This initiative is part of a £30 million investment by the council to enhance Croydon’s town centre, which includes public realm improvements and events to attract visitors. The crossing is anticipated to facilitate increased foot traffic to local businesses, though concerns about accessibility during construction have been raised by residents. Completion is expected by Christmas 2025.
