Sutton and Cheam Labour Party Sutton and Cheam Constituency Labour Party, London Borough of Sutton
Thank you for voting for Bonnie Craven in the General Election
Thanks you to over 7,000 of you who voted for Bonnie and the many people who helped with her campaign. Though we were not successful this time, we will be campaigning from the start of 2020 on some of the following:
-
Fighting to protect St Helier and Epsom’s Hospitals’ A&E’s and Maternity service from being downgraded and replaced by a smaller unit in Belmont
-
Continuing to fight against the proposed school being built on Rosehill Park
-
Campaigning to re-elect Sadiq Khan as Mayor of London and win the Croydon and Sutton London Assembly seat which is a close marginal between Conservatives and Labour with the Lib Dems in third place
A message to voters from Bonnie Craven
I have lived in this area since 1980, had successful careers in the City & primary education. I am now a trade union official. I am the only candidate of the three main Parties that lives in the constituency.
I have led campaigns against the Bedroom Tax, fought hard for St Helier Hospital & against privatisation of the NHS, and I successfully proposed changes to Labour health policy at its Conferences in 2016 and 2019. I worked on both of Jeremy Corbyn’s Leadership campaigns.
Locally, I have organised parents at my childrens’ primary school against SATs and academisation which has seen other parents get more involved in politics. I have developed strong links with local charities & am an Ambassador for First Touch, the neonatal charity.
In 2017 I was the Labour candidate for Sutton and Cheam, and achieved our highest result since 1970, doubling our vote from the previous General Election just two years previously. This time, with our transformative manifesto and our policies to rebuild our public services, we intend to win.
The Tories are holding people back. Our NHS is at breaking point, St Helier Hospital is under threat & working people are struggling, while those at the top get tax breaks. The Lib Dems nationally and locally have been enthusiastic allies of the Tories with their political choice of austerity, which is tearing into the very fabric of our society.
The Lib Dems have not ruled out a deal with the Tories. I know from talking to many of you that their coalition with the Tories still angers most local people. That is why for all their claims, they simply cannot and will not ‘keep the Tories out’.

Sutton and Cheam Labour
Welcome to Sutton and Cheam Labour Party’s website. We are an active local Party rooted in the local community:
-
Labour stands for the many not the few
-
Labour is active and campaigning locally
-
Labour is the voice of protecting public services in Sutton: St Helier Hospital land under threat, bringing contracts in-house, building Council housing
-
The Lib Dems are ruining Sutton: record complaints over waste collection, poor consultation over parking, the Incinerator, building on Rosehill Park
-
The Lib Dems and Tories run Sutton. They are in it together: the impact of austerity from the previous Con/Lib coalition runs deep in this borough
Our ongoing aim is to build stronger networks in the community to campaign for social change
