Croydon Labour Group’s new Shadow Cabinet has been appointed today.
We will continue to work hard for the residents of our borough and hold the Conservative Mayor to account.

6 months with no heating or hot water at Admiral Court #waddon
Since March, we’ve been meeting, emailing, pushing for action. Still no answers, so we’ve demanded urgent joint meeting.
Thanks @bbclondon for covering this: https://t.co/noMZ620Fhr
Residents: How more can we help?
. @yourcroydon South Norwood Lake toilets need to be improved . 🚻
I found poor hygiene standards, especially in the women’s toilets, with no toilet paper, no light and a bad smell. 🤢
It’s good that the toilets are open, but we need this to be better please 🌹
There you have it – the Tories have learnt nothing.
The Shadow Chancellor hasn't been in the job for a week and he’s praising Liz Truss’s mortgage-spiralling mini-Budget.
Badenoch's Tories are doubling down on their economy crashing policies, Labour is bringing back hope.

Mayor Perry’s rash decision to ignore consultation has lost Croydon much-needed funding to make our roads safer.
Instead of game-playing, he should engage constructively with TfL to secure funding to make Croydon roads safer for all.

On Ukraine Independence Day, the UK stands shoulder to shoulder with the people of Ukraine and their sovereignty, freedom, and democracy.
We will not waver.
We stand with Ukraine.
#SlavaUkraini
The blue and yellow flag represents more than independence. It represents resilience.
Today, on Ukrainian Independence Day, we stand in solidarity with Ukraine and its people. London's support remains unwavering as they continue to defend their country and their future.
I grew up on the top deck of the number 44, watching London go by. Today, our buses are cleaner, greener and more affordable than ever.
As the son of a bus driver, I couldn’t be happier.
Delighted to contribute my favourite bus route for the @ObserverUK:

The International Day for the Remembrance of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and its Abolition is an opportunity to remember those whose lives were stolen by slavery - and to confront the legacy it left behind.
Dear @JasonForCroydon
I’m yet to receive a response after your post in June I never had and update about the toilets at SN lake. Summer is coming to an end soon.
I’m hearing the toilets are recently open but have not been cleaned. @yourcroydon Can you please get back to me
Pleased that many of the amendments by Croydon Labour to strengthen Croydon’s Community Safety Strategy, better protect local businesses and communities and improve the monitoring of serious violence and repeat anti-social behaviour have been accepted. Looking forward to a constructive discussion at Full Council meeting on Monday 20 July. @CroydonLabour@Stuart_King
Residents and local businesses have raised serious concerns about crime and anti-social behaviour in Purley and I will continue working with Croydon Council, Metropolitan Police and Purley BID to seek sustained action that keeps Purley safe, welcoming and thriving for everyone. @metpoliceuk #PurleyBid @yourcroydon #ShadowCabinet #CommunitiesSafetyAndJustice

Tomorrow we’ll be updating planning rules to give stronger protection for pubs.
We’re drawing a line so developers have to prove there’s genuinely no way to save a pub before they can even think about knocking it down.
Building the homes we desperately need shouldn’t come at the cost of the pubs we love.

Labour is protecting our pubs. Along with the 20% cut to business rates, pubs across England will received increased protection under new planning restrictions announced today.
These establishments are integral for communities and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
A few cooler days won't undo weeks of dry conditions.
The threat of wildfires remains high.
Dry ground and careless behaviour can quickly lead to a fire. Please act responsibly and report any suspected arson to the police.

Portland Road and South Norwood High Street are at the heart of our community and need investment.
Andy Burnham is giving councils like Croydon more control over their high streets by restricting the number of vape and betting shops and taking action over empty shops.
A decade ago, the Night Tube changed Londoners’ nights out forever.
Londoners said goodbye to running for the last train on weekend nights and hello to a new era of a 24-hour city.
