People with disabilities are often not consulted when it comes to decision making processes. How do people with disabilities and disability organisations experience Croydon Town Centre? How could the future of Croydon town centre’s spaces represent them better, including their needs & local knowledge?

The London Borough of Croydon has commissioned the Croydon Town Centre Regeneration Strategy (2023/24) in order to improve and plan the future of Croydon’s town centre.

As part of this plan, we want to bring together local disability organisations, stakeholders and representatives from Croydon Council to explore together what a truly accessible Croydon town centre looks like to those experiencing disabilities.

We’d love for you to join us over food to discuss with each other, collect ideas and also build on topics that were raised in the last access symposium organised by Drunken Chorus and Gig Buddies in 2021.

Free and open to all; please click through to the Eventbrite page to book a free space so we know how many people to expect!

Croydon Council is creating a new strategy to underpin the regeneration programmes being planned for the town centre. Croydon’s community groups, residents and businesses will be key to shaping Croydon’s vision.

A multi-disciplinary team led by consultants We Made That, experts in urban strategy, design and infrastructure, has been appointed to create a varied programme of community-led activities where participants will be able to influence the vision and strategy.

A programme of workshops to explore the future of Croydon town centre offers residents, businesses and partners the opportunity to get involved.
