On the evening of Wednesday, August 7, 2024, the Croydon community gathered on London Road to demonstrate solidarity and protest the recent racist violence perpetrated by the (EDL) in various towns and cities across the UK. Croydon which is known for its diversity and multiculturalism, remains resolute in its stance against racism and violence. The community stands united in rejecting the disruptive actions of EDL supporters within our town of Croydon.
Local authorities advised residents to steer clear of the area and stay alert. The incident has sparked valuable conversations about the underlying causes of such protests and the importance of addressing these issues to prevent future incidents.
The recent events serve as a reminder of the need for ongoing community dialogue and collaboration. Engaging in constructive discussions and community initiatives can help foster understanding and prevent similar incidents in the future.

In a positive turn, James Chiltern and local volunteers came together this morning to clean up London Street, showcasing the strong spirit and unity of Croydon’s residents. Their efforts highlight the community’s resilience and collective commitment to supporting one another during challenging times.
