AGM

At the Association's AGM members elect the committee and have the opportunity to question the Councillors and Committee on matters relating to Sanderstead. The next AGM was due to be held on Wednesday 20th May 2020 at 7.30 pm in All Saints' Church Hall, Onslow Gardens, Sanderstead, CR2 9AB, but has had to be postponed because of the coronavirus crisis. A revised date will be notified as soon as government regulations permit such gatherings. In the meantime, the current committee will remain in post.

The Association’s Chairman, Dennis King, intended to stand down at the AGM in May 2020 after 12 years in the position. However, because of the impact of Covid-19 the AGM has had to be postponed until later in the year. In the meantime, the committee has voted in favour of his successor taking the role of Acting Chairman, as of 1 July 2020. We hope that the position will be ratified at the re-arranged AGM in the autumn. Heather Lindsay is now our Acting Chairman and can be contacted on [email protected] The committee members are very grateful to Dennis for his hard work during his tenure.

Role of the Association

Today the role of the association is to promote the interests of Sanderstead and its residents in several ways. We are able to provide financial support to assist and promote Sanderstead based organisations perform their work within our community. We also continue to undertake the traditional role of a Residents' Association; resisting planning applications likely to disadvantage residents and raising concerns about matters such as the proposed closure of the Sanderstead Library and the Purley Swimming Pool.
