Reminder – Declaration of Interests

Members should consider the following interests and whether they have any they should declare. Disclosable Pecuniary Interests Where you have a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest in any business of the Authority at this meeting and you have either declared it beforehand in the Register of Members’ Interests or to the Monitoring Officer for entry in the Register you must state at this meeting that you have such an interest and then withdraw from the room or chamber where the meeting is being held whilst that business is considered. Where you have a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest in any business of the Authority at this meeting and have not previously declared it you must declare the nature of that interest at this meeting and then withdraw from the room or chamber where the meeting is being held whilst that business is considered.

Other Pecuniary and Non-Pecuniary Interests Where you have any other pecuniary or non-pecuniary interest in any business at this meeting you must declare that interest, but may continue to speak and vote on the matter. However, if the interest is one which a member of the public, with knowledge of the relevant facts, would reasonably regard as so significant that it is likely to prejudice your judgement of the public interest then you should declare the interest and withdraw from the room or chamber where the meeting is being held whilst that business is considered. Further information on these matters can be found in the Council's Code of Conduct and Constitution.

as an accurate record and signed by the Chair.

activities in the local wards, introducing himself to the local committee.

The update covered:

The Metropolitan Police’s future plans under a borough-command model.

A commitment to two dedicated Ward officers and one PCSO.

Changes to policing Sutton Town Centre with wider coverage.

Dedicated Ward Officers at local parade sites.

Speeding issues near St Philomena’s School and associated enforcement.



20 June 2017

2

Engagement with youths and parents, visiting local schools.

John Faulkner, Woodstock Road Residents’ Association enquired as to Crosspoint

House. The Sergeant confirmed there were no plans to shut the site down.

Carl Brown, Friends of Oaks Park, raised a question with regards to cuts to the

Metropolitan Police and the impact on local resources. The Sergeant confirmed that

cuts do have to be made but that commitments had been made to increase policing

in Safer Neighbourhoods.

Councillor Moira Butt welcomed the new Sergeant but regretted the multiple

changes in succession to the Safer Neighbourhood Team representation at local

committee.

The Councillor further enquired as to whether services would be shared with St

Helier. The Sergeant further elaborated on the potential borough-command model

but reiterated that plans were not yet finalised.

Ray Liffen, Carshalton on the Hill Residents’ Association, asked where the Sergeant

was based (Sutton Police Station) so that he could share the association newsletter

on a regular basis.

Councillor Amy Haldane expressed her hesitation with regards to the proposed

Basic Command Unit (BCU) and encouraged residents to get in touch with their local

Neighbourhood Forums. A local Clockhouse resident also spoke of his displeasure

at the potential borough-command model.

Ian Price, Team Leader Strategy & Commissioning - Highways & Transport, was

interested to hear of the speeding enforcement action and offered to collaborate in

this respect.

6. NEW WASTE & RECYCLE SERVICE

Mark Dalzell, Head of Parks, Biodiversity and Street Cleansing, and Veolia General

Manager Scott Edgell invited questions on the new waste and recycling service.

Janice Funnell, Alma and Shorts Road Residents’ Group, lamented the

implementation of the service and stated that this was unacceptable on Veolia’s part.

The Veolia General Manager apologised to residents and Councillors, elaborating on

the transition arrangements, particularly with regard to staffing and lost local

knowledge. The Community Representative regretted the lack of public apology from

Veolia.

Page 4Agenda Item 4


20 June 2017

The Chair, Councillor Hamish Pollock, spoke of the bad service in certain types of

roads, such as cul-de-sacs. The Veolia manager spoke of the narrow-access streets

and admitted that there were issues outstanding to resolve.

Carl Brown, Friends of Oaks Park, stated that many of the problems encountered

could have been foreseen, particularly as the service is provided in neighbouring

boroughs. The Community Representative asked if the Council would be penalising

Veolia for the poor performance of the contract. The Head of Parks, Biodiversity and

Street Cleansing, explained that deductions were not in place for the first three

months of implementation, and were only contractually possible from the 1 July

2017. It was added that nonetheless significant additional investment had been

undertaken by Veolia.

Arthur Spirling, Carshalton Fields Residents’ Association, asked for further detail on

the improved recycling rates mentioned. The Veolia representative cited that

recycling had already increased by approximately 10% to the ‘high forties’ and a

reduction in general waste had been seen. In response to a request for firm figures,

the Chair explained that this would likely be reported to the Autumn Environment &

Neighbourhood Committee and could be brought to the October local committee.

Councillor Moira Butt expressed her thanks to the complaints team at Veolia but

complained at the lack of feedback following investigation, with the same problems

being reported for the same households on multiple occasions. Councillors asked

that bins be returned appropriately after being emptied. The Veolia representative

acknowledged repeat issues were occurring and spoke of the resources being

applied to resolve them.

A representative of Queen Mary’s Park Residents Association gave positive

feedback in regards to recent service but raised concerns in relation to the Kimpton

Park reuse and recycling centre.

Councillor Chris Williams lamented that the effect of poor service on residents had

been neglected by Veolia. The Councillor suggested a letter of apology or goodwill

gesture might be appropriate with regards to extreme cases. The Veolia

representative responded that he was open to such suggestions.

7. PUBLIC REALM PROJECTS AND NEIGHBOURHOOD GRANTS UPDATE

Claire Smith, Locality Lead Officer, presented the public realm projects and

neighbourhood grants update, inviting residents to apply for outstanding funds.

The Chair, Councillor Hamish Pollock, invited residents to an upcoming ‘Carshalton-

on-Sea’ event, due to take place on 8-9 July 2017, which had received a

neighbourhood grant.

House facilities. The Senior Valuer spoke of a continued search for such buildings

and that such proposals would always be borne in mind.

Susan Kelsall, Carshalton Old Rectory Association, expressed the Association’s will

to be involved in any plans for this particular building and the protection of its

heritage. The Senior Valuer appreciated the Association’s interest and involvement.

Janice Funnell, Alma and Shorts Road Residents’ Group, requested similar contact

from the Senior Valuer should plans fall through for The Old Rectory.

Arthur Spirling, Carshalton Fields Residents’ Association, enquired as to the future

of the Charles Cryer Theatre. The Investment & Development Manager explained

that she was not directly involved but that proposals were currently under

consideration for presentation to Members.

John Freeman, Friends of the Grove, thanked the Senior Valuer for her ongoing

communications with regards to the future of The Grove House. The Community

Representative expressed concerns about security of residential buildings within the

park and the Senior Valuer responded that strict measures would be put in place.

Councillor Amy Haldane asked as to responsibility for insurance and building

improvements with regards to Hillcrest Halls. The Investment & Development

Manager elaborated on the arrangements in place with regards to rent and

committed to follow this up after the meeting.

Brian Brockwell, Westmead Allotment and Garden Association, enquired as to

Background

Identifying the Issues• Sutton Residents Survey 2015 – only 46% satisfied with parking

– Parking 4th highest important factor in making somewhere a good place to live (after level of crime, affordable decent housing and health services).

• Parking Engagement at Local Committees, Late 2015/early 2016. (Attractors/generators of demand, local parking pressures identified)

•Customer Contact - Correspondence, Telephone Calls, Complaints, Compliments, Freedom of Information Requests etc.•Desktop Data Analysis - Personal Injury Accident Data Analysis

Strategic Approach

BackgroundTraditional Approach

•High numbers of requests for minor parking schemes

•Parking requests dealt with on an unstructured ad hoc basis

•Inadequate resources – No identified funding, or dedicated team

•No coordinated or ‘joined-up’ working between Local Committees

•Parking Strategy & Policy 2016 – 2021 approved by the Environment & Neighbourhood Committee on 15/09/2016

•Key Features of Policy:- CO2 emissions-based Residents Permits linked to new charges- Carer, Parent and Business Permits included- Free 50 hours Visitor Permits with option to buy additional hours- Enforcement approach agreed- 5 Year Delivery Plan for parking management schemes
