Richard’s band played carols in the St Nicholas centre before Christmas to raise money for the Mayor of Sutton’s charities

If your bin collection is missed report it at the end of the day by clicking on the “Report it” button on the Sutton Council website, www.sutton.gov.uk. However leave your bin accessible as there is a fair chance it will be collected a day late.

Real Christmas trees will be collected over the period from January 14 to 26, for “kerbside” collections on the day your brown wheelie bin is collected. Those in blocks of flats should leave the tree by the bins. Or you can take it to the dump at Kimpton Park Way.
