Bromley Cyclists / Bromley Living Streets joint submission

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.

By getting more people walking and cycling, we can reduce the number of car journeys, reduce air pollution, create healthier communities and attract business and investment into our high streets.
