 Croydon Conservatives - Full text of the selected story
Were Croydon funded in the same way, that would amount to £64 million a year extra for local services or could be equivalent to halving our council tax bills.
If Croydon received the same Government grant per resident as Ealing — a council which the independent watchdog, the Audit Commission, says is very similar to Croydon — we would have £40 million a year extra for local services, or council tax bills could be reduced by about a third.
If Croydon received a fair deal, your council tax would be considerably lower and it would also be possible to invest more in local services.

 Named and Shamed (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Since then Croydon Council and Sutton and East Surrey Water (who apparently own the land) invested £130,000 building a floodbank and culvert to prevent this happening again and fenced in and gated the area so there is no access to the general public.
It seems that Croydon Council is determined to push forward with its proposal for building an arena at the Gateway development on Dingwall Road.
This is being done in the hope that the owners, and Croydon Council, will be suitably "motivated" by their sense of shame and resulting public pressure to clean up those areas that have been “named and shamed”.

The Council had carried out inspections under the building regulations but had failed to notice that airbricks of half the specified size had been installed.
