Welcome to Croydon
Choosing Croydon is choosing to be part of a growing, ambitious and enthusiastic team of professionals who deliver unrivalled technical expertise and the highest levels of customer service. Croydon is a place where things happen, and change is a constant. The town centre is a product of visionary and innovative development in the 1950s and 60s and became known as ‘mini Manhattan’. This has created a very special character and identity which continues to evolve today with the delivery of 1000s of new homes, commercial development and exciting new infrastructure. Commensurate with this iconic status, Croydon Council has a reputation amongst London boroughs as a forward-thinking, exciting and diverse Council, placing its community and residents at the heart of its activities.
Croydon Council’s new three-year inward investment plan sets out how the council will bring partners, developers, investors and Croydon’s diverse communities together to support the regeneration of the town and district centres, and create economic opportunity for all.
‘Unlocking Croydon’s Potential’, which was approved at cabinet on Wednesday 25 September, sets out the challenges Croydon has faced and how these can be overcome to bring investment into the borough.
The council will work with businesses and residents to develop a new sustainable plan to regenerate the town centre, seek inward investment and apply for grants to revive the high streets and district hubs. The Mayor is bringing together key partners who will work together to bring more investment into the borough to benefit all residents.
The benefits to the borough will create new jobs, fill empty shops, make investment work harder for residents and businesses, and attract exciting new businesses into the borough.
Other benefits for residents will be enhanced community spaces as well as cultural and social venues, improved skills and training, increased safety and security, and a culture of enterprise created by attracting new businesses.
One of the first aims is to establish a working group of key partners who will bring external expertise to unlock the investment which will address the borough’s needs.
The council will continue to work with key partners, including Develop Croydon, the South London Partnership, Opportunity London, London Partners, Croydon’s Business Improvement Districts, and education providers, such as London South Bank University, which has a Croydon campus.
