Questions from the Public for Oral Response:
1) Agenda Item 13b – BECKENHAM: SOUTHEND ROAD, PARK ROAD, FOXGROVE ROAD SAFETY SCHEME (Report No: ES20241)
The UK design manual for roundabouts states a 4-arm mini-roundabout should not be used where the peak traffic flows at the junction exceed 500 vehicles an hour. The Southend/Foxgrove/Park Road junction has more than three times this flow. How can the Council bring forward a scheme that breaches this guidance?

Questions from the Public for Oral Response:
1) I am a resident of Tylney Road, and for years, cars have been driving too fast down the road. There have been several times where I’ve nearly been hit by speeding cars due to lack of visibility. Will the Council commit to reducing speed on Tylney Road, and how?

Draft response by Bromley Living Streets and Bromley Cyclists
This document is our draft response to this SPD consultation written by Bromley Cyclists (part of the London Cycling Campaign – LCC) and Bromley Living Streets (part of Living Streets, the national charity for everyday walking – https://bromleyls.org.uk/), two local organisations run by and for residents of Bromley Borough. We think it is vitally important that stakeholders who care about the future of Bromley Town centre respond to this consultation because (as explained on the council’s webpage) The SPD provides detailed guidance to assist with the implementation of adopted Development Plan policies – Bromley Local Plan and the London Plan – that relate to Bromley Town Centre. We are keen to receive feedback on this draft response. We are also keen to encourage others to provide feedback.

Questions from the Public for Written Response:
1) How is the Council going to stop those who have not accepted the will of the electorate and the democratic processes of the Council over such matters as School Streets policy from wasting Councillors and officers time in future? Meetings are being disrupted by those who wish to shout loudest.

Today is UK Parklets Day, and so we want to invite you to take 5 minutes to contribute a potential parklet location to Possible (a UK climate charity), write to your councillor to show your support for parklets, and then design a parklet to put there. At the moment, Possible’s map has very few locations marked in London Borough of Bromley. Let’s change that now. You can do it here: https://interactive.wearepossible.org/parkletplotter/
