A new Human Resources service, to kick off in the spring, is the most recent addition to the collection of services shared by Sutton and Kingston Councils. In recent years, Sutton and Kingston have been at the forefront of the shared service approach to reduce overheads and relieve the pressure of cuts to frontline services. Police carried out a drugs warrant at an address in Grove Lane, Carshalton, on Wednesday, 23 December.
At around 08:00hrs, officers forced entry to the property and carried out a search of the rooms, loft space and garden. A quantity of suspected cannabis, drugs paraphernalia like scales, a quantity of cash and luxury trainers were seized. The Safer Neighbourhoods officers were supported by Met police dog units. A man, aged 30, and a woman, aged 26, who were both inside the property at the time, were arrested. The man was arrested for cultivation, possession with intent to supply and money laundering. The woman was arrested for cultivation. They are being questioned at a South London Police station. Enquiries are continuing. The officers were responding to information received from the local community. Safer Neighbourhoods Insp Ian Hicks, who led the door entry team, said: "We take all reports about criminal and anti-social behaviour seriously and we hope operations like this one sends out a message that drugs will not be tolerated in Sutton borough."

Sutton Borough showed how generous it can be when 209 presents were pledged for a child in local authority care in just eight days as part of the Met Police Christmas Tree Appeal. This led residents to carry on giving by donating presents to children in the care of other London boroughs. By the gift deadline of Sunday, 13 December Sutton residents had given more than 160 presents to 18 other London boroughs. All the presents are for children up to and including the age of 17 who may not otherwise receive a gift this Christmas. The presents have all been wrapped and are due to be distributed to children in the week running up to Christmas. Acting Police Sergeant Barrie Walton, who has been co-ordinating the appeal in Sutton, said: "Sutton residents have been truly amazing and the response has been beyond our expectations."
