  • CAN YOU HELP WPCC WITH THEIR DOG-WALKING SURVEY?

    The WPCC (Wimbledon & Putney Commons Conservators) are looking to better understand how people use Wimbledon Common, Putney Heath and Putney Lower Common when walking their dogs.

    Whether you visit with your dogs every day or only occasionally, they would value your input.

    The survey should take just a couple of minutes to complete, and the feedback will help WPCC build a clearer picture of how the Commons are used and enjoyed by dog walkers. This will in turn help inform future planning for the Commons and allow us to continue developing better communication and engagement with the dog walking community.

    The survey is open to any dog owner and dog walker who uses Wimbledon Common, Putney Heath, Putney Lower Common and the Richardson Evans Memorial Playing Fields.

    Please click the link below to take part. Survey closes 30 June 2026.

  • WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE SPOT IN PUTNEY? - Positively Putney

    Putney town centre is home to a wide range of thriving businesses but which ones stand out to you? This short consumer survey aims to better understand how people use and experience the town centre.

    Local businesses greatly value feedback from residents, particularly insights into what people enjoy and where improvements could be made. The survey also provides an opportunity to celebrate the many outstanding businesses in the area by highlighting your personal favourites.

    It takes around five minutes to complete and you can be entered in a prize draw to win a £50 voucher for a Putney business.

    Check back to see the results of the survey which will be shared next month.

  • PUTNEY AIR QUALITY IMPROVING

    More good news on local air pollution: Putney Society monitoring reveals that levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution around central Putney have fallen significantly over the last two years - a big relief, after five years of little improvement.

    Even better, the biggest improvements have generally been at the sites where pollution was worst; so NO2 levels at most locations are, finally, below the UK legal limit.

  • DEFIBRILLATOR MAP

    The Community Panel has identified the publicly available defibrillators that are in central Putney and drawn a handy map of where they are located.
