Croydon is famous for a number of things. Stormzy, the 50p building, and of course being the former home to one of the UK’s first international airports. With Croydon Airport’s closure in 1959, the then Surrey council were left with acres of empty runway space to fill on the now Purley Way. In 1967, that space was eventually filled by the first tenants of the Roundshaw Estate. Now sitting in the borough of Sutton , Roundshaw is home to 10,000 residents on the outskirts of Wallington and South Croydon . The brutalist high rise flats and anti-social behaviour that characterised the area prior to its regeneration in 2000 meant its residents often had to wrestle with the estate's bad reputation. However, Roundshaw is home to a proud community who take issue with this reputation and instead say that living there has improved their lives and compare it to life on Coronation Street. The Roundshaw Community Network (RCN) is the main group behind the rise in Roundshaw pride, and one of ...

A strike among refuse workers in Newham has been called off after a pay deal was reached. Members of the Unite union were due to walk out between September 25 and October 22, but now lower paid staff across the whole council will receive an extra £750 payment. Originally 105 refuse workers from Newham rejected the national pay offer of a flat rate increase of £1,925. Union members secured improved terms and conditions on top of the Local Government Association national pay deal, with the £750 being given to all workers on grades one to three.

A family are furious with Tesco as they found a large shard of hard plastic in the Meal Deal pasta that they bought for their disabled daughter. When they went back into the store to talk to them about the problem the stress of the whole situation at the lack of help they could provide caused the mother to have three seizures. The family have said since that Tesco has shown a distinct lack of care and are 'disappointed' with their responses. On September 12, Mike Packwood, 51, bought his daughter a Tesco Cheese and Tomato Pasta pot from the meal deal section at Tesco Extra, Cardington Road, Bedford. His daughter has long-term special educational needs and disabilities and thus enjoys the same meal every time. Halfway through the daughter's meal she became very distressed and removed what turned out to be a large piece of hard plastic from her mouth.
