@Bobby_Dean Bobby, it's an adjournment not a postponement, wording told to me by the CEO. It hasn't happened yet as the motion needs to be voted on later today. Think it's best to be factual rather than make things up for cheap sound bites, don't you agree?

This is my name and my pic, I don't hide behind false accounts. If I were, for example, ever to want to call a Cllr "inept", I'd put my name to it and not be a coward and hide behind a fake account. I believe in accountability its a shame not everyone does!

@SuttonCouncil I’ve just looked at #VeoliaUK website. It doesn’t list Sutton as a local authority it provides a service to and tells me to contact you if I can’t see my area.I can only assume they don’t want to admit to this sub standard service #suttonbinshame

Travellors from Fairlands Park have moved down the road to Cheam Park. Once again #Suttoncouncil have failed to prevent this, #ruthdombey you may be happy to be reactive rather than proactive, but we should have, and need a borough wide injunction to stop any more incursions.

shame when people put party politics above issues, Had an opportunity to ensure if a plan wasn't working it would be reviewed but the Lib Dem chose to table 2 pages of amendments 10 mins before the start of council rather than work with us to make Sutton cleaner and greener.
