Kelsey Lane remains two-way between Uplands and Wayside where it is closed to traffic. Pedestrian access is maintained from Burnhill Road, Kelsey Square and Kelsey Lane to the High Street. From Fairfield Road to Kelsey Park Road the one way is reversed so traffic drives up Fairfield and left at Burnhill Rd.
  • Paving will continue at Kelsey Square and at the junction with Burnhill Road. This is likely to take another week to complete and a few days to cure before reopening to vehicles again.
  • The parking bays outside Zizzi will be retained for deliveries only. The footway between Burnhill Road and the High Street has been reinstated but is currently narrowed for safety reasons. It is therefore very difficult for wheelchairs and pushovers to navigate. We apologise for this and will endeavour to open it to its full width ASAP.

Beckenham is relatively safe but be vigilant

Our Safer Neighbourhood Teams (for all three wards) report that Beckenham is a safe and low crime area, but have warned of recent incidents that we should be aware of.

There have been 2 robberies over Harvington over the last week. Two or three black males wearing dark clothing, around 17-19years, have been targeting young boys and girls, taking phones and money, a knife was seen by one victim. This was only at 1830hrs. The police are working hard to try and find out who these people are, and will be seen patrolling a lot more than usual over the next few weeks.
