"I would urge any witnesses, or anyone with information that may assist the investigation, to call police and tell us what they know."

That's not really in the category of "general chat"

Pivoting
Don't see why not, although the poster gas not actually commented themselves. I guess it's relevant to the queries about Broad Green too as that's where Eastney Road is.
Very sad. Very close to home for me and I do hope it's an isolated incident. People being hurt or killed is never good

boohoo
No.
I think GarveyLives posts these murders on South Norwood, Thornton Heath and Croydon pages to discourage people from moving there.

I went past there the other day and there was a massive billboard advertising 40 years of punk and new rose, but zero information. I just figured it was a display.
Thanks for posting, I would have had no idea this was going on at all.
My daughter would be stoked to see captain sensible.
Not very impressed by the band line ups of pub rock nobodies. Not very punk at all.

I'd imagine that this event is primarily a(nother) promotional event for RISE (don't you like our new Winston Churchill muriel) Gallery, and an "opportunity to order" their over-priced Jamie Reid prints that they failed to shift when they hosted his artwork a few months ago.
Still...if there's free live music...worth a look?

Rather stupidly I turned up for the last few bars from Captain S, but hung around for 'Neck'!
The Captain
Neck...
and...our wonderful town in the sunset!
e2a: take back my earlier cynicism about RISE and their prints; there was no hard sell at all.

If you (and/or your daughter) are a fan of Captain Sensible, you should have been at the Sensible Garden in South Norwood. He not only unveiled it when it was opened a couple of years ago, but returned last week to unveil a new bench. It was named after him.
Have you not heard about it?

One dead, two seriously injured in Croydon knife attack
ffsear i'm still not convinced Westfield will ever see the light of day, it is years late and now the Developers have Croydon Council over a barrel. They can simply walk away if the Council don't agree the revised plans and iirc the Council has spent millions on compulsory purchases.

The re-development of an ailing shopping centre in an existing CBD is a very different prospect to their development of a brownfield site at Stratford. The demographic and socio-economic profile of Croydon's foot-fall appears to have changed markedly since the development of previous shopping zones in Croydon, and especially since 2008. So, rather than building a retail sphere of influence from scratch, as with Stratford, the developers/Council face the challenge of bolting onto pre-existing patterns of usage and perception.
Big ask IMHO.
