Inspiring Local Giving In Sutton Local Giving is an exciting campaign spreading across London – it aims to bring everyone living and working in a borough together to tackle the key local issues and improve lives across their community. The Sutton Community Fund (managed by Sutton Centre for the Voluntary Sector and funded by Sutton Council) has secured funding to create a Local Giving campaign in Sutton and we would like businesses and local people to get involved and shape this innovative project. How Can We Make This Happen? Build on the fantastic tradition of giving in Sutton with over 2000 new volunteers recruited each year, and over 300 charities directly supporting 1 in 3 residents. Bring together community champions who are keen to make Sutton even better - from businesses, the community, charities and the public sector. Identify the priorities we need to tackle together e.g. Hackney Giving supports employment/training plus health/wellbeing whilst Love Kingston focusses on poverty. Encourage people and businesses in Sutton to give what they can - money, time or talents - to make a real difference to our community e.g. in 3 years Islington Giving has raised over £2 million and recruited over 1000 volunteers. Give money, time or talents to local charities who we know can have a real impact on improving lives in Sutton e.g. the Kensington and Chelsea Foundation raised £312,233 in 2014/15 benefitting 57 local charities and 14,393 local people.

SUTTON’S ENVIRONMENT STRATEGY 2019–2025 & CLIMATE EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN CONTENTS Foreword - Cllr Manuel Abellan 3 Foreword - Cllr Ben Andrew 5 The Vision 6 Be part of this! 8 Cleaner air 12 A greener borough 16 Achieving net zero carbon 20 Creating a circular economy 24 Tackling climate change 28 Implementation 33 Asks of others 36 2 | Sutton’s Environment Strategy FOREWORD 2019 I am proud to present Sutton’s environment strategy that will take us forward for the next five years. Sutton has a well earned reputation for its green credentials but we want to go further by being London’s most sustainable borough. Everyone working, living and studying in Sutton has a part to play in protecting the environment in our borough. We had a fantastic response to the consultation that we held over the summer of 2018, with over 800 people giving their views via our Councillor Manuel consultation survey or through activities that Community Action Abellan, Chair of Sutton ran. We’ve made changes based on your comments. Environment and Neighbourhood It’s heartening to hear the actions many people in Sutton are already Committee taking to make us the most sustainable borough in London. Using the bus and leaving the car at home, taking reusable bags when shopping, growing your own food and saving water - small actions that, if we all do them, make a big difference. People rightly reminded us in the consultation that Sutton is just one borough and we need to work with our neighbouring boroughs and others to bring changes that extend beyond London.

Response from Helen Bailey 20201014
Helen Bailey Chief Executive London Borough of Sutton Civic Offices, St Nicholas Way, Sutton SM1 1EA [email protected] Tel: 020 8770 5000 DD: 020 8770 5203 Date: 14th October 2020 Dear Mr Colburn, Re: Workplace Diversity and Inclusivity (Case Ref: EC3190) Thank you for your letter of 25 September. Sutton Council is committed to diversity and inclusivity and works towards greater equality in the workforce profile year on year. Our aim is to develop a workforce profile that broadly reflects the community we serve, at all levels in the council. We have made progress in this area, but we are continuing to focus on the areas which need improvement. I am able to provide a significant degree of detail in this letter, which reflects the attention that we pay to diversity and inclusivity: ● Sutton Council’s workforce is made up of 26.24% black, asian and ethnic minority staff, our residents reflect 27.3%. The percentage earning over £50k has increased year on year since 2017/18 to 14.29% (at 31.3.20, this is the date of the figures quoted throughout this section as the current position, unless otherwise stated), but there is more to do to ensure that our workforce is represented at senior levels. ● 73.5% of our workforce is female, which is higher than the percentage of females living in the borough, which is 69%. 50.85% earning over £50k are female. ● The council has made positive steps during 2019 to decrease the gender pay gap and as of March 2019, the Council’s mean pay gap is 9.3% (in favour of men).

Opinion Research Services | Improving Health Together – Report: May 2020 E3.20 Sutton and Cheam Labour Party ORG023_Council questions................................................................................................................... 1 ORG023_Improving Healthcare Together Consultation - Labour Response ........................................ 3 7 London Borough of Sutton Under Standing Order 8.13 1) Question asked by Charlie Mansell, to Councillor Ruth Dombey, Chair of the Strategy and Resources Committee. The Chair of the Strategy and Resources Committee will have no doubt seen the recent Sutton North Focus leaflet which says it is "News from your Local Liberal Democrat team Councillor Ruth Dombey, Councillor Marlene Heron and Councillor Steve Penneck", having possibly helped deliver it too! This states on its second page "the CCGs preferred option of moving them to Belmont is likely to be carried forward unless opposition is mounted". In view of this public statement on a document published by her as a Councillor can she confirm whether this "opposition" to the "preferred option" is also now the formal position of Sutton Council too? Response Thank you for your question Mr Mansell and my apologies for the slight delay in responding. I am sure you will understand the impact that the Coronavirus emergency is having on all Council services. At the meeting of the Strategy and Resources Committee on Monday 30 March 2020 the Council adopted its formal response to the Improving Healthcare Together consultation which was duly submitted before the close of the consultation. The report and the audio recording of the meeting can be found on the Council website. I can confirm that the formal position of Sutton Council is St Helier as our preferred site for the new acute hospital.

Appendix A: Council Minutes of Questions Asked About the Lodge
Appendix A: Council Minutes of questions asked about The Lodge https://moderngov.sutton.gov.uk/documents/g3993/Public%20minutes%2002nd-Nov- 2015%2019.00%20Council.pdf?T=11 Question asked by Councillor Tim Crowley to Councillor Simon Wales, Lead for Finance and Voluntary Sector Can the lead member confirm whether or not a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the council and Ecolocal Ltd or any of its partners in relation to the Sale of the Lodge in Carshalton? Reply by Councillor Simon Wales, Lead for Finance and Voluntary Sector Thank you Mr Mayor. I can confirm that the Council has not signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Ecolocal or any of its partners for the proposed redevelopment of the Lodge. The Council has negotiated, however, a set of Heads of Terms for a lease between the Council and Ecolocal for the proposed redevelopment. These were presented to the Strategy & Resources Committee on 28th September this year for agreement. Approval at this Council meeting of the requisitioned Strategy and Resources report will confirm the Heads of Terms as the only agreement so far between the Council and Ecolocal for the project. Supplementary question asked by Councillor Tim Crowley I thank Councillor Wales for his response. Is the Councillor confident that if any FOI request were to be put in about discussions between Ecolocal and the Council that there would be no record of any discussion about having to recompense Ecolocal for they work that they’d done up to this point if this scheme was then discounted? Reply by Councillor Wales Thank you Councillor Crowley.
