Around 15 new trees have been planted in Pollards Hill Park, earlier this year.
The PHRA committee would like to thank the Parks team for arranging the allocation of the new trees.

The Pollards Hill perennial development site at 18 Pollards Hill West, has been refused by development management of Croydon’s local authority, following the end of the public consultation period. (further details on our Planning page)
We looked at the scheme and we agreed with the resident members, the scheme was inappropriate. The reasons for refusal are plentiful and the scheme can be adequately summed up as, not policy compliant.
Congratulations and a huge thanks must go to the resident members who worked on the detailed technical objections and to those of you who submitted your comments during the public consultation period.
A special Thank you to Cllr Neal, Chair of Planning, for the swift Chairs referral of interest and to our local Cllr Griffith, for his offer to speak at committee, on our behalf.
Lastly a thank you to the development management team @ Croydon, often vilified for doing their jobs, that took the time to carefully consider the public consultation comments and form the only logical conclusion, scheme refusal.
We advise that the PHRA AGM will be delayed this year due to lack of Committee members – meeting date to be advised.
Urgent Appeal for New Committee members: if you think you can help us make a difference and care about the area where you live, please contact the PHRA by email to PHRAENQUIRIES@GMAIL.COM
The PHRA has been duly notified by our local cllr Griffith, the Pollards Hill perennial development is back for public consultation in a renewed guise and you can find details of the application here -
If you wish to leave a comment, we have put together a guidance document which can be found here -

Recently, a high-end car was stolen overnight from a driveway on PHN. The owner thought that residents should be made aware of such thefts in the area. She added that she had taken precautions of having the key in RIIF pouches and also then in a metal container but somehow the thieves managed to take the car. Police advised her that in future to just order high range Air tags and hide one in the car so at least it can be tracked via your phone.

With the new year may come the resolution to lose some weight, and there are lots of companies out there that will try to take advantage of this. This Community Notice is a warning about the 'companies' that do this with no easy way to contact and make a complaint.
If you feel like you have been taken advantage of by one of these companies, please contact Action Fraud.
