As the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) restrictions lift, the Council is re-opening services as soon as they are able to, with the safety of staff and the public as the top priority at all times.
As these venues and facilities reopen, there will be changes made to the opening hours, set up and service in order to keep everybody safe. Please follow the guidance set out on the Council’s webpages and on site and follow the instructions of staff at all times.
Libraries
Sutton Central Library will begin offering a ‘select and collect’ service and limited IT facilities from 6 July. There will be reduced opening hours and a number of changes, including a one-way queuing system and social distancing. Reopening for the Sutton Life Centre will be reviewed constantly in line with how we are able to manage services and ensure staff and customers can remain protected and safe. Please check the Council web site for other libraries.
Please follow the Library social media channels and sign up for Sutton’s Cultural Services email newsletter for further updates on the service, and online events and content, such as Rhymetimes, Digital Information Centre and new podcast episodes.
Heritage houses
Whitehall Historic House and Honeywood Museum will be open for pre booked visits from Thursday 23 July 2020, between 10am and 4pm.
