South Norwood is a ward in the London Borough of Croydon in the United Kingdom. It covers most of the district of South Norwood. The ward received major boundary changes following Croydon's boundary review.[2] The most recent election to the ward was in the 2021 by-election. The first election held under the new boundaries was the 2018 Croydon Council election.[3]

History[]

2021 by-elections[]

On 6 May 2021, 5 by-elections were held in Croydon following the resignation of 5 councillors across New Addington North, South Norwood, Kenley, Park Hill and Whitgift and Woodside.[4]

Regina Road[]

On 22 March 2021, ITV News released an article documenting the poor conditions of Regina Road flats showing images of the "appalling and dangerous conditions" caused by a water leak that had been present since at least 2017.[5] An independent investigation was put forward to resolve the problems.[6]
