Borough's climate strategy
Sutton Council is scrutinising the environmental record of the Beddington Energy Recovery Facility operator in relation to the borough's climate strategy.
In November 2025, Sutton Council raised concerns about the environmental compliance record of Viridor, operator of the Beddington Energy Recovery Facility. This scrutiny occurred during a council meeting amidst ongoing questions about the facility's environmental impact and its alignment with the borough's climate objectives. Councillor Jillian Green questioned the promotion of the facility, citing its history of environmental permit breaches.
The council's climate strategy guides its approach to environmental issues within the borough. The questions raised in November 2025 highlight how the strategy's objectives are considered in relation to local infrastructure and its operators. No further discussions on this specific matter are currently scheduled.
