Since November 2024 Positively Putney have funded undercover security to support businesses with the increase in shoplifting. We work closely with a number of departments within the Metropolitan Police to help reduce crime and anti-social behaviour. This includes the Thamesfield Safer Neighbourhood team, the Fulham Football Police Officer, the Counter Terroism team, and the licensing team. We also work with Wandsworth Council’s Community Safety team.

In 2025 we will be launching the Shopsafe Alert app to help businesses share information and combat business crime.

We organise a range of crime reducing workshops for businesses including Counter terroism, counterfeit notes, fake ID’s, and Violence Against Women. If you are interested in attending one please contact Svan for future dates.

Putney boasts a fantastic selection of bars, restaurants and pubs. To help manage this thriving night time economy, Positively Putney manage a Pubwatch scheme. These meetings are held quarterly and are attended by the Police Licensing Sergeant, the Football Public Disorder Officer and the local PC ward officers. The meetings focus on the discussion and dissemination of intelligence to assist tackling anti-social behaviour and other local issues.

Next Meeting: Thursday 1st of February at 11am at The Railway.

We support businesses to become more sustainable.

Since we launched our reusable cup scheme in 2019 we estimated we have saved over 3 million single use plastic cups. They were launched to hospitality businesses in advance of Boat Race day 2019. These cups were then used throughout the summer when serving outside. It is recommended that each cup can last for 50 washes and we continued to restock them as required.   

If your business would like some cups please contact info@positivelyputney.co.uk.

It is a well-known fact that Putney has poor air quality. To make Putney a more desirable town to visit, Positively Putney is working hard alongside central Government, Wandsworth Council, the Mayor for London and Transport for London to improve the quality of air in the town centre.

To encourage people to walk or cycle to work instead of using cars, we have produced Putney Cycling Guide which covers all the issues to make cycling to work a possibility.

Positively Putney are also working to improve traffic flow through Putney by monitoring traffic lights and other obstacles, as well as encouraging drivers to switch off their engines when waiting at traffic lights. These methods ensure that Putney’s employees, shoppers, visitors and locals can breathe healthier and cleaner air.

In 2020, Positively Putney worked with Wandsworth Council to install parklets along Putney High Street. Aside from providing greenery to the High Street, they also allow locals to rest, eat their lunch and watch the world go by. We also installed a green ivy wall to improve the look of the area and improve air quality.

Always looking for opportunities to increase greening in Putney town centre. Positively Putney maintain the parklets, permanent planters on Upper Richmond Road and Putney Bridge Road, on Church Square and the recently moved planters in locations on Putney High Street. These plants improve the look of the area as well as improving the air quality. We also maintain the 10 tiered planters to brighten up the town centre.

In the summer of 2024 and 2025 we installed 40 lamp wrap planters (similar to hanging baskets but easier to keep watered), and six large planters positioned at key locations of the town centre.

Positively Putney funded the installation of the parklet in Felsham Road (2020), Putney Bridge Road (2022), Lacy Road (2024). These break up the hard landscape and provides a space for people to sit, relax and eat their lunch.

If your business has a planter that needs maintaining we have a regular gardener who could look after it for you. Please contact marketing@positivelyputney.co.uk to discuss options.

In 2022 we successfully secured funding and support from Greater London Authority under the Business Climate Challenge (BCC) to help businesses reduce energy bills and cut carbon emissions. This was a unique opportunity for Positively Putney members to start to future-proof their businesses against rising energy prices and help London become net zero. Twenty businesses within Putney were provided with an energy audit worth an estimated £6,000.

The BCC supported businesses to commit to reducing their workplace energy consumption by at least 10% in a year. They received expert support including:
• a workplace audit identifying ways to reduce energy use
• bespoke recommendations including ‘quick wins’ for energy conservation, deeper retrofits, and a roadmap of actions to reach net zero emissions
• training sessions for relevant staff
• peer-sharing with other participating businesses

Positively Putney is pleased to be the official Refill scheme in Putney. We joined the award-winning campaign to prevent plastic pollution by making it easier to reuse and refill your water bottle on the go.

If you’re a business with a publicly accessible, stand-alone cold water tap, then you can become a Refill Station. Simply provide a few details to create your free profile on the Refill map. Once your Refill Station is live, you’re ready to welcome thirsty refillers and benefit from increased exposure and footfall as a result. More information available here
