Many residents have recently been in touch with me to highlight an issue around the removal of bus shelters locally.
I was also particularly concerned to see this, especially by East Croydon, and with the winter weather incoming.
I have contacted TfL and been provided with the information below which I hope will be of interest to residents.
Please do let me know if it has impacted on you.
"Morning Councillor Appleton
Earlier this year, Croydon Council terminated their contract with JCDecaux who had managed bus stops in the borough for many years. I was told that JCDecaux were steadily removing their stops before the new contractor (Valo) works to erect new ones.
TfL have been working with JCDecaux to ensure our countdown technology is reclaimed from removed bus stops… but we have not been made aware of when the Valo stops would go in. This information sits with Council officers.
Thanks
Zoe"
