Sutton Scene celebrates the festive season with a special four-page feature, which includes a focus on religious celebrations, cutting crime at Christmas and all our holiday timetables – from office opening times to the dates for bin collections.

Deciding the annual budget is one of the most challenging decisions the council has to make – and we want your views on how this money will be allocated.

Our successful £5m sustainable transport bid promises many new green initiatives, with travel schemes and environmentally friendly plans for you to make the most of.

We really appreciate all the feedback you have sent us with your views on Sutton Scene. We will be taking a close look at these in the next few weeks and will announce the winner of our Debenham’s vouchers in the February/March edition.

Our What’s On section shows the wealth of options you can enjoy during your holidays – and you might even find a new hobby for the New Year.

My warmest wishes for Christmas – and I hope 2007 brings you good fortune.

Councillor Sean Brennan
Leader of Sutton Council
