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.

Good news for all users of Norman Park and residents who live nearby - after the threat of legal action by Blackheath and Bromley Athletics club #Bromley Council have decided to reverse the decision to charge users for parking. www.bromleylibdems.org.uk/news/article...

Charging for parking in Norman Park has been approved by Bromley Council - despite more than 5,000 signatures on a petition. The Conservative councillors voted in favour, all opposition councillors voted against. The plan also introduces charges for blue badge holders.

Bromley Council are proposing to start charging users of the car park at Norman Park #Bromley. The #LibDems are opposed to it - www.bromleylibdems.org.uk/news/article... We are encouraging all residents who are opposed to add their signature to a petition set up by a local resident. gain.
