BROMLEY'S CYCLING STRATEGY

Decision Maker: Portfolio Holder for Environment and Community Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decision:

The draft Cycling Strategy for Bromley is approved for public consultation.  

Reasons for the decision:

Report ES15008 presents a draft Cycling Strategy for Bromley setting out a delivery plan for improving cycling facilities, promotion, and training over the next three years to increase cycling in the borough. The Strategy highlights opportunities ranging from large scale infrastructure works e.g. major junction improvements on the A21, to ‘softer’ measures such as cycle training and secure cycle parking. By setting out local priorities and ambitions, the Strategy enables the Council to lobby for further funding through the Mayor’s ten year £913m cycling vision programme.

 

The draft strategy has been developed in partnership with a number of stakeholders including the Safer Transport Team, Bromley Cyclists (the local group of London Cycling Campaign), Transport for London, Southeastern, Orpington 1st Business Improvement District and the Parks, Road Safety, Traffic and Transport Strategy teams within the Council.
