It was a busy August! Here’s what your Green Party councillors Ria Patel and Esther Sutton got up to…
- Ria and Esther organised a community litter pick at The Queen’s Gardens. There was a great turnout of local residents, gathering a dozen bags of rubbish!
- Ria and Esther spoke to residents from Woburn and Bedford Court about the proposed demolition of their estate, hosting a public meeting, and supporting residents to get their views heard.
- Together with Croydon Green Party members, Ria and Esther also spoke to town centre residents on their doorstops, listening to their concerns and helping to solve local issues.
- They attended many meetings with officers at Bernard Weatherill House (the council offices) raising residents’ issues.
- Ria campaigned against the regular live facial recognition operations in the town centre. Croydon has had the most live facial recognition operations in London so far in 2024.
- Both Ria and Esther supported residents on Tamworth Estate before the launch of the brand new Tamworth Estate Community Hub.
- Ria also joined the rest of the Sutton & Croydon Green Party at the yearly Carshalton Eco Fair, talking to local residents, and just as importantly, helping to get the tea and cake from our vegan café to eco fair visitors!
Keep an eye out for us as we get things done in Croydon, and we’ll be back here next month for a slightly more Autumnal update.
