There have already been 43 cases of measles in Croydon this year

Since the beginning of this year there have been 43 confirmed cases of measles in Croydon. Following an increase in cases across Europe the council is urging people to get their children vaccinated against the highly infectious disease. Croydon Council is also calling on young people heading off to university to check they have been vaccinated. Public Health England has confirmed there have been 43 cases of laboratory confirmed cases in the borough and a total 807 in England. The most cases were reported in London with 281. A Croydon Council spokesman said: “We are aware about the increased numbers of measles across Europe and have been working closely with schools, parents and carers and other partners over the last six months  to promote the benefits of vaccination. “Measles is a highly infectious but easily preventable disease. The measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine is the safest way to protect against measles. For the best protection from measles people need two doses of the safe and effective vaccine. “If your child has not had two doses of the MMR vaccine you can contact your GP surgery or practice nurse to get an appointment. You can check with your GP surgery if you are not sure whether they have had two doses.” Anyone who is not sure if they are vaccinated can check with their GP. In a bid to curb the spread of the infection Croydon Council is calling on young people getting ready to head of to university next month to check whether they have been vaccinated.

Peter Gunn has been a chief executive at BH Live since 2010 with the company announced as the operator of Fairfield Halls by the council in April last year. The theatre in Park Lane has been closed since July 2016 to undergo a £30 million revamp. A council spokeswoman Mr Gunn’s departure will not affect next the opening next spring. “We have been aware for some time that Peter would be leaving BH Live next year – it has been fantastic working with him and we wish him all the best for the future,” said the spokeswoman. “Peter has played a key role in developing Croydon’s partnership with BH Live and are confident that we have a strong team in place to see the project through to completion.” BH Live which runs as a not-for-profit has started the process to look for a successor. Mr Gunn said: “After eight years in the organisation, starting with its formation in 2010, I felt the time was right to begin discussions about my succession. “I look forward to continuing to work with the great team at BH Live and welcoming my successor when they are appointed next year.” The new look Fairfield Halls was originally set to reopen last month but was pushed back to 2019 earlier this year. After the building is renovated BH Live is expected to put on a programme of more than 800 performances and 400 community-based activities.
