Croydon has joined communities around the United Kingdom as they enter a 10-day National Mourning period for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Croydon residents and members of the public are invited to Katharine Street, outside the Town Hall, this Sunday for the reading of the Proclamation of the Accession of His Majesty King Charles III.

Statements from Councillor Alisa Flemming, Civic Mayor of Croydon and Jason Perry, Executive Mayor of Croydon.

Eligible residents can apply from today for exemption permits to be able to drive through Croydon Healthy Neighbourhood camera schemes, which will go live on a trial basis from 30 September.

With our young people heading back to school, college and training following the summer holidays, I hope everyone enjoyed their time off and is feeling ready for a new academic year. We had some great results over the past fortnight and you can all be proud of your achievements.

All six of Croydon Council’s Extra Care services have been rated as ‘Good’ following Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections.
