that they'll actually deliver needed family housing. Note that I am not supportive of development on the high ridges by New Addington or at Huntingfield only well to the south of the Featherbed inch point. 9/12
I'm pleased to see response to my concerns about racial discrimination in Plan. It's time that politicians brought life to equalities rather than it being a not understood mantra. Discrimination in plain sight of having a preference for burial spaces outside MOL & Green 10/12
Belt and preference for burial spaces to be outside the Borough has been dropped but requirements for proximity to rail stations, tram and bus stops means that a defter discrimination continues. 11/12
If re-elected or elected to office I will speak in front of the inspector for these points that I will summarise shortly. 12/12

The housing figure targets for #Purley through to #Reedham are ridiculously high and unattainable. To judge the whole of this area as a key transport hub is not defensible. 4/12
On behalf of residents, who I have spoken, I opposed the intensification of the Whitgift Avenue and top of Nottingham Road (south) which offer a completed set of family housing units with gardens. 5/12
Intensification area relating to Coombe Lane tram stop a joke when extended beyond start of steep slope down to Ballards Farm estate. Slope is far too steep and extensive to be convenient transport node point to the tramstop for pedestrian and cycling sustainable transport. 6/12

@Waddon Councillors have commented on the limited consultation on the partial review of the #Croydon Plan that sets the planning policies that guide decisions on local planning applications. I summarise these comments in the following tweets. 1/15
@waddon councillors welcome the creation of much needed new homes but have significant concerns about the Croydon Plan review and the way that it has been put together 2/15
@waddon councillors question the legal basis for including so many policies in the Plan that were not in the more open previous public consultations as it applies to #Waddon and especially Purley Way 3/15

Let's be frank. The Fairfield Halls Report in the Public Interest is another deathly blow for Labour Croydon. What follows are remarks I have put on another social media platform. I attach some photos to lighten the mood as we go along. These photos come from my #XCroydonwalk
This article by me as attached was published by @InsideCroydon on Saturday afternoon.
insidecroydon.com/.../sorry-saga…
Key points from me arising from my article and the sorry saga of yet another Report in the Public Interest about Croydon council, this time for mislaying of £37.5m above the budgeted £30 m Fairfield Halls spend, follow.

The removal of long-standing supporters of a Directly Elected Executive Mayor (DEEM) as @CroydonLabour candidates in the local election is route 1 to Labour losing. My candidature being #rescinded for re-interview, @JamieAudsley being removed as cllr & not being allowed to be 1/6
considered in a Labour members' postal ballot, as a very good Labour candidate for Mayor, after being the by far leading male candidate in terms of votes at well attended constituency party meetings & the blocking of DEMOC activist & former candidate Ranil Perera 2/6
reveals a #Labour party entirely unreconciled to having a Directly Elected Executive Mayor. Voters, quite reasonably, will take the view "If Labour don't like the job. Let someone else do it." 3/6

@GeorgeMonbiot Some local council politicians' free speech credentials are threadbare, regarding press coverage or questioning as temeritous intrusion. The decline of local media generally means there's not much speech of any kind, free or not, anyway, down at this level of local governance.1/7
@GeorgeMonbiot The decline of newsprint local media has seen, in some places, local online journalism take its place. Here in Croydon, @insidecroydon has successfully filled that gap. The Croydon response to those shoots of local free speech re-emerging from the fall of local print ... 2/7
@GeorgeMonbiot @InsideCroydon journalism has shown an intolerance of free speech that, if we were a country, would put us well down the @RSF_inter freedom rankings. What is now by far the main news source in the town is boycotted by the council, it's leader & ruling Labour Group. Motions of condemnation 3/7

UPDATE: coming up soon. I have received a response to my polite and bridge building letter to @CroydonLabLCF re my #rescinded Labour candidacy for #Waddon. I am analysing the e-mail. Time to stand up to Wotan? 1/32
UPDATE: I have read response to my polite & bridge building letter to @CroydonLabLCF re my #rescinded Labour candidacy for #Waddon. LCF Response is a top-class piece of surrealist art of the absurd. But first a briefing on the background 2/32
UPDATE: Selection process for 2022 @CroydonLabour Cllr candidates saw the excellent @JamieAudsley barred from council candidacy for not mentioning the words "Directly Elected Mayor" often enough in his interview. @JamieAudsley was 1 of 2 Labour Cllrs to speak up for DEM3/32
