Council is constructing a new Croydon Town Square, creating a new vibrant open space in the heart of Croydon.
Once completed, the project will provide great benefits to the area and will better connect Main Street to Croydon Station and Bus Interchange – building on the work of the recent Croydon Connects Project.
