Could be.I think the London Brighton veteran car run still used the high street after it was closed to most vehicles?

My tiny phone screen says that, and I get it now. Sad to discover that Allders is that old and that grand when you consider what's happened.Says Allders on the building in the picture.

And the, ever faithful, London road.Only Church Street is thriving.
Croydon Central did exist but never Croydon North?
Considering the detail (and I like this guy's videos) Im surprised he didn't mention addiscombe station, Spencer halt, etc.Croydon's lost station
Residents' "independent' groups, most Tories and some 'dissident' Croydon labour are in favour.So what's the deal with this referendum on Thursday the 7th of October?
As I understand it some people want a mayor of Croydon to be elected.
I know nothing about what problems this is supposed to fix or if it is just an idea to try and get a tory elected to overrule labour councillors.
It is a good idea to stop corrupt council decisions with the mayor acting more in favour of peoples wishes?
Should the people be able to vote for an overall mayoral leader or does it make more sense for the council to do this? We vote for a political party, and don't have separate prime minister elections.
Nothing has really been presented to me in any meaningful way yet this referendum is less than a month away. View attachment 288761

Obviously that makes you suspicious, but with the shit state of the old Newman mafiosa running the show until this year, who can blame them for having a pop?
Will change nothing, obvs.

Ceremonial security guard at Allders.I knew someone who was an alderman in Croydon. Not sure what this is or was and even if the post still exists.
Not when they are directly elected. Directly elected mayors take on the role of leader of the Council and can be pretty powerful/influential.A mayor is just a figure head and has little power. It's the CEO and councillors who hold the power. I knew someone who was an alderman in Croydon. Not sure what this is or was and even if the post still exists.
