"A £20,000 reward is being offered for information by police over the fatal shooting of young father-of-three Akeem Moore ..."Wallace was due to stand trial at the Old Bailey on 17 July 2017 but the Crown Prosecution Service offered no evidence during a short hearing on 12 July 2017 and he was formally found not guilty.
The court heard a key witness, Wallace's former partner, Florence Roche, had retracted her statement claiming that Wallace had confessed to his involvement in the murder and asked her to wash his tracksuit because 'there was a boy's brains on it'.
Prosecutor Duncan Atkinson also said that while CCTV and phone evidence placed Wallace “in the vicinity” of Eastney Road at the time of the killing, but there were other suspects who could not be eliminated.
He added: “The Crown has concluded that that combination of factors means there is no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.'
Prosecutors had claimed that Wallace attacked Mr Moore and the other man after they “slighted” him during a violent altercation three days earlier.
Mr Moore’s aunt Yvette Hinchley, 51, told a regional newspaper “We as a family are devastated and we don’t know what to do now. We are desperate to find the killer and get him behind bars.
“Akeem’s children are still very young. They don’t understand what happened and keep asking questions about him.
“They think their father is playing football up in heaven and all they want to do is go and play with him up there too.
“We need to get answers for them.”

Matthew's Yard are appealing for help against developers who apparently want to turn the site into apartments.
Croydon has a shit load of empty apartments already.
Here's the petition to get Mayor Khan involved if anyone wants to take a look.

Most of South London aren't gonna bother going all the way to Shepherds Bush or Stratford to go shopping. And many people (myself included) aren't fans of big, shiny, new shopping centres.

Why should the predominate theme of Croydon be shopping?
It wont work anyway. Centrale has never been fully let. Poundworld are an anchor store in the High Street and the Whitgift Centre is following St. Georges Walk down the shitter.
John Lewis are not coming and neither is money to build a new Westgate.

This fun article was written last year (before the opening of the Portland Arms, unfortunately) about the bit of Croydon where I live.

I went past this yesterday, it's looking good and I think it's a lovely concept. I'm not necessarily their target market, as 3 year old daughter means spare time is limited so I can't see my wife and I going out to play board games right now (unless they cater to families as well?) but I hope it's successful.

I like the concept, but I don't know if i would go to a cafe with friends to play board games.
I shall have to see if I can find some friends to try it with
Maybe we could do an urban gathering there, particularly if it is open in the evenings.

Applied. Hopefully will get to ask of panel support Senis Law (topical and purposes by a local MP)
