Shortlands & Park Langley Councillors

Update from UK Power Networks 💡:

1 June Today there has been an unplanned power cut.

Please expect power to be back on around 2-3pm. They are working hard to get power back earlier.

Please keep updated on their website. We know customers in the Park Langley area have been affected.

On the last Friday of every month, Bromley FC kindly host a Veterans Hub for all veterans of Bromley (and more, it’s open to bringing veterans from all over!)

Cllr Serena Gupta is a serving RAF Reservist, and went across to meet veterans across Bromley.

The most veterans in any London Borough is actually Bromley. But we want to meet and find them ALL!

So - if you are one, please come along. No need to book. Just show up.

To meet fellow veterans, and people involved in looking after this very special part of our community (and for tea/coffees & baps!) - see you at 11am in Bromley FC on the last Friday of every month.
