SafeCrossings4Chislehurst

Residents of Chislehurst, London, asking for road safety improvements & safe crossings for all in our community🚶🏽‍♂️🚲🚶‍♀️🛴

[SafeCrossings4Chislehurst @ChisRoadSafety]

Not unexpected by #Bromley council overall by but nonetheless hugely disappointing NOT to have our #Chislehurst cllrs stand strong in support of our petition asking for road safety improvements at #ChislehurstWarMemorial! Thank you to @labour4bromley

It is approx. 300m from the bus stop to the shops on the corner of Church Row by this circuitous route rather than 100m by the direct route, and we would be concerned that not all school children (from Coopers in particular) will use it.

This proposed design is not corresponding with the main pedestrian need and desire line - which is from bus stop P on Centre Common Road to the SW corner of the war memorial junction.

[SafeCrossings4Chislehurst @ChisRoadSafety]

The proposal designs published for @LBofBromley Environmental Committee meeting on 13 March are good news. However, we feel the nature of the crossing proposed falls short of the safe crossing for all pedestrians, in particular the vunerable - school children and the elderly.

[SafeCrossings4Chislehurst @ChisRoadSafety]

...but the design proposed still exposes children to unacceptable risk and could lead to blaming/less tolerance of those who understandably choose to take the direct route. We look forward to hearing the proposed design being debated at the Enviro Comm. meeting.

Bromley has always made road safety a priority" - LBB Road Safety Review, June 2023 https://t.co/Pz6sx4lC0E

Attention Bromley residents! Write to your cllr and join our #CleanAirDay webinar on 15 June: https://t.co/8m7iGykh03. 50% of air pollution comes from motor vehicles. Fewer cars on roads means streets better for walking; streets better for walking means fewer cars on our roads.

'Speeding pan-Borough' is one of the 'problems most affecting communities' that police will be focussing on, announced Luke Baldock, Neighbourhood Policing Superintendent for #Bromley Borough at the Safer Neighbourhood Board meeting 18 May 2023. 1/n

@BromleyLS @fazza_ @AlisaIgoe @1Jeremyadams @ChisRoadSafety @BetterBeckenham New default #CollisionPlot map shows 'Slight', 'Serious', 'Fatal' collisions for latest 5 years of data, and "access to 42 additional fields for each collision, advanced search facilities, ability to save searches and make notes" with #CollisionPlotPremium https://t.co/knvZpnOV9b

[Alisa Igoe @AlisaIgoe]

Killed or Seriously Injured = KSI
I frequently highlight this at #Bromley committee mtgs held in public, that Seriously Injured category covers those who have died 30+ days after collision
Meanwhile Bromley KSIs continue to be unacceptably high with current 2022 projection of 101
