Everyone should be able to safely walk, scooter, bus, cycle or drive where they want to go.
We're installing several road safety treatments around Bromley between Monday 23 June and mid-July 2025.
Street upgrades for Bromley had previously been part of the Way Safer Streets programme, with some of the work earmarked to be funded by central Government via the Transport Choices programme. This funding became unavailable due to the Government’s changing priorities.
This phase of work is funded via the Long Term Plan 2024 to 2034. Other street upgrades in Bromley will be scheduled as funding becomes available, through future annual planning and long-term planning processes.
See the Bromley Transport Action Plan or our Newsline(external link) story for more information about this work.
Transport Choices Programme update
On 20 December 2023, Minister of Transport Simeon Brown advised us that Transport Choices funding would not continue for projects that didn’t already have a signed funding agreement in place.
The effects of this on our projects were discussed at a Finance and Performance Committee meeting on 28 February 2024(external link).
The committee resolved to pause the following projects and assess them for inclusion in a future long-term plan or annual plan:
- Westmorland Cycle Connections
- Te Aratai Cycle Connections
- Little River Link Cycle Connections – Simeon and Aidanfield
- Improving Bromley Roads
It also resolved that the following projects go back to the relevant community boards to be prioritised under the Christchurch Regeneration Acceleration Facility (CRAF) programme:
- Richmond Greenway
- Linwood Roading Improvement
The committee noted that work would continue for projects with a signed funding agreement, or that could be accommodated within existing programmes, including:
- School Safety Linwood
- Little River Cycle Connections – Ngā Puna Wai
- Linwood Bus Stops
