Sutton Scene Magazine (Aug/Sept) - Kimpton Update

The Aug/Sept issue has just been published:

1. Good to see there is a list of Councillors at the back, though I notice this has been moved as a pull-out from the centre pages of the 2002 equivalent. I wonder why? According to earlier Sutton Scene deadlines, this was due to appear in the previous edition, but either Councillors were slow getting photographed or someone decided to downgrade the article??

2. The article on Kimpton Park ("Park" - it looks more like a tip with the flytipping on the surrounding footpaths) was rather interesting. It says it is now flexible enough to tackle "any demand". However the queues of cars, and cramped feel to the site still does not indicate to me that we have cracked the problem. I welcome the comment that it is "not a dump", but I think the article did not set out what people should do in all eventualities and even what items should be divided up into? Hopefully the Oct/Nov issue will cover this in more detail. In the end my own view is that the site should be enlarged with adjoining land by not letting off all the land we intend to use for other businesses. Will Councillors have the courage to address this?
