The £22m ‘bridge to nowhere’ that was built 12 years ago – and still hasn’t opened
A perfect storm of bureaucratic bungling by the council, Network Rail, developers and the government has derailed a transport hub dream

Residents in Croydon have waited months to learn what the Mayor is actually proposing to do in his review of the youth engagement team. Scrutiny is on Tuesday & the paperwork still hasn't been shared with the councillors on that committee.
What's he trying to hide?

The loss of this community asset is devastating. I wrote to Croydon Council to urge them to support the boxing club to stay open. It shouldn’t have come to this
New Addington Amateur Boxing Club is a pillar of the local community but if Croydon Council goes ahead with its plans to sell the building without a suitable alternative for the club, it could be lost forever.
