Looking ahead, we are delivering plans for new homes, new schools and the London Cancer Hub. The council is also seen as a driving force within the South London Partnership of five south west London boroughs focused on strategic growth, regeneration and investment.

We are Ambitious for Sutton and have a vision for the kind of place we want Sutton to be. We have a Corporate Plan which sets out our priorities until 2023.

  • Leading council wide capital projects to ensure they are effectively delivered.

Some of our key assets include the delivery of a world class cancer hub (The London Cancer Hub) in the south of the Borough, as well as our Town Centre Master Plan delivery. Both involve working collaboratively with pan-London partners to deliver housing, jobs and growth.
