2/2 While we want to improve bus services, we believe these proposals will harm local residents & businesses without tackling the real traffic issues. We’re urging TfL to review our previous suggestions to properly address congestion 👇

2/2 The new formula is flawed and doesn't account for London's high housing costs, underestimating the need in our communities. @suttoncouncil is urging the government to rethink these damaging proposals & work with us to protect our children's futures 👇 https://t.co/pD2cENQ91V

1/2 Deeply concerned by the latest @London_Councils report on children's services funding. The government's proposed reforms could see London's funding cut by £1.5bn - having a detrimental impact on Sutton's vital services

Great to see the hard work of our local GPs praised in a recent @HW_Sutton report. The report also shows 1 in 4 people still struggle to contact their practice. I've joined @Bobby_Dean & @LukeTaylorLD to ask the local NHS how we can improve access to GP’s 👇

The social care system is struggling. Despite councils' best efforts, a decade of underfunding, soaring demand, and rising costs are forcing many to increase council tax and make difficult service cuts.

While the #spendingReview attempts to deal with some of the most pressing issues, all councils, including Sutton, will remain under severe financial pressure.

Underwhelmed by the Government’s Spending review. @SuttonCouncil is helping to drive London’s growth with the £1 billion Cancer Hub investment and further investment in homes and high street regeneration. We’ll continue to stand up for Sutton and build a successful future.
