The recent incident on Green Lane underscores the urgent need for improved road safety.
At Full Council, I called on the Mayor of Croydon to introduce effective traffic-calming measures and provide a proper pedestrian crossing.
We will continue pressing the Council for meaningful action and clear next steps. Our residents deserve safer roads and safer journeys.
Thank you to everyone supporting our campaign for safer streets. Together, we must keep pushing for change.
