Plans to introduce parking charges at Norman Park have been dropped by Bromley Council.
The plans were approved by Bromley Council’s Environment Policy Development and Scrutiny (PDS) Committee on Wednesday 20 November. However, following the meeting, the Council reviewed a lease of the land and has subsequently decided not to proceed with the introduction.
Councillor Nicholas Bennett, Executive Member for Transport, Highways & Road Safety said: "I was made aware shortly before the PDS Committee meeting of the existence of a lease. Consequently, I amended the recommendation at the meeting so that a discussion could take place with the lessee. Having now seen and read a copy of the lease, I have decided that it would not be right to proceed with the proposal. As a public body we must always stand by any agreements that are made."
