London Borough of Croydon

With a workforce of about 10,500 staff, including teachers in schools, Croydon Council is the largest employer in the borough. Spending over £900 million per year, the council makes a significant contribution to the local economy.

How the council is funded:

Funding is provided in two main ways. About two thirds of the money comes from central Government, including a share of business rates, and the rest comes mainly from council tax, which is set locally. A small proportion comes from other income including parking permits and leisure facility fees. Visit our annual financial accounts webpage to find out more.

The council provides a large number of services for local people, businesses and visitors to the borough, including services for children and adults, and environmental, cultural, sports, housing, planning and benefits services.
