Bromley Council propose to build a 650sq Meter archive warehouse in the Priory Gardens Park at a cost of over 3.9 million pounds. This plot of land called The Depot part of Priory Gardens park should be invested in a way that enriches the lives of the community adds growth to local businesses and economy. The warehouse will be a closed to the public unit that will simply store Bromley's Archives that were once in The Churchill Library. What value is a warehouse to the community in this High Street location. Your signature will send a powerful message to decision-makers about the true desires of Orpington residents. Sign this petition and advocate for a greener, more connected community.
Plans are underway to construct a massive £3.9 million warehouse right next to the Grade II English Heritage Priory Gardens Park in Orpington. If allowed to proceed, this project will not only tarnish the beauty and serenity of this historic site but also deprive the community of a public space that could serve as a valuable social and educational resource.
Instead of creating a closed-off archive storage facility, we could aim to establish a Community Garden Hub. A children's crèche, an educational centre and community garden. Such a hub would provide a place for educational workshops, allow collaborations with local businesses, and enhance social interaction across all age groups. It has the potential to foster a collective sense of belonging, strengthen community ties, and enrich lives in Bromley Borough. It is just an idea however if this proposal gets approved any possibilities like this are taken away.
Bromley Council must reconsider their decision and prioritise projects that align with the community’s needs and wishes. According to studies, access to green spaces can improve mental health, enhance community engagement, and boost local economies. Priory Gardens holds the potential to be so much more than a garden—it can be a sustainable community space that benefits everyone.
