Concerns raised over social housing in Croydon, despite council’s plan to transform services Croydon residents have faced issues such as mould in housing. Pic: Fleur The Croydon community have criticised the quality of local social housing, despite a recent council pledge to improve the borough’s housing services. Their comments followed an ITV investigation in March, which showed poor living conditions for some Croydon tenants and alleged that the council was not doing enough to support these residents. The report led the council to commission an independent investigation into Croydon’s housing standards. Khadidia Camara, 39, a former resident of Gilroy Court in Thornton Heath, said she believed that the council had failed in its duty of care.
