It’s after the Council secured the grant from the government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
The projects that will receive the cash are those which will support businesses by attracting people to the district centres.
The five areas to benefit are West Croydon (London Road), New Addington, Thornton Heath, Selsdon and Purley.
In New Addington, the market square stage and boundary walls in Central Parade will be refurbished to support community events.
In Thornton Heath, a new learning garden will be created in Collier’s Water Lane, where school children can learn about food growth.
