Chislehurst Safer Streets

Working to make Chislehurst safer for walkers and cyclists by asking that those driving in and through our home do so more slowly and considerately

It pretty much said a simple pelican crossing at the WM would be fine. Wonder why they've not fitted one then?🤔

It didn't. In fact, the Council hasn't done an env. impact survey of the junction; nor a disability discrimination survey; etc...

Perhaps they could spend the money they'll save on better cycle 🚴 routes across the Borough?

Then we saw a minute of 2018 confirming that was & remains the truth!

@ChisAction @F1KTA @kscterry @Suraj_Sharma It's actually worse than that! 3,000 signed petition asking @LBofBromley to fit a simple pelican. But at the Council meeting our Cllrs spoke against the idea!! That despite knowing other Bromley junctions were getting what we need, using so-called 'smart' lights🚦 #chislehurst

Great to see that Westminster has completed its city-wide 20mph limits. If its good enough for streets where MPs work, then why not where your children live and learn?

[Chislehurst Safer Streets @saferchis]

@AlisonStammers We know, & thank you 🙏. Maybe next time we get some help?

[Chislehurst Safer Streets @saferchis]

Exactly what should have been introduced on #Chislehurst High Street. Make space for people!

[Chris Boardman CBE @Chris_Boardman]

I completely disagree with that Tom, I think it’s exactly what pedestrians ‘should’ be able to do. And people using the road ‘should’ expect it in urban areas and drive/ride accordingly.

[Chislehurst Eco Community 🌱 @ChisEcoC]

Many congratulations for all those that made this happen 👏

[20's Plenty for Us @20splentyforus]

The International Transport Forum of The OECD comes out clearly in favour of 30kmh limits for cities. Safe speeds https://t.co/Fu7dNBrtu3 via @YouTube

Be nice @willnorman & @Heidi_LDN if could you push it all the way through @LBofBromley also 🙏

[London Car Free Day @carfreedayLDN]

When Milan offered businesses the opportunity to use street space to enable covid-19 recovery process, they received over 3,000 requests! And have established 500 parklets. Could London do this too @MeristemDesign; @Georgia_Gould; @cityoflondon; @peterjohn6; thanks to @demescope

My lad & his first street bike ride today, thanks to the @SunriseCycleway he now wants to ride to school each day 👍🏼🚴🏼‍♂️💪🏼

Going along Riverside is always interesting in Cambridge.
