Deans Blinds Contributes To Croydon Refurb Projects
A wide range of regeneration projects are underway in West Croydon to support businesses, create jobs and build new homes.
This includes £2 million investment in London Road to improve street scenery, build new shop fronts and provide new signage.In addition, refurbishments are being made at the West Croydon Interchange to the junction of Station Road, Poplar Walk and North End. The West Croydon Investment Programme has seen £1.5million spent on six projects specifically to address key social and economic issues in the area.
Many of the shop fronts have now been completed and Deans Blinds and Awnings have been required to use their expertise to enhance the shop fronts with their commercial awnings.
This particular site at the popular Mayday Cafe has received new awnings to two elevations - all powder coated to match the signage and decorated in Deans own graphics facility with the trader logo.
The developments completed or current include:
• A new Enterprise Hub, which has supported 58 businesses, created 44 jobs and enabled 41 start-up businesses.
• The Entrepreneurs of the Future programme, which has supported nearly 100 young entrepreneurs and led to 14 start-ups or people in employment.
• A local employment creation project that has helped 48 people find employment with a further 31 job opportunities identified.
• A Safer Cleaner Project that has provided a dedicated co-coordinators to work with local traders. A total of 40 "safer radios" have been rolled out to share intelligence on safety issues, along with 100 ultraviolet counterfeit bank note detectors provided to businesses free of charge.
• The Root & Branch Project has brought 120 youngsters aged 14-16 through a mentoring programme, culminating in a major reception at City Hall.
• More than 60 "community connectors" created through the Community Connectors project, with Croydon being seen as a leader in Europe in its approach to building community links
Other major projects taking place in the area include a new Harris Academy on the former South London and Maudsley site in London Road, and the redevelopment of West Croydon bus station.
Significant investment from the private sector will see £20million spent on building 99 new homes at the former Bedford House site, and 37 new homes following the redevelopment of the former Half Moon pub site.
