A road marking at the junction of Mollison Drive and Stafford Road said 'look right' but points left, causing confusion for drivers and pedestrians.

Residents expressed frustration over disturbances from loud music and barking dogs since the arrival of at least eight caravans on Wrythe Green. Local resident Jeff noted music played until 10pm and continued the next day, contributing to local upset as this situation has not occurred in years. Children’s toys and rubbish now litter the green, and Jeff expressed concerns about propane gas canisters left exposed, posing a fire risk. Sutton Council stated the removal could take up to two weeks, further aggravating the local community as they worry about cleanup costs.

The ongoing changes to housing and community spaces across Sutton Borough reflect a diverse range of planning applications, aiming to enhance residential options and architectural layouts.

This week's applications to Sutton Council include several proposals for residential alterations, specifically regarding single-storey extensions and changes for small House in Multiple Occupation (HMOs).

The sale of the Grade II-listed Old Rectory and The Russettings to a developer associated with a derelict pub raises concerns about commitment to conservation.

I'm very unhappy with the council's plans to knock down the St Nicholas House which is a popular part of Sutton. The council ate single handedly changing the face of Sutton, how can this be done by a local council and not care about how residents feel about their area. Please do not knock down this centre, please halt with your numerous new builds which are ruining Sutton.

Since the implementation of the consultation on the speed limits, many residents feel that lowering the limit to 20mph may actually lead to increased frustration and congestion on the roads. Concerns have been raised that while the council's intention is to increase safety, the reality may be more complex as local drivers accustomed to the existing limits may struggle with the changes.
