As per our note below from 10th Sept please note that they are holding an open morning this coming Thursday from around 9am to 10.30am.
There are no special traffic management arrangements for this and it is not expected to be anything like the volume that was experienced on the 15th.
Hopefully you will have all now received a note from the school regarding the open evening as per our previous posts.
If you didn’t or have misplaced it please find below a copy:
Stanley Park High – Open Evening
As mentioned in our news section earlier this year the open evening for the school is being held on Tuesday 15th September from 5:30pm to around 8:30pm.
Residents / Visitors who drive should approach the school from Diamond Jubilee Way/Fountain Drive and exit via Metcalfe Avenue onto Woodmansterne Road.
This effectively means there will be a one-way system operating for SPH visitors and local residents from 4:45pm to 8:30pm.
Volunteer Stewards and extra Security will be on duty during this time to try and help direct traffic and assist visitors in parking to minimise the impact of the event.
For those residents that enjoy the mobile library visit on a Saturday morning (11.05 to 11.30 on Fountain Drive in between the roundabout and Roman Way) there have been rumours circulating that this service might suffer from the councils latest cost cutting measures.
One of our local Councillors (Moira Butt) has been at pains to ensure that proper consultation takes place before any changes are made that impact us and has an assurance from Madeline Barratt (Sutton Head of Libraries, Heritage and Arts) that we will have the chance for input if changes are suggested.
In the meantime please do use the contact us form if there is anything that you would like to comment on and hopefully goes without saying use the library as much as you can to show our support.
Below is a copy of the minutes from the committee meeting earlier this month:
Police in Sutton have received four reports within the last 11 days of young children on their own being offered a lift by strangers in a dark coloured car.
The children, who were aged between 10-13, were approached in the Carshalton and Wallington areas between 08:30-18:45hrs.
On each occasion, the lifts were declined by the child by either saying ‘no’ or walking away. At no time has there been any physical contact between the occupants in the car and the child.
Also, on each occasion a black male or black female was seen in the vehicle.
Sutton’s Detective Chief Inspector Rachael Porter said it was important that parents remind their children about the importance of saying ‘no’ to strangers. “It’s also important that all such incidents are reported to police so we are in the best position to know what’s happening so we can put a stop to it,” she said.
Police officers have increased their patrols whilst the Met Police trained operators staffing the borough’s CCTV system in the control room at Sutton Police station are remaining vigilant.
Our crime prevention advice to children is to shout ‘no’ or ‘help’ and to move away to a place of safety such as their school or to someone they know and can trust as soon as possible.
If you have any information, contact Sutton Police station on 101. Or call police on 999 in an emergency.
For those residents who have battled with pathetic plastic bags, pilgrimages down to the Kimpton Park Way recycling centre there is now the two-tone garden waste bins.
