💚A low traffic neighbourhood with pedestrian & cycle access💚

The street trees & planting not only look great - they're helping London cope with the climate crisis: shade reducing heat when it's hot and SUDS absorbing water in heavy rain.

👏👏 @IslingtonBC @RowChampion & team

[Will Norman @willnorman]

Well done to all the brilliant local councillors who have lowered the speed limits on their roads to 20mph - often in the face of much hostility.

There is now irrefutable evidence to show your bold decisions are saving lives.

Thank you!

@charlie_baker23 @BromptonBicycle Following with interest as few (more) Brompton trips planned. Eurostar easier after three check ins. We have one Brompton with rack and one without. Somewhat easier to manoeuvre through check in and station with rack. Finding luggage space on busy TGV more of a challenge!

@SteveSangster @willnorman @MayorofLondon @lambeth_council @SafeCycleLDN Re. BT Pole - Interested to hear from LBB if this is an oversight and pole still to be moved?
Drawing indicates 'Cycletrack kerb alignment straightened. Require BT Pole Relocation' - see papers from Nov '22 LBB Environment & CS PDS Cmte mtg: https://t.co/blPA06gD7K

@AlisonStammers @LiveableBromley @fazza_ Ditto. As a ‘Snow Friend Coordinator’ I now have to make neighbours watch the video, read the risk assessment, and sign up individually before I can order snow shovels and salt to keep our footways clear of snow and ice.

Whatever next?

@samdwebber @LBofBromley @BR7BR5BR1News @LiveableBromley @LBBResidents @NewsShopper @joecoughlan_ @lewis_baston @andrewteale @JulieIreland Do you get analysis of the most 'popular' errors that led to a ballot being rejected? Could any instructions be deemed to be ambiguous?

[Richard Gibbons @RichardNGibbons]

@AlisaIgoe Autumn leaf fall helps us see the space motor vehicles actually need; and where there are opportunities to add a pavement build-out to enable safer, shorter crossings for people walking and wheeling, plant a tree and/or create a rain garden. #sneckdown #beckenham #bromley

@ChisMatters Hi, wonder if you can raise issue of lighting in bus shelters with TfL - e.g. of these 4 shelters in Green Street Green, 1 light works, 1 very dim, 2 appear not to work. Reporting via FMS but suggest all shelters in LBB checked as a matter of urgency as daylight hours reduce. TIA

Hi @aisha_cuthbert, I'm a fan of #FixMyStreet and wonder if you'd review Tree Planting Request messaging? LBB email with subject "Report reference: 3801181 (No further action)" + report closed online with "State changed to: No further action" may discourage further requests. TIA

[Richard Gibbons @RichardNGibbons]

@aisha_cuthbert @BromleyLS @thediyora @samdwebber @JulieIreland @LBofBromley TBF it was very difficult to hear you (and most officers when they were sitting to your right) from the public gallery. New sound system remains wanting in absence of live streaming. Note Bromley Biodiversity Plan (p169) re Pond Management: https://t.co/bBJmfL7dPg

@AlisaIgoe @BromleyLS Attended LB #Bromley Environment & CS PDS Cmte mtg. Sincere thanks Cllrs @Kathy_bance @AlisaIgoe @JulieIreland @AlisonStammers for holding portfolio holders, officers and contractor to account with insightful and probing questions. Residents fortunate to have you represent them.

Huge thanks to @HARK_Films for creating this for us, featuring the brilliant @reelsophiec. #AirPollution is the number one environmental risk to our health in the UK. We urgently need to reduce pollution. Spread the word - and join us. #CleanAir

I would be really grateful if you could take 2 minutes to read some info about the ULEZ consultation (here: https://t.co/yBNZjEFYKX) and then respond to the consultation. Why am I saying this? 1/n

[Bromley Living Streets @BromleyLS]

School's out! Nearly. In @LBBromley, road safety concerns are main barrier to more active travel to school (on foot/bike/scooter): according to Bromley Living Streets School Travel Survey (5500 responses from 89 schools) https://t.co/mfhYmrGWLZ - what do you think? #schoolstreets

[Richard Gibbons @RichardNGibbons]

@SteveSangster @LBofBromley Hi Steve, best to contact Friends Forum of Bromley Parks and Green Spaces direct. Their website has all the info you need to set up a Friends Group: https://t.co/evs3yj8yYl

Let’s explore synergies with @OrpingtonPriory too perhaps?

@jamesrowe73 “The borough has 520 miles of road and 750 miles of pavement, and we follow a detailed schedule of safety inspections.” - @LBofBromley https://t.co/AiVNwjUM7w 🤔

[Richard Gibbons @RichardNGibbons]

@will_harmer @brendan_zappa @CliveLees1 @nicoladykes @BR1Michael @LBofBromley @RVResidents Time to review residential street services. Seems incongruous it’s policy residents clear pavement snow and ice; encouraged to remove basal growth; allowed to plant tree pits; yet offers to cut grass verges and improve biodiversity refused. Opportunity to reimagine #StreetFriends

[GreenerandcleanerUK @GreenercleanerB]

Many cherish & use #Bromley PARKS & GREEN SPACES (incl #allotments), especially in these times of #Covid19. Here's a vital opportunity to feed into the 10yr plan for our borough - deadline 7th Jan! More #pollinators #trees #cycleparking #milestones pls? X
