Our inspirational mayoral candidate Rowenna Davis has published her manifesto, which includes exciting plans for Croydon as we strive to regain pride in our borough and put People First.

We will be posting sections form the manifesto as we build up to the local elections on May 7th.

The entire manifesto is published now and can be viewed here.

Today’s topic is about fixing the finances in Croydon.

This is hugely important as the financial situation has not improved over recent years, despite selling off most of the Council’s saleable assets.

We cannot change the past so there is no point going on about it and apportioning blame. We all know that mistakes have been made for many years under different leaderships in Croydon, but the key thing is to move forward from this and get Croydon progressing again.

That is what Rowenna’s whole manifesto is all about.

Croydon residents want change. Croydon residents need change. Croydon residents deserve change.

We cannot change the past, but we can change the future – we have to.
