Wow, what a great turn out in front of Shirley Library, especially at short notice. An estimate of 150-200 people turned out to show their support against Croydon Councils devastating plans for Shirley.
We need to pack the public gallery with residents. We are meeting outside at 5.45. The meeting will be held at:
The Council Chamber, The Town Hall, Katharine Street, Croydon, CR0 1NX
Dear resident.
Thank you for your overwhelming support.
We received more than 3,500 signatures from all of you who object to Croydon Council’s plans for Shirley and the devastating effect it will have on where we live.
This means we can now take our objections to the council.
BUT before we get there we have a photographer from the Croydon Guardian tomorrow at 12.30 outside the Shirley library. They want to take photos of residents objecting to the plans.
We need to show strength in numbers. So, if you can spare 10 minutes of your time, we’d love to see you there.

We can also update you as we have written to Nathan Elvery, Croydon Council Chief Executive. He has confirmed we can present our argument against the plans at the Council meeting on 25 January.

We have a photographer from the Croydon Guardian coming to Shirley Library tomorrow at 12.30 (Sat 16th Jan), and need as many residents as we can get into the photograph.
Come and lend your support. We’ll meet you outside Shirley library.
We just need a few minutes of their time as it will greatly help the Save Shirley campaign.

Shirley residents,
We have written to Nathan Elvery, Croydon Council’s Chief executive, requesting we would like to present our online petition and see a debate at the January council meeting on Monday 25 January.
You can contact him yourself directly – nathan.elvery@croydon.gov.uk and let him know you also want to see it on the agenda for the Council meeting.
We have a long way to go and need to show them we mean business. Can we ask for your support at the Council meeting on Monday 25 January, when we formally present the petition and start a debate on their devastating plans for where we live?
The meeting will be held at the Town Hall, Katharine Street, Croydon CR0 1NX. There is a public gallery and anyone can attend – we need it packed full of MORA residents.
As soon as we hear from the Council we will confirm the time.
It’s not to late to sign the Save Shirley petition and takes just a minute to complete. So, please take the time to raise your objection to the Council’s plans, if you haven’t done so already.

Thank you for your support and we’ll see you on the 25 January.
