Multi-million pound plans to redevelop the forefront of a south London train station have been criticised by residents for delivering "next to nothing".
The unveiling of East Croydon’s bus shelters with new signposts, lighting and public seating marked the completion of a £5.4 million project by the council and Transport for London to improve the train station’s forefront. But some residents criticised the renovation, complaining the shelters look the same as before and do not solve traffic issues.
The finished project was also unveiled a month later than planned, with only a single electronic display board installed at the bus shelters - the same as previously. Croydon council has defended the renovation as improving the environment for business and shops in the borough's main gateway.
