Butter Hill Residents Association & Community
Looking back on 2021 and forward to 2022. I just want to say how blessed I am, to live in such a great community. A special thanks to Chris, Jo, John, Harley, Lynn, Anna, Allsorts Premier, Lynn, Alicia, Katharine and Jean who have really helped pull this community together and thank you to all the residents that support our local shop, businesses The RA and each other. Also a very special thanks to Sara from The Sutton Way (SWAY) - Residents Page Way and Sheldon who stepped in to help me and the Residents Association. I couldn’t do it without you.
May 2022 be a great year for you all.xx
Fly-tipping & Bin Solution - Butter Hill
From Cllr Barry Lewis:
It has been agreed that the bin outside the shops on Butter Hill is to be located on the pavement as shown in the photo. The mobile response team that empty the bin are aware of its new location and will ensure it is returned there rather than in front of residential properties.
It is currently a standard bin but should be replaced with a sensor bin sometime in August, at the moment there is a shortage of computer chips that operate the sensors.
Temporary signage about flytipping has been installed and Kingdom enforcement officers will make additional patrols. A sensor camera is to be installed but I don't have confirmation as to when.
If you can, please take your litter home, or better still don't create it in the first place.
Air Pollution Project
** Update: Monitors have now arrived**
We made a succesful bid for funding Air Pollution monitors, we are hoping to start this project in April.
Ten air pollution monitoring tubes will be placed around Carshalton and Wallington
Our volunteers will collect the tubes which will be sent off to a lab for analysis
Butter Hill Litter Picking
We recently held another litter picking event (Sunday 6th February)

Primary care networks:
What will clinical pharmacy in PCNs look like?
-
Numbers of clinical pharmacists will be expanded and, by 2023/24, a typical PCN of 50,000 patients could choose to have its own team of approximately six whole-time equivalent (WTE) clinical pharmacists.
-
A dedicated team will make it possible to create varied and tailored roles, which will be primarily patient facing and clinical in nature:
- • Undertaking structured medication reviews
- • Improving medicines optimisation and safety
- • Improving antimicrobial stewardship
- • Supporting care homes
- • Running practice clinics
- • Linking in with pharmacist colleagues in other sectors.
