The Hackbridge, St Helier and The Wrythe Local Committee was scheduled to discuss a range of community initiatives and council programmes. Key topics included an update on a fall prevention project for older residents, a review of the Highways and Transport Overview, and the allocation of funds through the Neighbourhood Fund.

Community Showcase

The meeting was scheduled to include a Community Showcase where updates were to be provided by local community groups. Specifically, the Sutton Bengali Association and XPN Dance Community were expected to present on their work and outline ways for residents to get involved.

Fall Free Future Project

An update was scheduled to be given on the Fall Free Future project, a free community initiative in Sutton aimed at preventing falls among residents aged 65 and over. Joseph Jeffers, Chief Executive Officer of Advice, Skills, Knowledge and Information (ASKI), was expected to present this update.

Highways and Transport Overview and TfL Programme

The committee was scheduled to receive an overview of highways and transport matters, including the Transport for London (TfL) programme for the 2027/28 period.

Neighbourhood Fund

An update was planned regarding applications received for the Neighbourhood Fund within the Hackbridge, St Helier and The Wrythe Local Committee area. This fund is designed to support local projects, with 15% of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) ringfenced for such initiatives. Previous discussions on the Neighbourhood Fund, as noted in the minutes from the 2 July 2026 meeting, highlighted that groups applying for funding needed to have an organisational bank account rather than a personal one, and that only new projects could be funded.

Public Questions

A session was scheduled to allow members of the public to raise questions about local issues. Questions were to be submitted in advance via the council's website, with responses provided either before or after the meeting depending on submission timing. Any questions asked, along with the name and organisation of the questioner, were to be published and included in the meeting minutes.

Previous Meeting Minutes and Urgent Business

The committee was scheduled to approve the minutes of the previous meeting held on 2 July 2026. Additionally, there was an agenda item to consider any urgent business that the Chair, Councillor Colin Stears, deemed necessary to address due to special circumstances, in accordance with Section 100B(4) of the Local Government Act 1972.

The meeting was scheduled to take place at the Horizon Church, Assembly Walk, Carshalton SM5 1JH.
