My Policies
I love this place, I want the people of Croydon South to have the opportunities they deserve. A Labour Government will transform Croydon.
Business rates for local businesses
Under the Tories business rates have skyrocketed and it’s causing small businesses and local economies to be devastated. I support Labour’s plan to scrap the business rates system to encourage local business growth. This will see local High Streets in South Croydon flourish and increase investment into the local area.
Safer Communities
The police force in Croydon have been cut deeply over the years and it’s seen crime increase across the area. We need to support the local police with their mission to police at a community level to reduce crime. High Streets in Purley and Coulsdon need a more constant police presence to deter crime
Planning policies that work
We need sensible housing policies that maintain the aesthetics of areas like Sanderstead and Coulsdon. While also demanding the standards of social housing are improved. Residents need a voice in planning in Croydon South. I want communities to create local plans not local authorities and Chris Philp wants to give more control to his developer friends
Protecting our green spaces
Our Green spaces are more than just a stunning attraction in the local area. They are where we walk, get fresh air, socialise and exercise. The Tories are putting our green spaces under threat by opening them up to fracking and building on the green belt. I will protect our green spaces and make sure they are never built over.
