Beckenham Town Centre Public Realm – Consultation Exercise

The following information has been provided by Bromley Council.

Consultation period

The consultation exercise will run from 2 to 27 March 2015.

Why are we consulting now?

We have reached an important stage in the design development of the Beckenham town centre public realm scheme. Having agreed a set of clear objectives for the scheme, we have developed concept designs to deliver these objectives. This process has involved input from a wide range of stakeholders, including the Beckenham Town Centre Working Group.

We have now refined the concept designs to reflect the ideas and aspirations of people and businesses in Beckenham. We have recently developed a cost plan which shows what is affordable within the existing scheme budget. We have also undertaken a traffic modelling exercise on the proposed improvements to key junctions.

How can you get involved?

There are lots of ways for you get involved during the consultation period. We hope that you will be able to let us have your views at one of the following events or meetings:
