Labour: fighting for you across Croydon
Supermarket giants Tesco and Morrison’s are both seeking planning permission to build new super stores on the Purley Way and Croydon South Labour is seeking your views.
Building two new supermarkets will clearly provide new shopping outlets and also create new jobs in Waddon. However, the Fiveways junction is one of the busiest and most polluted road junctions in South London. Pollution levels are already in excess of the Government standards. Traffic is jammed up all day and buses are severely delayed.
The proposed supermarkets would rely on car usage and therefore increase the number of cars on the A23 and other local roads by up to 30 per cent.
