Defibrillator installed @ Pollards Hill Park

Following a campaign driven by our vice chair, in conjunction with Cllr Scott Roche (Cabinet member for streets and Environment) and Croydon council officers. We are pleased to report that a community defibrillator has now been installed at Pollards Hill Park. The equipment is sponsored by FM Conway and supplied and fitted by Code Blue CPR. This life saving equipment increases survivability during a cardiac arrest event. A huge thanks goes to everyone involved in making this project a reality.

Another win for PHRA members - The Brambles

The Pollards Hill perennial development site at 18 Pollards Hill West, has been refused by development management of Croydon’s local authority, following the end of the public consultation period. (further details on our Planning page)

We looked at the scheme and we agreed with the resident members, the scheme was inappropriate. The reasons for refusal are plentiful and the scheme can be adequately summed up as, not policy compliant.

Congratulations and a huge thanks must go to the resident members who worked on the detailed technical objections and to those of you who submitted your comments during the public consultation period.

A special Thank you to Cllr Neal, Chair of Planning, for the swift Chairs referral of interest and to our local Cllr Griffith, for his offer to speak at committee, on our behalf.

Lastly a thank you to the development management team @ Croydon, often vilified for doing their jobs, that took the time to carefully consider the public consultation comments and form the only logical conclusion, scheme refusal.
