Bromley Area News and Gossip

Discovered a great little cafe in Orpington today (St Mary Cray actually). It's called the Croft Tea Room and is a proper community place selling locally sourced food. It does fry-ups, lunches, sunday roasts, cream teas and more with plenty of veggie options and has a little shop attached too. The food and the service were both top notch.

I had no idea this was happening.... (i've been posting loads of Daily Mail articles recently... what is happening to me :p)

Bromley neighbors despair over 40ft high rubbish mountain | Daily Mail Online
'Despairing neighbours have pleaded for action to be taken to end their four-year nightmare of having to live next to a stinking 40ft high, 20,000-ton mountain of rubbish which keeps bursting into flames.

The rat-infested mix of rotting industrial and domestic waste is said to spontaneously combust on a weekly basis ‘like a smoking volcano’ and has been branded a health hazard by fed up families.

In March, Bromley Council signed an agreement with the Environment Agency (EA) to clear the abandoned tip at the end of a cul-de-sac in St Paul’s Cray, Bromley, south-east London, but as yet no action has been taken'

It is now being cleared
Homes dwarfed by stinking 18,000 tonne waste mountain

Did they even think that whenever it rained the run-of from the heap would be adding toxic waste to our water supply?

But even better than that the mansion house has been taken over by Bussey Building crew. There have been 4 soul nights put on there but I've missed all of them. I also saw a planning permission type thing go up about allowing alcohol to be sold in park grounds, so i think something is afoot for the future for the mansion as a venue. Really hope so

You can now walk inside the mansion pretty much anytime...its open to the public till late. Lovely building
 
was just up there earlier. All i can say is the traffic was backed up hard, with people going two ways down a one way street at one point.... And failing to move in either direction.

btw nice to see some new life on Bromley north high street (where the cinema is). Last time i was there most of the shops seemed boarded up

Interesting news here
Major changes set for Beckenham Place Park
Highlight for me is:
Part of the site is also planned to be evacuated to install a lake and wetland area.
.....
In its ‘master plan’ it stated the desire to use the proposed lake to provide swimming and other leisure uses. :thumbs:

In other news the new ski slip flats in bromely south are total eyesores way too big a building for that area and theres more skyscrapers coming
New 23 storey tower block proposed for Bromley North
 
Hayes is handy for me.

It's opening on Saturday, which is good timing as the New Inn is currently closed.

The Odeon (which became a Cineworld is now closed) Not sure if it's temporary or permanent.

There's gonna be a cinema at that new development off Westmoreland Road when it opens.

Saw this on FB...Absolutely terrible idea. The Churchill Gardens is/was Bromleys own little Central Park.

Wow I remember when they built the churchhill gardens and the open land that was there before! Can't imagine it being a housing estate
