Alan, Jill and Hamish visited the building demolition site today 8th March 2014, as viewed from Kingsley Avenue (1st picture) and Byron Avenue East (2nd picture).IMG-20140308-00953Sutton-20140308-00947                                                                                                                                                                                        The site is bounded by these roads and Cowper Avenue to the west and Westmead Road itself to the south.

Carshalton Central Cllr. Jill Whitehead reports: “As previously reported in our FOCUS newsletters, the rear part of the site will be developed as houses, and the front and middle as the 74 bed care home which Alan, myself and Hamish opposed and which Sutton Council’s Development Control Committee also opposed. Alas permission to build the care home was granted by an unelected planning inspector (a Government official) based in Bristol.”
