[edit] Delete
I would suggest that if it doesn't grow within 24 hours (you listed it for deletion 3 minutes after creation), that it be changed to a redirect to London Borough of Sutton Markalex 17:43, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Shopping
Is Shopping in Sutton notable? I think not...84.70.95.247 17:32, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sutton, the town, vs London Borough of Sutton
I notice that there is confusion between the two in this article. For example, Education and Parks are, incorrectly, covering the Borough. I personally agree that the sections on shops and shopping need removing - they aren't appropriate. -Rodge500 08:33, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- The confusion often arises between references to the borough and the eponymous central area of a borough. Generally, it needs someone with local knowledge to fix it. I've moved education. Some info on shopping centres is appropriate, individual businesses names, not usually - unless they are otherwise notable in some way (like it being where the store started). So that should be removed. There should be a Sutton parks and open spaces article (... and there is). I'll try to fix a few things when I do a navigation template for the borough.
- The borough article is extraordinarily thin and any contributions would be welcomed. Kbthompson 09:57, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- I've done what I can, for the moment. It still needs to be trimmed for content (some is repetitive), and a greater focus (on the town centre). HTH. Kbthompson 10:14, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Today" section
I have removed the reference to "gamboling dens and gay bars" in relation to Sutton's nightlife. Gamboling dens sound delightful but i am not aware of the existence of any of these (or even gambling dens) Likewise I am not aware of the existence of any gay bars in the area. Obviously if anyone can prove likewise then please re-instate the relevant parts. Deckchair 13:04, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Nightlife
I've removed
" There has also been a significant rise in criminality in recent years, especially since 24 hour bar licenses were introduced in 2005 [citation needed]. In response to this changing shift in demographics the Metropolitan Police have chosen Sutton as the location for a new central police station which is currently the largest in south London. Since this explosion of club culture in Sutton, Sutton has acquired a somewhat dubious reputation[citation needed]."
This is at best specuation - at worst totally false
Stats on sutton crime rates http://www.crimestatistics.org.uk/tool/default.asp?region=9&force=12&cdrp=93&l1=0&l2=0&l3=0&sub=0&v=36
FYI There are no more nightclubs in sutton then there were in 2004
It would be better in my opinion to say...
"There has been a significent investment in suttons nightclubs in recent years"
