Why it may matter locally
Although the events are held in central Croydon rather than Norbury, they are borough-wide civic occasions and may be of interest to Norbury residents, community groups and families marking national days or public-service commemorations.
Anyone planning to attend should check transport before travelling. From Norbury, central Croydon can usually be reached by local bus and rail connections, but journey times vary.
