Our aspiration is to build a better Merton together, putting the needs of our residents at the heart of everything we do. A place that demands more affordable and sustainable homes, that is surrounded by vibrant high streets, good schools, and safe neighbourhoods; a place where everyone feels connected to their community, celebrates diversity, and feels valued and involved; a place where our residents can lead healthy, active lives in a borough that is known as London’s Borough of Sport.
At Merton Council, our staff values unite us and underpin everything we do.
