Appendix 1C: Costing Information 27 1. Introduction A key priority for Bromley Council is to build vibrant, thriving town centres across the borough. Bromley‘s general satisfaction survey in 2007 showed that there has been an increase in the proportion of Bromley residents feeling that the Council has improved town centres, from 47% in 2005 to 53% in 2007. In the same survey, Beckenham Town Centre was considered a pleasant and safe town centre by 61% of respondents (higher than Bromley at 58% and Orpington at 32%), but only considered a good place to shop by 39% of respondents. The survey also showed that the Council making the area a better place to live in remains an important issue for Bromley residents going forward. Following the recent impact of the economic downturn, the Renewal and Recreation Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee considers it vital to ensure that local town centres are well-supported by the Council and its partners. Working to reflect the high-profile place-shaping initiatives recently developed for Bromley and Orpington Town Centres, a review has been commissioned to consider the offer provided by Beckenham and West Wickham town centres. It is recognised that these historic town centres deliver a wide-ranging offer of distinctive retail, leisure and entertainment opportunities, and have been well- supported by strong public transport links and the targeted activities of local business and residents associations. This working group understands the value that these town centres bring to Bromley and its residents, and has identified a number of practical and wide- ranging recommendations to support the ongoing delivery of a strong town centre identity and quality offer for all local residents, traders and visitors to the borough. I commend the excellent contribution made by local residents, traders and service providers in Beckenham and West Wickham Town Centres and thank my colleagues and the officers supporting the review for their work and for reaching the conclusions and recommendations outlined in the following pages. Councillor Michael Tickner Chairman of the Working Group 4 2. Reasons for Review and Terms of Reference 2.1 At its meeting on 14th October 2008, the Renewal and Recreation Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee identified the need to ensure Bromley‘s town centres were well-supported during the economic downturn. 2.2 The Council‘s ‗Building a Better Bromley – 2020 Vision‘ (2009) policy states: ―The distinct characteristics and heritage of the Borough‟s town centres, villages and other communities are protected and make Bromley the most attractive place to live, work and do business in London and the South East. Bromley retains its unique „sense of place‟ – green, open spaces, easy access to work, leisure and cultural pastimes and a well-designed low-density built environment‖. 2.3 Members of Renewal and Recreation Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee identified the advantages of looking at two town centres for comparison purposes, and it was decided to centre the review on Beckenham and West Wickham Town Centres, aiming to develop practical, achievable and costed recommendations that would support the excellent work already being taken forward by the Town Centre Managers for these areas. 2.4 The agreed Terms of Reference for the Review were: ―To identify and scrutinise factors which particularly affect the economic sustainability of Beckenham and West Wickham Town Centres and suggest costed action proposals.” The Working Group in discussions about the Town Centre Street Scene at West Wickham Library 5 2.5 The following witnesses provided evidence to the review: Nicholas Babb, Greenspace Officer, Bromley Council Chloe Bish, Bromley Youth Council Representative Sergeant George Blair, West Wickham Safer Neighbourhood Team Paul Brivio, Bromley Mytime Tom Clements, Bromley Youth Council Representative PCSO Nikki Crocker, Copers Cope Safer Neighbourhood Team Iain Forbes, Head of Transport Strategy, Bromley Council Sergeant Dave Harvey, Copers Cope Safer Neighbourhood Team Steve Leigh, Bromley News Shopper Pete McCready, Head of Area Management, Bromley Council Barry McDonald, Bromley Youth Council Representative Mary Rose McMahon, General Manager – Spa Leisure Centre, Mytime Mary Manuel, Head of Local Economy and Regeneration Service, Bromley Council Peter Martin, Head of Heritage and Urban Design, Bromley Council Patrick Phillips, Assistant Director: Parks and Green Spaces, Bromley Council Jo Ridge, Area Manager – Street Services, Bromley Council Johnny Sanders (PCSO), West Wickham Safer Neighbourhood Team Peter Turvey, Head of Street Environment, Bromley Council 6 3. Background Local Economy 3.1 The level of economic activity in Beckenham and West Wickham is generally high, and there is a high level of self-employment. Educationally there is strong attainment at GCSE and A Level. 3.2 The proportion of Jobseekers Allowance claimants across the borough is 3.4% (August 2009), which is 0.5% lower than the South London average, and unemployment tends to be for a period of less than three months. Across Beckenham and West Wickham Town Centres, unemployment amongst the resident working age population tends to be lower than the Bromley average, with West Wickham ward having a proportion of 2.1%, Copers Cope, 3.2%, Kelsey and Eden Park, 2.6% and Clock House, 3.4%. 3.3 The highest level of vacant commercial premises in Bromley is in the west of the borough, including Beckenham, Penge and Anerley and Crystal Palace areas. 3.4 The Council‘s 2001 ‗Town Centre Healthchecks‘ summary concluded: “Each town has different strengths and difficulties and their relative prosperity is determined by: size quality of attractions amenities accessibility levels of public safety employment opportunities the spending power of visitors” Transport 3.5 Beckenham and West Wickham Town Centres are well-served with buses and trains. Beckenham also has the benefit of the Tramlink to Croydon and Wimbledon. The Mayor‘s Transport Strategy is currently under development. 3.6 Traffic is well-managed in these town centres, with a range of on and off-street car parking being provided. 3.7 Issues identified by the group include developing the close working relationship between Transport for London and Bromley, the consideration of frequency and coverage of public transport provision, and a move toward the use of shared space where appropriate. 7 Leisure 3.8 Mytime provision across Beckenham and West Wickham Town Centres is concentrated in the Spa Leisure Centre and West Wickham Leisure Centre. These centres offer a wide range of activities for different ages and are well-used. Additional services are provided at Beckenham Public halls, and dual-services delivered with Cator Park School and Langley Park Girls School. 3.9 Issues identified by the group include the support of leisure users through provision of strong public transport and car parking facilities, the promotion of the leisure offer as part of the whole town centre offer, and the role of Mytime as a leading local business. 3.10 Library provision is strong across the town centres, with a district library in Beckenham Town Centre located close to the Spa Leisure Centre and The Studio, and a neighbourhood library based in West Wickham Town Centre. These libraries offer a range of services, including free IT access, the loan of books, CDs and DVDs and events for a range of ages. 3.11 Issues identified by the group include the opening hours of these library facilities and the linkage of library events and provision with town centre businesses and activities. Planning 3.12 Beckenham and West Wickham are classified as District Town Centres in Bromley‘s Unitary Development Plan. 3.13 The character of town centres is maintained through a restrictive policy on primary frontage, which ensures a strong retail presence. There is an issue around the size of available retail units in attracting larger retailers. 3.14 Beckenham Town Centre has developed a strong bar and restaurant culture over the years, leading to a potential issue over the number of licensed premises. West Wickham maintains a balance between retail establishment and restaurant provision. 3.15 Issues identified by the group include the drafting of the Local Development Framework Core Strategy, which demands a distinct vision for each town centre in the borough.

  • West Wickham Closure GENH2104IAFEB21H
    Understanding your branch closure Santander, 30 High Street, West Wickham BR4 0SN This branch will be closing at 4pm on 15 July 2021. We’d like to explain why, and help you understand how you can continue banking with us. Background to our approach Our customers are continuing to change the way they manage their money. As well as using our branches, many more of our customers find it convenient to do their day-to-day banking using Online, Mobile or Telephone Banking. As a result, customers are visiting our branches much less. This change has been happening over a number of years now and has accelerated in recent times. Due to these changes, we have carefully and thoroughly reviewed the way we develop our services for customers and considered many factors, including where each of our branches are located and how they are used. We know our branch network remains very important to our customers. Whilst we have made the difficult decision to close some branches, we have only done so where we know there are other facilities our customers can use and where we have another Santander branch within a few miles. As part of this review, we have assessed each branch individually to consider the potential impact for our customers, colleagues and the alternative options available to bank locally. We hope this leaflet helps to provide more information about our decision to close West Wickham branch, the alternative ways to continue to bank with Santander and other local banking services available. Adam Bishop, Head of Branch Interactions Branch assessment Before reaching the decision to close West Wickham branch, a full review of the branch was undertaken, including: ¡ The way our West Wickham branch customers are ¡ The availability of alternative ways to bank with choosing to bank with us.

  • The Owl Prowl Continues!
    The Owl Prowl Continues! Report of Pilot Survey A tawny owl survey was carried out this autumn in the London Borough of Bromley under the leadership of Bromley Biodiversity Partnership, in particular by Bill Whitaker of the OFC. 59 records were submitted by 33 people from many parts of the borough. Tawny owls were recorded in about 17 areas: High Elms & the Cudham Valley, Darrick Wood area, Marvels & Elmstead Woods, between Elmstead Wood and Chislehurst & Walden Road Recreation Ground, between Chislehurst & Walden Road Recreation Ground & Chislehurst Golf Course, Chislehurst Golf Course itself, Old Hill/Lubbock Road area, Chislehurst, Sundridge Park, Kemnal Road, Chislehurst, the St Pauls Cray Road area, Hawkwood Estate/Petts Wood, Scadbury Park, Hayes, near Bromley South, Kelsey Park, Beckenham, Crofton Woods and south of Biggin Hill. The records clearly show recording effort, with no records for several areas where owls are very likely to be present such as West Wickham and Keston Commons and hardly any records for areas of open countryside to the south and east of the borough where fewer people live. The almost complete lack of records from these areas and the peripheral wards of LBB to the east, south east, south and south west are also likely to be due in part to the fact that we were unable to communicate effectively with residents in these areas before the survey commenced. Within the larger areas where recordings were submitted there are probably several tawny owl territories, for example within High Elms Country Park and along the Cudham Valley. In well populated areas, for example within Chislehurst, there is likely to be some duplication of records, but the large number of tawny owl records for Chislehurst and its surroundings (Chislehurst Common, Chislehurst Golf Course, Petts Wood, Scadbury Park, Elmstead and Marvels Wood, Sundridge Park and Chislehurst & Walden Road Recreation Ground, together with gardens between), may also reflect the importance of good connectivity between areas rich in biodiversity within an urban area.

  • WEST WICKHAM CHURCH, AS SEEN from WICKHAM Col'bt
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 16 1886 ( 277 ) NOTES ON THE PAEISH CHURCH OF WEST WICKHAM. BY GEORGE CLINCH (Off THE LIBKABY, BRITISH MUSEUM). THE parish church of West Wickham, dedicated to St. John Baptist, is pleasantly situated upon the rising ground near West Wickham Court, about half a mile from the village. It consists of a nave, chancel, Lady chapel, north aisle, south-western tower, and vestry. The shape is somewhat odd, owing to the north aisle being at right angles with the nave, but the antiquity of the chancel and the little Lady chapel which adjoins it, as well as the beauty of the old stained- glass windows and the external scenery and surroundings, amply atone for any little defect in the ground-plan. With the exception of the chancel and Lady chapel, the whole of the church was rebuilt or much altered in the year 1844. The dimensions are, roughly, as follows: Interior measurements—Nave, 34 feet 1 inch by 21 feet 6 inches; north aisle, 27 feet 8 inches by 24 feet 4 inches ; western recess, 9 feet 10 inches by 4 feet 6 inches; chancel, 28 feet by 19 feet; Lady chapel, 28 feet by 12 feet. Tower (porch), 11 feet 10 inches square; vestry, 8 feet 8 inches by 9 feet. Exterior measurement—Tower, 19 feet square; 48 feet high. The oldest parts of the structure—'the chancel and Lady chapel— seem to date from about the year 1467 ; and, as far as I have been able to observe, there do not seem to be in the architectural remains any traces of earlier work, although the existence of an earlier church is well known, and indeed is testified by the monuments in the present edifice and by early records.
