The new hanging baskets have finally been put up on Stonecot Hill, North Cheam. Three years ago I lobbied my local committee to have hanging baskets to help improve the local economy by making the area a more pleasant place to shop.
Once councillors for our local area had agreed to allocate funding for the hanging baskets, the London Borough of Sutton then had to ask permission to do this from TfL. Unfortunately this was a lengthy process and TfL took three years to finally agree to it.
