussed a report from the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman (LGSCO) regarding a complaint about the council's decision to withdraw funding for nighttime care for a resident. The LGSCO found fault with the council's actions and made recommendations for redress.

Streets & Environment Sub-Committee Focuses on Stabilisation and Climate

The Scrutiny Streets & Environment Sub-Committee met on Tuesday to discuss the council's stabilisation plan, the climate action plan, and the period 10 financial performance report. No video was provided. Link to meeting

  • Parking Income: The sub-committee was scheduled to receive an update on how the Sustainable Communities, Regeneration & Economic Recovery (SCRER) directorate intended to meet its target of £1 million of increased parking income.
  • Climate Action Plan: The sub-committee was scheduled to receive the June Cabinet Report on the Climate Action Plan ahead of the Cabinet meeting the following day.
  • Financial Performance: The sub-committee was scheduled to review the latest Financial Performance Monitoring report, to consider whether it was reassured about the delivery of the 2024-25 Sustainable Communities, Regeneration & Economic Recovery Budget.

In September 2023, the Climate Team was appointed and undertook a discovery exercise across the council to review insight and progress against the original plan. An options appraisal was conducted, to develop pathways towards decarbonisation, based on the headings Affordable, Intermediate and Aspirational. The Affordable option aligned within the available budget envelope available to the council, while the Intermediate and Aspirational options required substantial financial investment and additional resource, which are currently beyond the council's resources and available funding. Following input from the Mayor, the team revisited the Affordable option in line with the available budget envelope, and explored options of going further, which was developed as an Enhanced option. The Enhanced Option is that which can be delivered without additional expenditure (over and above service Business as Usual activities) by using alternative funding options.

Croydon Faces £34m Overspend; Stabilisation Plan in Motion

This week in Croydon:

Council Grapples with £34.2m Overspend

Croydon Council is facing significant financial challenges, with a projected overspend of £34.2 million as of January 2025. This was revealed in the 2024-25 Period 10 Financial Performance Report, discussed at the Scrutiny & Overview Committee meeting on Tuesday. The overspend is primarily driven by demand-led services, particularly in housing, and the council's historic borrowing and debt burden.

  • The Stakes: Without intervention, this overspend could lead to further cuts in essential services and increased financial strain on residents.
  • Mitigation Efforts: The council plans to reduce the overspend to £4.3 million through a combination of risk contingency budgets, corporate earmarked reserves, and capitalisation directions1.
  • Housing Crisis: The Housing Revenue Account (HRA) is also forecast to overspend by £8.0 million, with temporary accommodation costs soaring due to an average increase of 50 paid units per month and rising nightly rates.

The council's financial woes are not new. As previously reported, Croydon Council effectively declared bankruptcy in 2020 and has been under scrutiny ever since.

Stabilisation Plan Aims for £27.3 Million in Savings

In response to its financial difficulties, Croydon Council is implementing a Stabilisation Plan, a key topic at the Scrutiny Homes Sub-Committee meeting on Thursday. The plan aims to save £27.3 million in 2025/26 through various measures:

  • Housing Focus: Key actions include reducing temporary accommodation placements, allocating general needs housing to temporary accommodation, and accelerating the house buying process for homeless families.
  • Impact on Vulnerable Groups: These measures could disproportionately affect vulnerable residents relying on council housing and support services.
  • Parking Income Boost: The plan also includes increasing parking income by £1 million through increased penalty charge notice (PCN) income and improved debt recovery, a move that could impact drivers across the borough.

The Cabinet is scheduled to discuss the plan on 25 June 2025.

Housing Service Performance Under Scrutiny

The Scrutiny Homes Sub-Committee also reviewed the performance of the Council's Housing Service, focusing on key performance indicators (KPIs) and financial performance.

  • Tenant Satisfaction: The council is required to submit Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM) annually to the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH).
  • Repairs and Maintenance: The committee examined average call waiting times for the repairs contact centre and satisfaction levels with how the contact centre deals with repairs and maintenance.
  • Re-letting Properties: Performance in re-letting properties had improved, with the average turnaround time decreasing from 45.3 days in December 2024 to 33.5 days.

The committee also discussed the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) and Housing General Fund (GF) forecast outturn for 2024-25, noting a significant overspend in the Housing General Fund due to demand pressures within temporary accommodation.

Other Matters

  • Cemetery Regulations: The Bandon Hill Cemetery Joint Committee convened to discuss proposed new regulations for Bandon Hill Cemetery, covering memorials, planting, conduct, and fees. No video was provided.
  • Health and Wellbeing: The Health & Wellbeing Board approved a themed approach for its forward plan, discussed representation from the voluntary sector, and signed off on the Better Care Fund Year End Submission for 2024/25.
