Sutton Council have been asking residents for their views on parking, as part of a borough-wide consultation. In the first stage of the consultation, held over a year ago, many residents in The Wrythe indicated that there was a parking problem in their area, and that they were open to the idea of introducing parking controls.

Hackbridge residents have told us about increased parking problems for many years. There will be roughly 1,000 more properties in Hackbridge once the current developments are
complete, with national policy restricting the additional parking that can be provided alongside them. With so much development on-going, and a Zone 4 train station in the area, it is important that we act now to protect resident parking.

During the last few weeks, we have been calling on residents affected by the Council’s parking proposals to make sure we fully understand your views. The results of the Council’s consultation have now been published on their website here, together with proposals for the next stage.

The Liberal Democrats have topped the poll in Sutton and across London, securing three MEPs in the London region, in a clear sign that people are backing Liberal Democrat calls for an exit from Brexit and a final say on the government’s deal. 

The election saw the Conservatives fall to 4th place in the borough and remain parties surge.

Sutton Council are consulting about how to solve parking problems in the borough.

In extraordinary scenes at the last full Council, Tory councillors refused to support their own government policy that seeks to end unfair evictions.

After significant pressure from campaign groups including Shelter and Generation Rent, ministers recently announced plans to end ‘no fault’ evictions from privately rented homes.

Secretary of State for Education, Damian Hinds, has told Sutton schools they can deal with funding problems by cutting their energy bills.

The comment follows a letter from the Leader of the Council to the Government over the crisis in funding for Sutton schools.  Sutton councillors discussed the issue at a meeting in January and agreed to urge the Government to take drastic action to increase funding for schools.
