Westow Street: McDonalds

The McDonalds’ application for change of use of the old Living Well Satisfies site in Westow Street was rejected by Croydon Council. The grounds for refusal were increased levels of activity around the site at anti-social hours and the implications for congestion and highway safety of vehicles stopping at the planned McDonald’s.  Police concerns about the increased likelihood of crime and anti-social behaviour were cited specifically.  There is certainly the risk of McDonalds appealing the decision, but this is definitely round one to the local community!

For the past few years St Luke’s Church West Norwood has participated in the Robes Project, a homelessness project that arranges for around 75 rough sleepers in Lambeth and Southwark to have a hot meal, a warm bed and a fortifying breakfast, in a church building, through the winter months from November to mid-January.
