Hi Bromley Council hope you've been managing to keep cool in the heat? If not I've heard towels in the freezer work a treat. Oh on a completely unrelated note...just wondering whether you are ready to declare a #ClimateEmergency yet?
Last night LB #Bromley’s Tory Councillors voted in favour of residents breathing toxic air from vehicle emissions. Less than a mile from the Council chamber, children attending ValleyPrimarySchool School are exposed to some of the worst #airpollution outside schools in our borough ⬇️
Bromley Council May I gently suggest that this tweet (and the item to which it links) contravenes paragraph 1.7 of the Code of Conduct for Councillors (political purposes) as well as the requirement that LA publicity be objective.
Bromley Council E.g., para 16 of the Code of Practice states " local authorities should not use public funds to mount publicity campaigns whose primary purpose is to persuade the public to hold a particular view on a question of policy."
Getting children outside and playing has been the focus of Playing Out, a UK-wide grassroots initiative started on Bristol's streets. They've helped 40,410 children to play out in safe street spaces. Want to do something similar? See our funding options ⬇️ sportengland.org/funds-and-camp…
Calls for 20mph speed limits in LB #Bromley are getting louder. Will the four BIDs - Beckenham Together @Orpington1st Penge SE20 Your Bromley - join residents in asking Bromley Council to create 20-minute #activetravel neighbourhoods around town centres? It’s good for business too ⬇️
Cycling levels in England are up by 47% on weekdays compared to the same period in 2021, according to Department for Transport data📈 The demand is there - we now need more safe cycling infrastructure across the UK to match it 👇 forbes.com/sites/carltonr…
Great tips and inspiring story. We'd love to hear from Bromley residents who have started to cycle or walk more everyday journeys! Living Streets
Here’s an initiative for GPs in LB #Bromley to embrace, however for it to succeed Tory Councillors need to break their addiction to cars, and enable safer #walking and #cycling on our streets, with #20mph where people live, shop, go to school. Bromley GP Alliance Bromley Council #20sPlenty
My god, it doesn't get more obvious than this... Bromley Tories (Carservatives) remove Active Travel as part of their key performance indicators for Urban Design... #AciveTravel Bromley Living Streets Living Streets ActiveTravelforBromley Active Travel England
I can confirm Better Beckenham betterbeckenham.bsky.social that #Bromley Conservatives proposed, approved & voted through amendment to remove #activetravel as KPI in Guide. Opposition incl me as 1 of x4 Labour + 1 Lib Dem voted against. To modernise & gain all poss funding we shld be embracing active travel
Down to 1 #schoolstreet in #Bromley Bromley Council why do you insist on pushing us backwards as a burough instead of doing more to enable #ActiveTravel
