Nobody disputes that having access to a car in a car-dominated society is good. It gives one access to jobs, healthcare, food, education, social opportunities and more. All we're asking is for people to go one step deeper and ask why access to such basic rights requires buying and operating a car.

I grew up in Jackson Heights in Queens and we still had a car, and our lives got measurably better when we did.

“By not opting for a tarmacked driveway or replanting the existing one, households can help cool their streets, protect vulnerable neighbours and reclaim a piece of Britain’s vanishing green heritage.”

How the trend for turning front gardens into driveways is adding to night-time heat

There’s a growing trend to pave over front gardens.

Another day, another close pass... This is why #Beckenham needs protected cycling infrastructure cc @londoncycling.bsky.social @liamconlon.bsky.social @bromleygreens.bsky.social @bromleylibdems.bsky.social @bromleylabour.bsky.social

PSA: the middle of the lane is *exactly* where someone on a bicycle should be in this situation. Next time you come up behind a cyclist in this position, they're not 'hogging the lane', they're just cycling safely and will move to the left once there is space for you to pass safely #Beckenham

The 7.30am rush hour on one of Bromley's worst rat runs. Residents have raised concerns about traffic volumes, speeding & reckless driving. Yet, Conservative-controlled #Bromley Council won't put sensible measures in place: filters, traffic calming & protection for those walking, cycling or wheeling

Bromley Council can apply for TfL funding (known as LIP funding) for schemes to improve road safety. For the 2025/6 year, £1.7m was allocated to Bromley. Yet, their proposals for 2026/7 only ask for £105k for cycling, covering Bikeability training and new cycle parking. This doesn't go far enough!

Lovely day for a ride - shame about this close pass on Westgate Road, #Beckenham. We need proper cycling infrastructure. Cc @londoncycling.bsky.social @liamconlon.bsky.social @bromleygreens.bsky.social @bromleylibdems.bsky.social @bromleylabour.bsky.social

8.30am on Beckenham High Street during Easter Break. You'd hardly know it's the morning rush hour! This shows how much car traffic comes from school travel. If our streets were genuinely safe for parents & children to walk & cycle, we could permanently reduce traffic for safer streets & cleaner air

School Streets have been a huge success with over 800 introduced across London. So why are there only three in #Bromley? A brief history of Bromley's School Street pilots shows cc @mumsforlungs.bsky.social @bromleygreens.bsky.social @bromleylibdems.bsky.social @bromleylabour.bsky.social

Why are there only three Schools Streets in Bromley?

School Streets have been a hugely successful measure across London to improve safety (1) and reduce air pollution (2) around schools, with around 800 School Streets introduced since 2017. “Th…

Drainage upgrades on Westgate Road near #Beckenham Place Park, were completed this week by Lewisham Council. Parking spaces by the park entrance have been removed, vehicles should be park on Foxgrove Road. 🤞 less traffic, better drainage will prevent the road becoming a boggy mess when it rains

An 'annual' weekend music event proposed at Beckenham Place Park. #bellingham #beckenhamplacepark #licensing #planning

While other London boroughs have been getting on with investing in traffic filters, school streets & cycle lanes, which are *proven* to make streets safer... Bromley Council resolutely ignores residents' demands to tackle speeding & high traffic volumes www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
