Let’s See Sutton Change
We have a staturory responsibility as Councillors, to work to the benefit of the Borough of Sutton – the recent election resulted in a continued Liberal Democrat majority and leadership of the Council .

However, representation on all the important committees means that Sutton Independent Residents have a voice and the residents of Beddington North will not be sacrificed in silence to the sometimes misguided policies of the ruling party – incinerators and the apparent priveleges afforded their operators over the rights of residents being an example. We haven’t got a magic wand – we can’t make it go away, but we can hold the operators and the Liberal Democrat leadership continually to account.
We do have a short list of 10 ambitions:
- A measurable improvement of air quality in Beddington North and across the Borough.
- Work at the traffic and parking problems that blight the Borough
- Cleanliness of our streets – not just “Bingate” but improved provision of waste / dog poo bins and where they are located. And let’s clean up with some help from business sponsorship.
- Transport – let’s work to get the X26 back at the Plough and get more people on public transport.
- In Beddington we are split by post code – SM and CR – it is one thing that we can’t blame on the Lib Dems but it makes a difference. We can at least ask the question!
- Improved communication from us Councillors to residents – people need to know what is going on.
- Encourage involvement with the Beddington North Neighbourhood Forum and other local groups to let people change their lives rather than have a politician change it for them.
- Work together to make Beddington Park the amenity that the Borough deserves.
- Support lcoal groups fighting to re-open the Charles Cryer and keep the cultural life of our Borough alive.
