Crystal Palace Town Team Initiative

Introduction

We are inviting local businesses, residents and community stakeholders to get involved with forming a Crystal Palace Town Team. This would be a voluntary group working to represent our town centre and focus on priorities that support the needs of the community.

We'd like to understand what you, the local community, think the issues and priorities are for Crystal Palace.

This questionnaire follows an online meeting held in 2020.

The Crystal Palace Town Team would aim to promote and improve the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of the neighbourhood area of Crystal Palace / Upper Norwood. The Town team would act as a collective voice of the community, helping to bring in funding and deliver agreed objectives.

Our target is that the Crystal Palace Town Team would be initiated in 2022, made up of an elected and inclusive group of local volunteers. We invite you to get involved.

Thank you for agreeing to take part.
