Trees for Streets

LET’S FILL CROYDON WITH TREES
Croydon Council has partnered with Trees for Streets to make it easier for residents to fund tree planting in streets and parks across the borough.

Both the Croydon Street Tree Sponsorship Scheme and Celebration Tree Scheme offer you a fantastic opportunity to play your part in greening the borough.

You can choose to make a donation to have a tree planted in the street outside your house, or to sponsor a tree in one of the local parks as a dedication to a loved one or to mark a special occasion.

The ambition through these schemes is to reduce air pollution, absorb carbon, improve mental and physical wellbeing and generally make Croydon an even more lovely place to live.

Carriageway Resurfacing on The Glade 12 & 13 August

FMCONWAY, on behalf of Croydon Council, will be commencing resurfacing works on:

The Glade from 12th to 13th August between the hours of 20:00-05:00.

The resurfacing works will take place between Starling Close and Property No: 13.

To enable the Contractor to undertake the works, on-street parking will be suspended during works hours (19.00 – 05.00). Please note these suspensions will stay in place until gully cleansing is completed. No parking for residents on the highway in the areas covered by the enforcement signs.

Please note that penalty charge notices (PCN’s) will be applied to vehicles parked within the suspended areas during the works hours and/or vehicles relocated. Due to the above we would urge all residents to ensure that their vehicles are moved from the suspended areas in order to avoid any delays to the works as well as incurring any charges.

Pedestrian access will not be affected.

Information boards will be in place before the works commence, advising of the precise dates and times of the road closure.

Please however note that unforeseen circumstances (e.g. inclement weather conditions) may necessitate a change to the scheduled dates and information on road signs will be changed accordingly. Please check the road signs regularly for any updates.

Due to the nature of these works it is inevitable that some disruption will occur. For this reason it is recommended that where possible you use alternative routes, or allow extra time to complete your journey.
