The Cheam North and Worcester Park Local Committee has agreed in principle to construct a new path in Sutton Common Park as shown on the attached plan.
The aim of the scheme is to provide a gravel surfaced path for walkers to use all year round between the pavilion and footpath leading to Morden Way and Elm Road West. It will provide an improved facility for the existing users of the park and will hopefully encourage new users in to the park and through the park on route to other local destinations. A new path is also proposed to link to one of the gates into the playground area. It is not intended to provide street lighting along the path as it is to be promoted as a daytime route only and the gates to the park will continue to be locked at night. Funding for this scheme is available from Transport for London.
The Friends of Sutton Common Park (www.foscp.org.uk) support this proposal as it is identified as an infrastructure improvement scheme in the Parks Master Plan.
