Cllr Tony Newman told developers and investors they had a significant role to play in the regeneration of the borough, at the Develop Croydon Conference, today.
“This is a hugely important time for the borough, with massive economic uncertainty, Brexit and the national debate taking place. Investment in Croydon is real now and more is coming in. This is the chance to see the transformation of Croydon from a sleepy outer borough to a modern, sustainable city on the edge of London,” he said.
He continued to highlight the progress that is already taking place with Fairfield Halls due to open in September. Plus, the future growth being driven by projects like Network Rail’s plans for East Croydon station and the Brighton Main Line as well as Gatwick’s expansion plans, providing the infrastructure needed to support the other developments taking place.
He concluded by highlighting that to continue this momentum it would involve working together to help make Croydon a place that people want to live and work and somewhere they want to be in the future.
