Reasons for the decision

This report is to seek approval for the Local Implementation Plan programme submission to Transport for London for the financial year 2024/25. Transport has a key role to play in delivering these MBEB objectives. Projects to enhance walking and cycling infrastructure will be used to improve the public realm of town and local centres, providing a quality environment and creating places that people want to spend time in, thereby supporting vibrant, thriving town centres. By providing attractive walking and cycling infrastructure, residents will be able to undertake exercise as part of their everyday routine, improving their health and reducing the chance of disease. Infrastructure such as benches and improved walking routes help to ensure that older residents can remain active, thereby supporting independence and also promoting a healthy Bromley. Above all, the safety of road users on our streets needs to be enhanced as far as is possible.
