Sutton features strongly, with Sutton Vision receiving the King’s Award for Voluntary Service, Sutton Council consulting on its draft Local Plan, and Everyone Active investing in leisure centres including Cheam, Westcroft, the Phoenix Centre and David Weir Leisure Centre.
Other community news includes calls from Rebecca Paul MP and the Fire Brigades Union to protect Banstead fire cover, Epsom and Ewell Tree Advisory Board’s campaign to safeguard street trees, Surrey County Council’s bus survey, and local human-interest and arts stories ranging from Deborah Impiazi’s blind ballroom dancing success with Step Change Studios to summer performances by Epsom and Ewell Silver Band and The Horton Choir.
