Paper aims to save lavenders from bulldozers

The Sutton Guardian is campaigning to save a lavender field. The paper argues that Carshalton Field is an "irreplaceable piece of local heritage." But there is a possibility that it could be bulldozed to make way for the building of a new school. Sarah Bell, assistant editor of the weekly freesheet, is urging readers to sign a petition to preserve the tradition of lavender growing on the field, which goes back more than 100 years.
