Croydon Council is translating its housing policy to improve resident engagement and accessibility.

Croydon Council is set to translate its Housing Allocation Policy into multiple community languages to ensure accessibility and transparency for all residents. This decision, made in November 2025, followed a recommendation from the Homes Sub-Committee in September 2025, which was presented for approval to the Scrutiny & Overview Committee.

The broader concept of engagement involves involving stakeholders in decision-making processes or activities, such as ensuring accessibility to information. Looking ahead, the Mayor and Cabinet in Lewisham are scheduled to discuss engagement at their meeting in October 2026.
