Welcome to glorious Sutton where the local council like to promote continental-style outdoor eating.
One modest size eat in or takeaway restaurant I know pays £10,000 per year council tax. Almost £1,000 to have their rubbish taken away and, most astonishingly, wait for it, £600 for six months to put a few tables and chairs on the pavement outside, where quite often a lorry will park to unload and block their view.
Over to you Sutton Council. Why this outrageous charge for the little time they are there with the weather we have?
