Campaigns Meeting 26.01.2012 at St Cecilia’s.

Today’s meeting held at St Cecilia’s involved Steve Lee (Local Campaigns Co-ordinator London/Kent) from Leonard Cheshire Disability starting the meeting with some basic Politics Training. The group decided that they would benifit with a basic overview of how the government works in regards to the structure of who influences who and the different roles of people.

He explained our Local Council starting with the Executive working down through the lines of influence and communication.

This will help the group to continue with their current campaign which is to slow the traffic down on Sundridge Avenue in Bromley.

So far the group have written to our 3 local councillors. Cllr Colin Smith did reply telling us of all the things the Council are considering to put in place to help slow traffic down. This was in July 2011.  Chairperson John Kennedy wrote again in September 2011 asking for news on any further developments or decisions made. The group has heard nothing further since.

On the 20th October 11 the group had a petition day where members got people to sign our petition by canvassing on Sundridge Avenue, we collected a lot of signatures from students from the local schools and we knocked on local residents doors though due to the time of day there were few people available to sign.

Bullers Wood School were contacted to highlight our campaign with them for support.

The group are now in the process of deciding what the next steps should be. This will include contacting other people who may want to support us in our campaign.
