The Scrutiny Streets & Environment Sub-Committee meeting on 15 September 2026 discussed the review and potential revision of the borough's Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charging schedule, aiming to increase revenue for infrastructure projects. The committee also received updates on environmental enforcement activities and discussed the ongoing highways contract and future procurement plans.

Key discussions during the meeting included proposals for revised CIL rates, with considerations for increasing charges for residential developments in the Croydon Metropolitan Centre and introducing charges for student housing and certain industrial and business uses in the rest of the borough. The committee noted updates on the highways contract, including a second one-year extension for FM Conway, and discussed the strategy for a new 10-year highways maintenance contract. Furthermore, the sub-committee reviewed the period 2 financial performance report, noting a forecast overspend primarily due to low traffic neighbourhood costs, and discussed the development of new guidance for residential extensions and alterations. The committee also received updates on environmental enforcement activities, including the introduction of new government legislation to strengthen action against fly-tipping and waste crime. Finally, the sub-committee reviewed potential items for its future scrutiny work programme, including the strategy for electrifying the council's fleet, local energy strategies, and the evolution of the Love Clean Streets app.
