About
Your Area find your street here and it gives you some notes on everything
from local councillors to the kerbside recycling schedule. Unbelievably
we are in the Norbury Ward! Yes I know we live in Upper Norwood
and the Croydon Council signposts say Upper Norwood and we used to be Upper
Norwood and our postal address is Upper Norwood, but, well many of us did
object when they re-fudged the boundaries... (end of rant). So:
Our
own Norbury Ward Councillors: Peter Hopson, Shafi Khan and Maggie Mansell
Croydon
council's site on Norwood Grove is strong on history but has no pictures
at all.
LOCAL LINKS
Norwood
Grove Mansion (the White House in Norwood Grove to many of us) is usually
open during National Heritage weekend and this unofficial
Norwood Grove web site has a couple of pages (with pictures).
The
Streatham Society borders us although in Lambeth borough
Also
adjacent to us are The Friends of Streatham Common but temporarily we've
lost their website!
Ryecroft
Road Resident's Association in association with Gibson's Hill Residents
Association falls within our watch.
