Sixteen - year - old Jack Coombes was playing football at his school in Sutton before he would discover an injury to his spine that would cause life changing damage. Playing to the end of the game Jack left the field without pain and continued his day as normal. It wasn’t until 2 hours later that he headed for hospital, still unaware of the full extent of his injury. Two Wallington PCs used their stop and search powers on a man in Bute Road on Thursday, 4 February at recently. He was found in possession of a number of bank cards, car keys and driving licences as well as a drill, torch and screwdriver. The man was arrested. Enquiries found he was wanted by police in Croydon for a total of 11 offences.
Carshalton and Wallington MP, Tom Brake was on hand to congratulate Hanna Becket, winner of the competition to design the logo for the Blossoming Rose street market. Tom presented Hanna, a pupil at Greenshaw School, with a certificate at the opening in Rosehill of the re-launched market on Wednesday. Tom has welcomed the re-establishment of the Blossoming Rose Market, a vibrant place for local business and entrepreneurship. The market successfully raised £25,000 in order to return it to its former glory. With the help of Opportunity Sutton and the Rosehill Traders’ Association, the Blossoming Rose Market will operate weekly initially. The market will create jobs and attract business to the area. Tom said, “I am happy to see the Blossoming Rose market re-open. It will not only bring more business and prosperity to the area, but it will also serve as a source of inspiration for residents to turn their hobbies and passions into thriving businesses. The Blossoming Rose market is a great opportunity to bring the community together.” Councillor Jean Crossby said, “I am pleased that we were able to restore the Blossoming Rose market and give our residents an opportunity to start a business. I am excited to watch Rosehill grow and become a bustling centre for small businesses and diversity.” Do you fancy rambling around Beddington Park? How about learning to grow your own fruit

Beddington North Neighbourhood Forum Agenda for Meeting Monday 22 February 2016 7.00-8.30pm Cricket for Change, The Cricket Centre, Plough Lane, Wallington, Surrey SM6 8JQ Welcome and Introductions and Apologies for Absence Previous Minutes Beddington Farmlands 3 Bridges at Hackbride Viridor Conservation Area Management Committee Richmond Green Update Beddington Lane / Hilliers Lane Newsletter Neighbourhood Planning Support AGM Any Other Business / Dates of Future Meetings More than 500 signatures have already been received on a petition to stop demolition of the Hackbridge railway bridges - but the community wants as many people as possible to support their campaign.
"The 100 Acre and Irrigation bridges over the railway north of Hackbridge have been earmarked for demolition in May by Network Rail. This is despite the key role both these Victorian bridges can play in providing public access to the newly restored Beddington Farmlands when it opens. We understand Network Rail's assessment shows it would be less expensive to maintain the bridges than demolish them," said a statement on the wesbite. "This is short term thinking. It risks squandering the vast environmental opportunity that this area of green space - three times the size of Hyde Park - presents right at the heart of the Wandle Valley Regional Park. "The emerging Neighbourhood Plan being prepared by the Hackbridge community identifies the bridges as a "vital link with the past and also a necessary link to the future". It is "concerned to ensure than none of the bridges are demolished and all are opened up for public use". "We call on Network Rail to call off the bridges demolition and allow Wandle Valley Regional Park Trust and Sutton Council to find a long term solution which secures their role in providing public access to Beddington Farmlands." Details To sign the petiton go to BRIDGES If you want to invest in the community of Sutton then Sutton Community Farm is currently offering anyone to be a community shareholder.
