Bromley's Streets Get Safer, Greener Upgrade

Bromley’s streets have undergone improvements over the past three years, with residents benefiting from safer roads, better accessibility and improved options for walking, cycling and public transport. The progress is set out in a new report examining the impact of investment from Transport for London and the Mayor of London.

Between 2022 and 2025, 51 per cent of Bromley residents walked, cycled or used public transport for their daily journeys, reflecting continued progress towards more sustainable travel choices. This has been supported by targeted measures to improve safety, alongside investment in walking, cycling and public transport infrastructure.

Cycling has been supported through the delivery of 0.8 kilometres of new or upgraded cycle routes, helping to improve local connectivity and make cycling a more practical option for everyday journeys. In addition, more than 2,200 adults and children have received cycle training, building confidence and skills for people of all ages.

Pedestrian safety has also been improved, with 11 new protected crossing facilities delivered, making it easier and safer for people to cross busy roads. Public transport accessibility has been strengthened too, with 19 bus stops made fully accessible, helping ensure bus travel remains an inclusive and reliable choice for residents.

Work with schools has played an important role in encouraging sustainable travel habits from an early age, with 122 schools in Bromley achieving Travel for Life gold accreditation in recognition of sustained action to reduce car use and promote active and sustainable travel.

Together, these transport improvements show how targeted local investment can make a real difference. Bromley’s changing streets are helping create safer and more accessible neighbourhoods, supporting everyday travel while making it easier for residents to move around their borough with confidence.
