Croydon desperately needs a PLAN to fix the finances. Not more bluster and scaremongering.

The community spirit in #Waddon keeps growing—just like the bountiful community garden! 🌱 Great to see visits from local schools, generous donations from park users, and the care and commitment of the volunteers. Got an hour to spare? Come join the fun in #WandlePark! 🌼 @rowennadavis.bsky.social

Really glad to see these garages in New Addington fixed after ages of dilapidation and fly-tipping. Now, the site is safe and secure. Thanks to Corina and other residents for fighting this with me, Cllr Kola Agboola and @ndironsmp.bsky.social, and to the Council for finally seeing to it!

This dangerous & unhygienic mess needs sorting for New Addington NOW. I’m working with @ndironsmp.bsky.social & Kola Agboola to get it done. Will keep you posted. #Croydon #flytipping

Residents in Croydon have waited months to learn what the Mayor is actually proposing to do in his review of the youth engagement team. Scrutiny is on Tuesday & the paperwork still hasn't been shared with the councillors on that committee. What's he trying to hide? #CroydonLabour #YouthServices

Millions of £££ of taxpayer money is going to Veolia - why can’t they just pick up the bins? @ndironsmp.bsky.social

So much history and long term residents in #waddon, a special place I am privileged to represent together with @rowennadavis.bsky.social .

Such a joy to meet Shirley on the doorstep - 80 years ago she was celebrating VE Day with her family in Waddon. A true local legend!

Another day on the doors! Thank you for your support Hadi Naqui (TUC organising award winner 2024)!

How do you get to be Labour’s candidate for Croydon Mayor anyway?

🧵 I'm asking you to vote to put People First. But what does that mean? 1/5

Thank you to Croydon Labour members who joined the selection hustings tonight! And thank you to all who contributed questions. Community in action! #PeopleFirst

@andyburnham.bsky.social is a real Labour hero. A great Mayor who puts People First.

Huge thanks to Val Shawcross CBE, former Deputy Mayor of London, for her kind words and support. The best Mayor Croydon never had 🙏

I thought the Mayor said the Croydon jungles were over 🤔?

I’m on the shortlist! Now, it’s over to Labour members #PeopleFirst

What a lovely visit to see James at Our Space on Croydon High Street today. Heard some really exciting plans for investment in this fantastic community hub where all are welcome. Take a look at their website for more info: www.disabilitycroydon.org.uk/about-1 #peoplefirst

Change is coming to Croydon, and @rowennadavis.bsky.social is blazing the trail with her dedication and vision. I'm proud to support Rowenna as Labour’s candidate for Croydon Mayor. #CroydonDeservesBetter

Thank you so much to everyone who joined!🌟 #Croydon 5/5

Is anything better for biceps than motherhood?

Great to see the viewing platform *finally reopen* in #Waddon Ponds, along with new play equipment for kids. Thanks Croydon Council for listening to residents, @ellilyp.bsky.social, myself & others who have been calling for this for so long! 🌳 🦆 🛝

Under Mayor Jason Perry, Croydon residents have seen their council tax go up 📈, borrowing increase 📈 but services go down 📉 A statement from Croydon Labour councillors ⬇️

Thank you @croydon labour team, we spoke to plenty of #waddon residents ; housing is by far the biggest concern, communal doors not closing or off all together for weeks; rough sleepers entering blocks a significant concern amongst many . @rowennadavis.bsky.social and I will do all we can.

“Other boroughs have private companies prosecuting fly-tippers, paid for by the money they collect in fines. Why can't Croydon have something like that? Probably because the Mayor spends more time passing the blame than he does fixing Croydon.” www.mylondon.news/news/south-l...

'Garbage dump' Croydon street is blighted by rubbish and scattered waste

The Thornton Heath street has been blighted by persistent fly-tipping in recent years, and residents believe it is because of a lack of enforcement from Croydon Council
