Sutton Council issue statement over SDEN claims Sutton Council have agreed to carry out an independent review of the Sutton Decentralised Energy Network (SDEN) following claims about its financial sustainability. The review comes after months of concerns raised over the quality of the council-owned energy supplier, which residents rely on to receive energy to their homes and businesses. The council said that SDEN was introduced in 2016, to combat the climate emergency and provide low carbon hot water and heating to homes at the New Mill Quarter development in Hackbridge. But over the past twelve months, residents at the New Mill Quarter have reported around twenty network fails which have left hundreds of them without heating and water.

Sutton Council has fined a café £1,000 and accused its management of putting people’s lives at risk, after it was warned multiple times for breaching coronavirus restrictions. In conjunction with the Met Police, the council investigated the café after tip-offs that it was continuing to serve seated customers inside the premises. According to the council, despite multiple visits, advice and warnings, the owner still allowed people to eat and drink while seated in the cafe, at times even trying to conceal the activity from officers. The council did not disclose the name of the business in its statement.
