Boundary Commission – new parliamentary constituencies proposed

Boundary Commission recommendations for new parliamentary constituencies create a Mitcham and Norbury constituency. Unlike earlier proposals, Mitcham remains intact thanks to local campaigning. MPs will vote on the new proposals before they are implemented.

What we're working on

Air quality. We are monitoring air qualtiy in Mitcham on an ongoing basis. Latest info is in News

The Canons. We were one of three community organisations in Mitcham instrumental in securing £4.3 million for The Canons in summer 2017. We are now involved in work on spending this money to reinvigorate the open spaces and The Canons house. Check the project out on Facebook

Our street scene. We care about how Mitcham feels as a place to live, work, shop and relax. We comment on planning applications when we think they will be harmful to our area which we think still has a strong village feel thanks to its open spaces and historic buildings.

Litter. An ongoing problem in Mitcham we are constantly on the alert for fly tips and litter build-ups. We report these to Merton Council's streets contractor Veolia and its parks contractor IdVerde. You can report too - try tweeting @VeoliaUK @idverdeUK or reporting online to Merton Council

More. We get involved in other projects too. Watch this space for the latest news!
