Bromley Pageant of Motoring cancelled over Ulez charge
8 January 20
A motoring festival held in south-east London for the past 40 years has been cancelled, with organisers citing the expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) as the reason.
Norman Park, the location of the Bromley Pageant of Motoring, was brought into the zone in August.
Although many classic cars would be exempt from the £12.50 daily charge, "modern classics" bought less than 40 years ago would be subject to it.
A new site is being sought for 2025.
Organisers Pippa and Jason Griffiths from event management company A-ME said they had taken "considerable time to evaluate all options" for the future of the event.
The show included displays of different vehicles
In a statement, they said: "It became clear that Norman Park is no longer an option and any move to a new venue and date needs to ensure that this firm favourite of the classic car calendar has a bright future.
"We have made the very difficult decision to not hold the event in 2024 but are working on plans to bring back the Bromley Pageant of Motoring in 2025."
The Bromley pageant is said to be the biggest one-day classic car shows in the world, and is famous for its one-make section where vehicles of each make and model can be entered and parked together. -
Home Hairdresser - my sister (91) lives in a retirement flat in Bromley. They have a hair salon with dryers but the hairdresser they use is retiring. Several people there won't be able to get their hair done any more as most of them are housebound.
I'm trying to find someone who could do a wash and set under the dryer rather than blowdry.
Does anyone know any who fits the bill? -
Someone else fed up with the parking at West Wickham (unless it's Selsey in disguise) and they've started a petition.

Survey on Bromley at Night
High streets and town centres everywhere are changing to meet modern needs. No longer synonymous with just shopping, they are places where people also go to socialise, relax and seek great experiences. That’s why evening and night time economies are becoming increasingly important in developing vibrant and liveable places.
Following the Mayor for London’s announcement that Bromley town centre is to become one of the capital’s flagship Night Time Enterprise Zones, the Council is looking at how to create a better environment to welcome people after 6pm to use our town and local businesses.
We want to know what improvements you would like to see to improve Bromley at night. To help shape future plans and make our high streets more accessible, inclusive and welcoming, please spend a few minutes completing the survey below.

Rang to book booster jab yesterday only to be told that Orpington is fully booked up until mid November but was offered an appointment on Friday at West Wickham. Opted to go Monday to WW.
-
were being done at the Civic Centre yesterday. They weren't busy so were taking walk-ins too. My neighbour went but he was a week early so they wouldn't do it.

Copied from GP Alliance Hub twitter. You can now book a booster jab if it's at least 6 months since the last one.

Looking for Parents with children of same age
My wife and I really believe that friendship plays such a huge role in a child's life.
Therefore we're looking to make friends with parents with children of similar age.
I decided to not put my son in school this year due to move by summer 2020, so I figured it would be practical for my son to have an opportunity to make real friendships.
If you are interested in meeting please feel free to reach out -
Hi I have just joined and thought i'd say hello. Looks like it's quieter here than it is for my friend in SW London. Hopefully will pick up soon :)
