Croydon Council developments

Croydon Council acts as the governing body for the London Borough of Croydon, overseeing a workforce of approximately 6,121 staff including those in schools. The Council’s remit spans a wide range of public services—from housing and planning to environmental health, libraries, leisure and culture — structured under the Executive, Committees and Scrutiny arrangements.

The governance framework of Croydon Council is structured around the Executive (Leader and Cabinet), scrutiny committees and regulatory bodies overseeing standards of conduct, planning and utility liaison. Funding for the organisation is drawn mainly from central Government allocations, business rates and council tax — enabling the Council to maintain and deliver core services for residents, businesses and visitors.
