Sussex design and planning consultancy, G M Moore & Associates has won approval for a partially underground, ultra-modern, low-carbon building in the South Downs National Park.
It is hard to get approval for new buildings in the South Downs National Park but planning officers from Lewes District Council and the South Downs National Park Authority accepted the importance, after being convinced by Glenn Moore & Associates on behalf of their client, of making an architectural statement. Chris Williams of the Liberal Democrats has been elected as the councillor for the Carshalton Central ward following yesterday’s by-election (Thursday 28 July).
Niall Bolger, Chief Executive of Sutton Council and Returning Officer, said: “I would like to thank all the candidates and our staff for their contribution to a successful by-election.” The full results are available at the Sutton Council website by clicking here. A joint operation by Sutton Council Trading Standards officers and Sutton Police has resulted in a large quantity of counterfeit goods being seized from stallholders at a car boot sale in the borough. The goods removed included bags and jewellery purporting to come from such famous brands as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren and Chanel, as well as hundreds of copies of movies on DVDs. A by-election for the Carshalton Central ward will take place today Thursday, 28 July, following the resignation last month by Alan Salter.
The full list of candidates for the by-election is as follows: Ashley Dickenson, Christian People’s Alliance Sarah Gwynn, Labour Ross Hemingway, Green Bill Main-Ian, UK Independence Party Melissa Pearce, Conservative Chris Williams, Liberal Democrats Residents who are eligible in the ward should already have received their polling cards – 8,144 cards were hand delivered between 1 and 24 July.

The winners and runners-up of this year’s Sutton in Bloom competition have received their awards from Deputy Mayor Cllr Nali Patel at a ceremony at Woodcote Garden Centre in Wallington. The best of the entries will represent the borough at the prestigious London in Bloom competition whose expert judges were present at the awards ceremony on Thursday 14 July. Tom Brake MP for Carshalton and Wallington joined MPs from all parties at Age UK’s ‘Age Champion’ charity event. The event in Parliament enabled MPs to discuss issues currently affecting 65 and overs, and how communities can become more inclusive of aging generations in the future. In Carshalton & Wallington 13,828 local residents are aged 65 and higher. Over a third live alone and nearly a quarter are in fuel poverty. 32.6% of these people do not have access to private transport which hampers their chances of an active later life. Age UK Age ‘Champion’s’ campaign seeks to highlight these issues in order to ensure that quality of life is made a priority. Tom Brake MP, after the event said, “I am keen to champion the issues of my elderly constituents in Parliament. Some struggle, even here in Carshalton and Wallington with crippling loneliness. This affects 920 people aged 65 and over, and 12,267 people of the same age group have a long term health problem. We must do more to improve the lives of those who have endured the most.’ Police have released an image of Richard Pope, aged 42, who is wanted in connection with two burglaries at business premises – one in Epsom Road, Morden, and the other in Church Hill Road, Sutton, during June. Pope is believed to be residing in the Sutton area. Police urge Pope to give himself up and appeal to anyone who knows of his whereabouts to report his location to police. Police will arrest and prosecute anyone who is found to be assisting an offender who has committed an offence. This could involve hiding an offender, assisting an offender in avoiding arrest and lying to police to protect the offender from investigation and prosecution. The maximum sentence for assisting an offender can be up to 10 years imprisonment. If you see Pope, call police on 999 immediately. If you have any information about his whereabouts, call Sutton Police station on 101. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

The victim did not require hospital treatment. The match was between Croygas and Kew Association. If you have any information, contact Sutton Police station on 101 quoting ref no: 4005109/16.
