The current Chair of the Coulsdon Neighbourhood Partnership is Charles King. The Vice Chair is Elizabeth Radcliffe. Coulsdon is a very active Partnership and has a Steering Group who met to progress issues in and around Coulsdon. The Chairs of the local Residents’ Association in the area are on this Steering Group as are various other interested local people.

The Neighbourhood Partnerships were first set up in Croydon in 2000 and there are ten Partnerships, covering the whole of the Borough. The purpose of the Partnerships is to consult, encourage comment on the provision of services local and the influence the policies of the Council and its partner agencies as they affect particular geographical areas. Partnerships give you the opportunity to have your say about local issues and matters of concern in your Neighbourhood.

Anyone who lives, works, studies or has business interest in the relevant area can get involved. If you are interested, you may attend any of the meetings as an observer, regardless of where you live or work.

The Partnership  currently meets three times a year at suitable local venues like schools colleges, Church halls etc. Contact details for London Borough of Croydon and information such as dates, Agenda and venues for Coulsdon Neighbourhood Partnership are:

LOCAL CHARTER SURVEYOR'S VISION FOR COULSDON IN CONJUNCTION WITH HORDEN, CHERRY LEE ARCHITECTS

Clyde's proposal covered walkways - 1.jpg

Clyde Malby FRICS (Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) who is experienced in a wide range of commercial, educational buildings, health buildings and special projects including the Channel Tunnel Terminal at Waterloo;   the UK Pavilion at Expo 92; Queens Stand at Epsom; the various Stands at Lord’s Cricket Ground and very many similar projects. He is also a member of the Neighbourhood Partnership Steering Group and on the Committee of Purley Residents Association.  The issues surrounding Clyde's proposals were discussed at the last Neighbourhood Steering Group Meeting and it was agreed that this should be put on the website.


 

Clyde had put the theory of covered walkway forward several times over the last few years and, in conjunction with architects Horden Cherry Lee, they presented to the London Borough of Croydon their concept of how Coulsdon could look with an improved public realm which would compliment the regeneration work which has already taken place but which has been rejected by them as ‘too late’.  The proposals are for covered walkways in the continental style; a folding canopy which would provide lighting from the solar panels and seats beneath.  Rainwater would be channelled either to the gutter or for re-use and the installation would only require the lifting of one paving stone for each support post and therefore could easily be incorporated into the regeneration scheme without too much disruption.

 

We would like to find out if residents think that such a scheme would be a good idea or not and if we should push LBC to think again. Please let us know your view by emailing info@eastcoulsdon.co.uk .

 

Here are  representations of how Clyde sees Coulsdon.  Canopies in the form of window blinds were used within Coulsdon in years gone by so would only be an updating of original concepts
