The Beddington and Wallington Local Committee met on 10 June 2025, and heard a community showcase from the Paul Allen project, received a budget update, and an update on housing service activity and investment from the Sutton Housing Partnership. The committee also approved Jackie Godfrey as a Community Representative on behalf of the Friends of Beddington Park, replacing Muriel McIntosh.

Budget Update

The committee received an overview of the council's budgets, including funding sources, expenditure, and key financial risk areas. This is particularly significant given the ongoing discussions around local government funding and the pressures faced by councils across the country.

Sutton Housing Partnership Update

The committee received an update on housing service activity and investment in council properties within the Beddington and Wallington Local Committee boundaries. This is an important topic for residents, as it directly impacts the quality of social housing and the services provided to tenants. The Sutton Housing Partnership (SHP) is an organisation that manages and maintains Sutton Council's housing stock¹.

Community Representative

The committee approved a change in community representation for the Friends of Beddington Park. Jackie Godfrey will replace Muriel McIntosh as the Community Representative. This ensures that the Friends of Beddington Park continue to have a voice at the committee.

Community Showcase

The committee received a presentation from Clare Parish from the Paul Allen project. The project aims to benefit the public by advancing the saving of lives through cardiac arrest awareness, basic lifesaving training, and the provision of defibrillators.

Fire Safety Update

The committee received an update on fire safety. This is a crucial issue, particularly in light of recent events and the ongoing focus on building safety regulations.
