Your Bromley BID is celebrating five years' worth of improvements and achievement, working alongside local business in the area.

A spokesperson for the BID said: "We have delivered great improvements for Bromley Town Centre and our businesses trading here.

"None of the initiatives below would be possible without the BID, and without a majority ‘yes’ vote, will not continue.

"In addition to keeping environmental and security services running, a yes vote will see a continued commitment to supporting and promoting the businesses of Bromley through on and off line COVID secure marketing":
