Bradmore Green, Broad Green, Sanderstead, Shirley and South Norwood libraries have been earmarked for closure by Croydon Council.
Are YOU concerned about the five libraries under threat and the wider impact this will have on our much valued and well-used public library service in Croydon?

The Shirley Scarecrow Festival is a fun event all can take part in. The theme is TV Shows. See if you can guess which shows and TV characters you can spot on your walk.
If you’d like to just enjoy the scenes rather than participate then please feel free to donate on the just giving page. All monies go to Demelza Hospice Care for Children.

Have fun on the trail and take lots of pictures!
This coming Sunday, August 2nd, over 70 houses in and around Shirley will be hosting stalls in their front gardens on the first ever Shirley Jumble Trail.
Items on sale will be very varied and include clothes, toys and games, bags, books, bric a brac, plants etc
Some houses are supporting charities like Demelza Childrens’ Hospice or local Spring Park Girlguiding – others are raising money for themselves.
All are welcome to wander around between 10am and 3pm to see what bargains they can find – and they could view the Shirley Way Bears at the same time.
To find out where the stalls will be click here.
The trail is the idea of local residents Sandra Pound and Natalie La who floated it on the local Facebook Shirley Residents group page and were amazed at the response.
Many thanks for your help!
