Better Bromley

A Voice for the Community

We are Better Bromley, a group of civic-minded local individuals who believe in putting our community first.

The Better Bromley team is committed to making Bromley a safer, cleaner, greener, and more vibrant place for residents to live.

We believe in the power of our local community and the people who are part of the community.

We're about localism and taking action to create a better place to live.

We're an evidence-led group of local people who want better outcomes for our community.

Give us your support to help us make a difference.

Translating Words into Action

In practical terms, we organise and support activities such as tidying high streets and green spaces, and have been involved in seeking improvements to places like Herons Lake and Church House Gardens to make them more drought resilient and pleasant for residents. We also work with the local “Friends” group, Council and other partners to secure funding for these kinds of environmental and community projects.

Beyond physical improvements, Better Bromley aims to be a strong voice for residents in formal settings and to support everyday services and opportunities. We have, for example, lobbied for better enforcement against problematic housing, worked with the police on safer streets (particularly for women and girls), encouraged more visible policing in Bromley Town, and are developing initiatives to support local businesses.

Our mantra is "Community first and foremost"

What We Stand for

We are a party of action, not just promises. Our aim is to:

Bring people together to clean up our local high streets and green spaces.
We have campaigned and lobbied for improvements to Herons Lake, Church House Gardens. Funding was secured to augment the silt into an island to make the lake more drought resilient. We are supporting the Friends in their bid for more funding.
Be a strong voice for local residents at council meetings.
We have consistently lobbied the council for more robust enforcement of illegal HMO's in the borough.
Improve essential services that families rely on.
We worked closely with the Police and the London Borough of Bromley to create Safer Streets, especially for women and girls. We campaigned for more police in Bromley Town in 2019, and policing numbers were increased from 11 to 21, including a dedicated Inspector.
Support local businesses to help them thrive. We are fervent advocates of promoting local business to keep Bromley a vibrant place. This is a new and exciting initiative for us to develop in 2026.
