Croydon Mayor Jason Perry has named his new Cabinet for his second term and set out a first-100-days programme focused on cleaner streets, enforcement and public services across the borough.
The Cabinet was presented at Annual Council on Wednesday, 27 May, where Perry said the administration would continue work on council finances, local pride and visible action in neighbourhoods.
New Cabinet roles at Croydon Council
Councillor Lynne Hale has been appointed Statutory Deputy Executive Mayor and Cabinet Member for Homes. Councillor Jason Cummings becomes Deputy Executive Mayor and Cabinet Member for Finance.
The wider Croydon Cabinet includes Yvette Hopley for Health and Adult Social Care, Ola Kolade for Communities, Safety and Justice, Robert Ward for Parks and Culture, Andy Stranack for Children and Young People, Alasdair Stewart for Streets and Enforcement, and Jeet Bains for Planning and Regulatory Services.
Perry will directly oversee regeneration and inward investment, with the council saying £1.2bn has been secured over the past four years. For earlier context on the second term priorities, see Beehive Web’s report on Jason Perry’s safer streets and finance pledges.
First 100 days focused on enforcement
The Mayor said the council would keep a zero-tolerance approach to fly-tipping, graffiti, antisocial behaviour, abandoned vehicles and environmental crime. Croydon Council said 321 Fixed Penalty Notices for fly-tipping were issued between April 2025 and March 2026.
The council also said 15 mobile CCTV cameras have been deployed at fly-tipping and antisocial behaviour hotspots, and that 90% of fly-tips are now cleared within 24 hours.
Uniformed patrols and Parkguard teams are expected to increase visibility on housing estates and in town centres. A new zero-tolerance website and rogues’ gallery is also planned, allowing residents to report offenders and identify those accused of damaging the borough.
Street services and local facilities
Perry said contractors Veolia and FM Conway had been pressed to improve waste collection, street cleaning, highways maintenance and the wider public realm.
Measures listed by the council include a new Motorists’ Forum, dedicated pothole patrols, expanded recycling services, more mobile recycling centres, Croydon in Bloom and the return of the blitz clean programme. The council said it would also continue supporting festivals, events and local screen production through the CRO-llywood initiative.
“Now is the time for action. That is exactly what the first 100 days of this new term are about — hitting the ground running and acting on what residents have told us matters most,” Perry said.
