The Area
Be mocked mo more, ye dwellers of Croydon. For it has been announced that you shall be metamorphosed into the likeness of Barcelona, no less: hanging gardens, skyparks, arenas and rivers. Even if only a fraction of the council’s multi-billion regeneration plan comes to pass, it will spruce the place up.
