❗Welfare Fund Cancelled
Vulnerable residents told to go elsewhere.
Last night I attended the RR&Housing meeting where #Bromley Conservatives, sitting in the shiny new state of the art Civic Centre, voted to cancel the £250k pa which helped some residents with essential fridges, cookers & beds.

A busy Saturday in #Plaistow #Bromley checking and reporting fly-tipping and trip hazards on @fixmystreet.bsky.social and a lovely visit to St Mary's Church Christmas Fair which was held in the attractive church itself. Mince pies and mulled apple juice a delightful finish to the afternoon!🎄

I had a cold but enjoyable couple of hours out yesterday with a #Bromley Environment officer talking recycling, waste and fly-tipping in #Plaistow. Good to see the brand new truck in action at our Sundridge recycling centre.

#Bromley's Environment Committee were given 🛑 no info on "no parking fees" lease w adjacent sports club
🛑 no mention of Controlled Parking Zone to protect local residents
