We were informed just last night that Lion Green Road car park is due to close with effect from today. The car park was due to close simultaneously with the opening of the new car park to minimise disruption. Coulsdon businesses and residents are suffering enough without Croydon Council’s failed Brick by Brick developers making the matters unnecessarily worse at a particularly difficult time with lockdowns and the pandemic.
The new car park will not be open for 4-6 weeks. This on top of the removal of free parking bays and increased parking charges. We have to wonder whose side they’re on. Not Coulsdon’s!
Strong representations are being made to reduce the timescales for the works but, in the meantime, Coulsdon residents and businesses are again suffering at the hands of a bankrupt Council with no interest in Coulsdon. We will do what we can against an obstructive administration and keep residents informed about this and other developments.
