Cllr. Jill Whitehead says:

“Send in photos of Sutton’s parks and you could win a prize! Did you know we’ve got more than 90 parks and open spaces in the borough, providing more than 400 hectares to explore and have fun in – that’s about the same as 550 football pitches! Anyone can enter the competition. Your photos just need to have been taken in one of Sutton’s parks. They can be of scenery, sports and activities, picnics, wildlife… anything that grabs your attention. Just make sure that if you’re photographing people you have their permission, and if you’re photographing children you have their parent or guardian’s permission.

Cllr. Hamish Pollock adds:

The closing date for entries is 10 November 2013. Our panel will choose the best shots from adults (18 and over), young people (aged 12 – 17), and children (aged up to 11). Each category will have an outright winner, second place and third place. Prizes will be high street shopping vouchers – £100 worth for the winner, £50 worth for second place and £25 worth for third place. Winners will be notified by 10 December 2013.

Cllr. Alan Salter says:
