Cabinet Member for Streets and Environment
Croydon Council is upgrading streetlights to LED technology, while also addressing fly-tipping enforcement.
Croydon Council planned to upgrade its streetlights to LED technology in August 2026, a development reported to the Croydon & Lewisham Street Lighting Joint Committee in November 2025. This initiative, which both Croydon and Lewisham councils agreed to fund, aimed to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency across the borough.
The Cabinet Member for Streets and Environment oversees efforts to address issues such as fly-tipping. In July 2025, Croydon Council increased fines for fly-tipping to £1,000, a decision announced during a council meeting to support a key Mayoral Priority for public spaces.
