People across the country are turning to the Liberal Democrats as the only party that can stop Reform and elect strong local community champions. We focus on church roofs, sewage and the cost of living, not copying the Trump playbook of divisive populism.

It would be good for local government if it came true!! Possible? Let us know what you think! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

To celebrate Bromley FC's promotion to Sky Bet League One there will be an open top bus parade in Bromley Town Centre on Monday. Starting at 12:45pm, the parade will start at the top of Elmfield Road and end where Elmfield Road meets the High Street. www.bromleyfc.co.uk/news/2026/ap...

Our party has announced a plan that would allow councils to give up to £5k for fly-tipping tip-offs. Showing just how serious we are about the issue. Recently the 8th vehicle in six months was seized in Bromley over fly-tipping. Something has to be done! tinyurl.com/mtf64hav

With less than two weeks to go before election day we wanted to remind you of the six main things we promise to do for the borough of Bromley. This includes fixing our streets, housing and policing. See here for more on our 'six to fix' manifesto pledges www.bromleylibdems.org.uk/manifesto

There's only a few hours left to register to vote in the 7 May elections! You have until 11:59pm tonight. For more information/ to register see here - www.gov.uk/register-to-...

Bromley Lib Dems are backing the London Loo Alliance, a coalition of 15 organisations, calling for more and better public toilets in London. We have been asking the Tory-led Bromley Council for more publicly accessible toilets for some time but little has been done. www.ageuk.org.uk/london/proje...

We were delighted to go to the Bromley 'Experts by Experience' hustings to see how we can better support the deaf and disabled people in our community. Allan Tweddle, our Orpington candidate, represented the Lib Dems. The Tories and Reform didn’t even show up, speaking volumes about their priorities

Liberal Democrats are clear: new housing must go hand in hand with new GPs. We will ensure that no community is left overwhelmed. Back our petition: www.libdems.org.uk/development

Sutton Lib Dems have published their manifesto for the local elections in May. It's full of ambition and clear sighted vision for the future of their borough. It shows what a council run by Liberal Democrats can achieve! www.suttonlibdems.org.uk/manifesto

The London Mayor has announced £30m will go to funding at least one late-night youth club in every London borough. A Lib Dem spokesperson has said while the programme is a "welcome first step", "less than £1m per youth centre isn't enough". tinyurl.com/mr2n58nm

Wishing a very Happy Easter to everyone celebrating in the UK and beyond today.

We joined hundreds of Bromley residents on 22nd March to march in protest against Berkeley Homes’ proposal to build 2,200 homes on Hayes Farm. We all owe a huge debt to the organisers. See our account here www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mu0...

We can only assume the Reform Party is jealous of our excellent Bromley councillors, having recently tried to sign up Bromley Town's Sam Webber as a 'paper candidate'. @huffpost.com has highlighted this, noting the party has lost 65 councillors since last May!! shorturl.at/O1vPt

Sad to see Bromley's 24-hour police counter closed on 28 February. Sadiq Khan broke his promise every borough would keep a 24-hour police station. Cllr Graeme Casey said the idea of someone fleeing to the station at night and finding it was closed was "frightening".

It's good to see that work has started on the pedestrian crossing on Homesdale Road; we hope that work will be completed by Easter. Meanwhile traffic is controlled by temporary traffic lights along Homesdale Road, and Godwin Road is closed at the junction with Homesdale Road.

Just a friendly reminder to make sure you have registered to vote for the 7 May elections! You have until 11.59pm on 20 April and can do so here - www.gov.uk/register-to-... .... And don’t forget to have a look our ‘six to fix’ election manifesto for 2026. www.bromleylibdems.org.uk/manifesto

Bromley Council will miss its target of completing more than 90% of 10-day highway maintence jobs in time this year, figures have shown. The actual or projected statistic for 2025/2026 is 49%. It will also miss its target of completing 35-day jobs on time (60% compared to higher than 90%).

The petition to keep the inpatient cancer care Chartwell Unit at the Princess Royal University Hospital has now more than 30k signatures. The move would see haematology cancer inpatients transferred to Denmark Hill, which could pose major health risks. To sign click here - bit.ly/40rcTb6

Bromley Council must do more to tackle empty homes in the borough. Figures highlighted this week show the number of long term empty properties, empty for 2 or more years, went up from 381 in September 2024 to 497 in September 2025 – a hike of 30%. We suggest an officer is dedicated to this issue.

Work on the long-awaited pedestrian crossing in Homesdale Road between Mornington Avenue and Godwin Road in Bromley will start next Monday (16th March). Disruption is expected for up to three weeks with two-way temporary traffic signs in place. Godwin Road likely to be closed for part of duration.

Good turnout for the Beckenham Police Meeting last night. Lots discussed and some great police ops reducing crime. One key message: don’t share photos or comments online (Facebook) about a suspected offender as this can prejudice a future court case so the CPS won’t prosecute.

Well done Beckenham Green Friends. Chloe-Jane set up the Friends Group some years ago and it’s gone from strength to strength thanks to the amazing volunteers.
