Parking Problems

With increasing parking problems in our roads and on the basis of advice from one of our local Councillors members may take the following action:

1.       Using the Lovecleanstreets app on your mobile phone go to Report a parking offence | Croydon Council (Enforcement Officers should respond to this) or

2.       Phone 020 8760 1966 selecting option 3 or

3.       Report  the matter directly to the Met Police Report antisocial behaviour | Metropolitan Police

             Also see Nuisance parking and abandoned vehicles | Metropolitan Police.

URGENT UPDATE – delay to Welcomes Road (lower end) Closure until 7th August

These works (and road closure) have been delayed from 17th July TO 7th August due to contractor’s mechanical issue. However, they hope to carry out preparation work and other miscellaneous jobs in the intervening period

Please see LINK HERE – which provides important information regarding Welcomes Road restrictions/closure – for works to the road from 12 Welcomes Road to Kenley Lane

New Committee Members and helpers needed for WURA

WURA urgently needs the following:- 

1. Someone to take over running our website, ideally someone who has experience with WordPress.

2. Someone to deal with developer planning applications for WURA. 

3. Someone to  help with road maintenance, road contractors and keeping Welcomes and Uplands Road free of litter, overhanging hedges or dangerous trees that may obstruct our roads.

We have some members, who probably do not wish to be named, who already pick litter and sweep up gravel carried by flood water and we are very grateful for what they do. If you care about the local environment  and you can help in this way you do not have to join the Committee. However as a Committee member you may be able to get more done. There are usually only 2 Committee meetings a year plus the AGM. 

If you are interested please contact WURA by emailing welcomesanduplandsroads@gmail.com .

You do not have to live in Welcomes or Uplands Road to apply. So if you know of a non member who might be suitable, please let us know.
