Spring update from The Croydon Project

The Croydon Project thanks everyone who took part in the Spring 2026 consultation which ran from 12 March to 23 April 2026.

The team spoke with approximately 300 people in-person through a wide range of engagement activities across the borough, including:

  • A preview session for councillors and community groups
  • Six pop-ups across the borough, including North End, New Addington Market, Norwood High Street, Norwood Junction Station, Surrey Street Market and Legacy BabyZone
  • Three youth-focussed pop-ups to engage young people from across the borough at The BRIT School, Croydon College and Legacy Youth Zone

What they heard
Over the course of the consultation, the team received 470 feedback surveys in-person and online. The survey results reported that 85% of respondents support the vision for The Croydon Project.

They are now reviewing all the feedback received and using it to help shape the next stage of the designs.

Continuing work with the NextGen Panel
The team also hosted a dedicated NextGen Panel session to continue working with young people from across the borough. The panel remains an important part of the project’s wider engagement programme, helping to ensure that young people continue to shape the future of the town centre. Their feedback helps the project team better understand young people’s views, lived experience and ideas.
