Thanks for retweeting this @LBofBromley. Surely the time has come for you to formally declare that there is a climate emergency, and do everything you can to combat it? @FoEBromley @BromleyGreens @BromleyLS @GreenercleanerB all have excellent ideas they would be happy to share!

So, I raised my concern about this tweet yesterday, and how both it, and the link, seemed to be using public resources for political purposes, as well as failing to be even-handed. @LBofBromley is yet to reply 1/n

A proposal to expand inner London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) to London’s greenest borough has been condemned as a cynical tax raid against the borough’s residents ow.ly/sb9i50K4jOX

Given that citizens of all political persuasions agree that there is a real concern with standards in public life, and the importance of ensuring compliance with rules, I would respectfully ask @LBofBromley to consider whether its tweet complies with all relevant rules 6/n

There may be a good answer to all this, which I am sure many people would be happy to assess fairly but, if not, then the tweet and the news item should be re-drafted or removed @BromleyLS @labour4bromley @BromleyLibDems @LiveableBromley @GreenercleanerB /ends

Or that pedestrians and cyclists have to navigate this junction to get to the entrance to Beckenham Place Park?

Governments may be telling local authorities to change the default speed limit to 20mph on most urban roads, but in LB #Bromley our Conservative-run Council is simply not listening. #SlowDown #20sPlenty

“It is illogical for governments to retain a national urban limit of 30mph and then urge all the local authorities and cities to change it to 20mph on most urban roads because the national limit is considered inappropriate!” The case for 20. vimeo.com/653008691

Rod King was asked to present at the Road Safety GB Festival of Road Safety. The presentation makes the case for setting 20mph as a national default urban/village speed limit.

No diversion sign at Lower Sydenham end either. Irony is that a) if a road was closed then @LBofBromley would put in a diversion sign and b) said sign would probably obstruct a pavement! @BromleyLS @GreenercleanerB

@LBofBromley @SustransLondon No diversion here for the Pool River Path between Lennard Rd/Kingsley Bridge Rd? This is not just a local path as it's part of LCN21 and Waterlink Way, so can't expect everyone to know local area or have a charged smartphone!!

This should be all over the front pages. The government's terminating our right to protest, through amendments sneaked into the Police Bill at the last minute. It's the biggest assault on democracy in 70+ years, and hardly anyone seems to know. My column theguardian.com/commentisfre…

The government’s back-door amendments to the policing bill are tyrannical. We should be on the streets in our millions, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

LB #Bromley has 520 miles of roads. What will it take for @LBofBromley to create safer streets for everyday #activetravel? Surely #20sPlenty in residential neighbourhoods? "Speed is one of the main issues addressed by residents in the local area ..." (@MPSShortlands)

Happy #RoadSafetyWeek! It is unacceptable that parents have to form a campaign group just to get a safe crossing - Bromley schoolchildren deserve to be able to walk and cycle safely to school. @ChisRoadSafety parents meeting at 3.15 today, see below. Photo credit: @ashfieldlane

Let's be honest. A truly dismal webinar trying to rescue a half-baked strategy. Nothing short of proper engagement with partners/stakeholders informing a further rewrite of draft #OpenSpaceStrategy is acceptable. And forget about E&CS PDS Cmte rubber stamping it on 17 Nov. 😠

Lovely street party in Woodbastwick Road yesterday. Meeting new neighbours, children playing in the street and live music. But why does @LBofBromley only allow one free street closure per year? @BromleyLS @londonplay @GreenercleanerB
