Sutton Council have purchased a piece of land for £8M at Sutton Hospital for a school, but most sensible people consider it far too small and poorly located compared to the demand for additional school places. This was confirmed by the Greenshaw Learning Trust and the Education Funding Agency who prefer the Rosehill site.
Nearly 2 years ago the Council made the very unpopular and illogical decision to allow the building of a Medical Centre and houses on the ex-Henderson Hospital site, despite the obvious access problems as it is so far from the nearest public transport. So far no work has been started on the Medical Centre, but the houses are nearly complete.
Instead of building the much needed medical centre in the wrong place, i.e. on the proposed Henderson site, it's strikingly obvious to build the projected Sutton South Medical Centre on the recently purchased land parcel on the Sutton Hospital site, given that there's no other sensible use for the land and it is is easily accessed by public transport.
We call upon Sutton Council to facilitate the construction of the proposed medical centre on the land it has purchased at the Sutton Hospital site.

A health centre on the old Sutton hospital set would be the best solution. Even include a block of sheltered accommodation would be an asset with the medical centre. It is the obvious solution.
It is ludicrous to continue with the idea of a school on the Sutton Hospital Site. Apart from the totally inadequate sized plot, it is also in the wrong location in the borough. Build the Medical Centre, get genuine synergy with the Marsden and ICR, as well as good transport options already in place.
The Henderson hospital site is not the right place for a medical centre. It is up a hill, has access difficulties, insufficient parking in an area which already has parking issues, plus difficult transport. The Sutto hospital site is more appropriate and gives the opportunity for all medical related services to be on one site.
This site is totally TOO SMALL for the proposal of 2 combined GP surgeries and the amount of people and traffic flow it would generate. The surrounding residents, and their points of view on the use of this site for this purpose were totally negated by the Sutton Council.
It is an excellent idea to build a medical centre in the Sutton Hospital site and for all the good reasons: The eye unit at Sutton was renowned everywhere... reinstate it! Easily accessible by public transport; it is something that the community wants and would actually be situated in the right place, so close to the Royal Marsden.
A surgery or health centre, makes sense, as Hospitals not near to this area. There is plenty of land here for car parking . And there is a good bus Service that also serves Marsden Hospital.
The Henderson Hospital site is a ridiculous site for the proposed medical centre, for all the reasons given here, and indeed given at the planning meetings. Listen to the local residents, who will be the ones affected, will you please

Excellent location for both Sutton and Belmont residents. The site will have more room for the many different , where departments of a good GP practice. Currently the alternative for patients is Shotfield, Wallington, where there is bad traffic and expensive parking.
