Norbury Library Not Under Threat
It appears that Norbury Library will not be closed under the Mayor’s new package of cuts in the Library Service, which is thought to involve four to five libraries, according to Inside Croydon. The cuts paper was supposed to go to the Cabinet this Thursday, but has been held over until next year.

Guttering Scammers Active In Croydon
A resident of central Croydon has reported that two males cold called at his home offering to clear his gutter for £39.00 and replace a seal for £25.00. After a while the men knocked at the door and advised that they had actually replaced 10 seals at £25.00 each and cleared the gutter for £39.00. They demanded cash payment and became aggressive when the resident advised that he only had sufficient cash to cover the original amount that they had quoted and agreed upon. Croydon Trading Standards reminds all residents not to deal with traders who cold call at your door and to look out for your neighbours who may try to engage these types of trader to do work for them. If you are a victim of doorstep crime, or wish to report cold callers, please ring the Citizen’s Advice Consumer Service on 0808 223 1133.
