Croydon Council has outlined how it will use over £2.5m in new government funding to support ongoing work to transform its district centres, restore local pride, and help businesses thrive.
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) will provide vital new funding over three years to projects focusing on ‘communities and place’ and ‘local business support’.
Croydon’s plan includes an initial focus on high street and public space improvements, making local areas more attractive for residents and businesses. Around £580,000 worth of regeneration projects are set to cover Thornton Heath, Selsdon, New Addington, and Purley, and will be directly shaped by individual communities.
