A competition for ideas to regenerate and invigorate Sutton communities has been launched.

Sutton Council wants people to tell it how they would like to spend £2,000 in their area.

The Sutton Speaks campaign will involve a debate and live public vote in Sutton town centre on Sunday July 12.

The debate will begin at 1pm with the winner announced at 2pm.

Sutton Council’s deputy leader Councillor Ruth Dombey said: “Your ideas matter to us. So if you want to change something, tell us.”

The competition is run as part of the annual Take Part, Take Pride festival which runs from Monday July 6 to Sunday July 12.

To take part email takeparttakepride@sutton.gov.uk or call 020 8770 4391.
