Bay Watch
The council have promised residents that there will be lots more parking bays put into the streets. Please mail us if you see any new parking bays - or indeed any parking bays disappearing because of lowered pavements or bays converted to disabled only.
I have noticed in Temple Road that they have spray marked the kerb to move one of the restriction sign post about 5 ft further into temple road. Naturally this will mean the double yellow lines moving a further 5ft into the road as well making the single yellow line gap to the first parking bay not quite big enough to park in. So although we have not lost a designated Parking Space one less car can be parked in Temple Road after 5pm.

Pittock Reunion
For those of the family looking for news on this years Pittock Reunion, I will be putting a new section up on the site shortly especially for this years event in June. Hopefully Mum and Dad will provide some copy for me to use although the newsletter they sent out a couple of weeks ago may provide some good material.

Winter is upon us
We have not had any snow or ice yet and only a very little frost. The garden is getting ready for a cold Jan and Feb. I have moved a few delicate plants under cover and Paula has been planting some evergreen clematis up near the eldar. The MYOB has grown very well during the latter part of 2002 and the Acer over the waterfall put some new shoots out so that has rooted well.

Problems getting worse
The Central Zone restrictions are now in force and we immediately noticed a rise in the number of cars - most without permits - parking in our street. This is people in the Central zone being displaced. It's not fair on any of us. This will hit Croydon’s restaurants and so people will tend to go out for meals in other places. We have already noticed a brand new bistro bar in Purley high street - a short walk from Councillors Ryan’s house...

Happy New Year to everyone
Hopefully this year will bring lots of happiness to everyone. We started off in good style by attending Mike and Nancy’s 1950's News Years Eve cocktail party which was great fun - thanks you very much Mike and Nancy! I still think there was some girlie shenanigans with the charades but they did beat us square and fair. Happy New Year to you all
