Cllr. Alan Salter reports:-

Many residents of Carshalton Central work or shop in Sutton town centre or travel from Sutton Station and may have noticed some changes happening.

Three developments that are set to transform the town centre are now underway; work on the Sutton station gateway project; Sutton Point; and Brighton Road car park.

Sutton Station Gateway

A joint project between Sutton Council, Southern Railway, Network Rail and Transport for London will make significant changes to the station and the area around it. After a public consultation, work on the project has now begun with the path that runs from Brighton Road to the steps and ramp outside Quadrant House due to close on Monday while work to open the side entrance begins. This element of the project is set to be complete in the summer with commuters heading to Quadrant House having to walk along Brighton Road and then into the Quadrant.

Other alterations to the area at the front of the station will be completed later in the year.

Sutton Point

Hoarding has gone up around the Sutton Point site in Sutton Court Road as developer CNM Estates prepares to start work on a project to build Sutton’s tallest tower alongside two smaller towers in a development comprising flats, shops a hotel and a tram stop.

Brighton Road Car Park

Hoarding has also gone up around the Brighton Road car park as engineering company Subsea 7 start work to demolish it to make space for a new state-of-the-art office block.
