Croydon Get Involved

Live Project

Have your say in redesigning Croydon Council’s website

Our website is changing. Help us make sure it works for you!

We are part of Croydon Digital Service (CDS). We want our services to work for the people who use them — you, Croydon residents, council staff, Croydon businesses and potential visitors.

This means we need to know what you need, so that we can build services that meet those needs and make interacting with council services easier and faster.

One of our main projects is redesigning the council website.

Autism Strategy 2020-2024

Are you autistic and living in Croydon? Do you live, work with, or care for an autistic person in the borough?

Do you have ideas about how the council and its partners could work better with those with autism and their communities?

Would you like to have your say? We would like to hear from you!

We have set out proposed outcomes and priorities that we, the council, along with our partners, will focus on to address some of the key challenges those with autism face in the borough.

Feedback from the survey will be used to develop our Autism Strategy 2020-2024, and to understand and address the priorities identified by the autism community in Croydon.

Your feedback will remain anonymous. To help us ensure that this is the case, please try to avoid inputting any personal details, such as your name or address. Thank you.

The survey has now been extended until Friday 9 October 2020.

South London waste plan

Sep 4 2020 to Oct 22 2020

Environment, Planning and regeneration

The South London Waste Plan (adopted 30 January 2012) sets out the spatial issues and objectives to be met in waste management for the next ten years up to 2022. It is a joint development plan document (DPD) and covers the geographical area comprising the London Borough of Croydon, the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, the London Borough of Merton and the London Borough of Sutton. It contains policies to guide the determination of planning applications for waste facilities and identifies existing waste sites to be safeguarded and areas where waste facility development may be suitable.

The South London waste plan is part of the development plan for Croydon's local plan programme. It is in conformity and should be read alongside with the policies of the Croydon Local Plan 2018.

The South London Waste Plan is currently being updated. A draft South London Waste Plan has been published for comments to be made. It sets out the proposed strategy of Croydon, Kingston, Merton and Sutton councils for the location of waste facilities and how planning applications will be decided. The new South London Waste Plan when adopted will cover a 15 year planning period from 2021-2036.

Publishing the draft South London Waste Plan is a formal stage in the statutory process of preparing a new Waste Plan. All comments made will be sent to a Planning Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State who will consider whether changes need to be made to the draft South London Waste Plan to make it ‘sound’.

Streetspace schemes

May 21 2020 to Sep 30 2020

Parking, streets and transport

Our new streetspace improvement schemes give more road space to pedestrians and cyclists. They are being introduced across Croydon in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Measures should make it easier for residents to maintain social distancing at busy areas such as the entrances to parks, shops and transport hubs.
