  • Volunteers in Child Protection scheme part of the Bromley Children’s Project axed
  • Park security patrols will be reduced
  • Park toilets to be closed
  • Introduce car parking charges at countryside sitesReduce councillors from 60 to 40, but this can’t be done until elections in 2014
  • £800,000 will be stripped from sheltered housing

    • The largest cuts in the borough’s budget in living memory – yet you’d struggle to find any news about this on the Bromley website
