The notorious “band stand” of Sutton made infamous by the groups of teens found hanging about at it at every spare moment has finally been knocked down to make way for a new and improved bandstand, ready to provide a real music venue that will hopefully be blooming with artists every weekends for shoppers to enjoy.

It is nice to see Sutton finally making some positive changes to the highstreet in which so many of us spend our well deserved weekends. Making Sutton high street a more friendly and positive place to shop will make a big difference to the community around us. Hopefully the new bandstand will bring life to the high street even on those gloomy grey days in the winter so all can enjoy the charming town of Sutton.
