Norbury’s Green Lane shopping parade and St Helens Green are among the areas due to benefit from Croydon Council’s district-centre regeneration programme.
The council said the Norbury work is part of a £600,000 package funded by the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund, covering Norbury, Addiscombe, South Croydon and Coulsdon. In its published update, the council said Norbury’s improvements focus on the Green Lane shopping parade and St Helens Green, with planned resurfacing works and greening to improve the look and feel of the area.
The programme is intended to support district centres, local businesses and public spaces. For Norbury residents, the practical points to watch are likely to be the timing of any works, access to shops during resurfacing, and whether new planting or greening is maintained after installation.
What has been confirmed
- Area named: Green Lane shopping parade and St Helens Green in Norbury.
- Type of work: resurfacing and greening, according to Croydon Council’s update.
- Funding route: the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, as part of a borough-wide district-centre programme.

How to keep track
Residents and traders can follow council updates through Croydon Council’s published regeneration update and check for any linked highways or street works notices if resurfacing dates are confirmed.
The council has described the projects as being designed alongside engagement with local communities. Anyone with a direct interest in the parade may want to keep records of questions about access, delivery times, disabled access, waste collections and planting maintenance so they can raise them clearly if further engagement is offered.
The Gazette will avoid treating the scheme as complete until the works have been publicly confirmed as delivered.
