About the Borough
In Sutton, there is much for us to be proud of both as a council and as a borough.

This includes high levels of resident satisfaction, the quality of our services, our success in addressing our financial challenges to date, the way that we involve and engage with residents on key issues facing the borough, and the enthusiastic and motivated staff that we employ.


Looking ahead, there are plans for the delivery of new homes and new schools and the London Cancer Hub is being developed, while the Council is also seen as a driving force within the South London Partnership of five outer south west London boroughs focused on strategic growth, regeneration and investment.


All of this demonstrates a good track record and an authority that is ambitious and set to deliver more improvements for the borough.

We've set out our vision for the future of Sutton in our corporate plan - Ambitious for Sutton.

This strategic plan will shape the outcomes we achieve, the services we provide, and the impact we have on residents, to make Sutton a great place to live, work and raise a family.


Situated in Zone 5, Sutton is less than 30 minutes by train from central London, and south and south west London are easily accessible by public transport.

There are 10 train stations which serve key neighbourhoods within the borough providing direct connections to London Victoria, London Bridge, London Blackfriars and St Pancras International.

Sutton also has direct rail connections with Epsom, Dorking, Guildford and Horsham, as well as Wimbledon for an interchange with the London Underground and West Croydon for the London Overground.

There's also an extensive road network which provides close and easy access to the M25 and M23.

The current LBS figure would be £47,805 to offset the NHS entry figure of £46,836._
  • As part of our Recruitment and Retention Bonus, and to support our colleagues with the rising costs of living:_
- _ New recruits within Children's Health Services are entitled to the NHS passport scheme. This is the transfer of your continuous service from your previous employer, so you don't lose the benefit you have may have acquired due to long service._
- _ Staff within selected roles within Children's Health Services will receive a "Golden Hello", a one off payment of £1,500 when joining, paid in your first months' salary and a Retention Bonus of £1,500 after completing 2 years service._
