BrickbyBrick the council owned building and development subsidiary. At Homefield House
Old Coulsdon 14 houses are now complete and being handed over to occupants. The block of
flats has been purchased by the council as Key Worker accommodation. The site should be
complete in the near future. Tollers estate site was closed on 24th March while social
distancing measures were introduced. The site has now reopened.
At Lion Green the archaeological work is now complete and BrickbyBrick are in negotiations
to start work in August 2020. We will be asking BrickbyBrick for details of how car parking
will be managed as they construct the new car park. They have said they will produce an
ongoing monthly newsletter when building starts. At the former CALAT centre the local
NHS has failed to obtain funding in this financial year for the proposed Medical centre on the
site. As a result, the other BrickbyBrick projects are on hold. Maureen our secretary has raised
this with the NHS Croydon Clinical Commissioning Group as to why other projects have
obtained funding, but not the Coulsdon Medical centre. We have now been told that with
slowing of Covid-19 staff can be released to progress this over the summer. We will continue
to press them for progress on this important site especially as it affects the other projects that
are important to Coulsdon including the new town centre community centre.
