Rangefield Road Cricket club site, could become a valuable community space for Downham and the wider Bromley area. I’m asking the Bromley council to give full and fair consideration, through its tender process, to TiDI Sports Academy’s proposal to lease the site and develop a community sports, learning and enterprise hub.

 As a local resident and volunteer committee member of TiDI Sports Academy, I’ve seen how parks, clubs and recreational facilities can help people stay active, learn, make connections and build a community.

I believe Rangefield Road has the potential to offer more opportunities like these.

TiDI’s vision includes inclusive sports activities, post-16 sports education pathways, adult learning, outdoor learning opportunities for primary-age children, and support for local businesses and community organisations. 

If entrusted with the lease, TiDI pledges to involve residents, young people, families, schools and local organisations in shaping priorities and reviewing progress.

Plans would be developed responsibly and in phases, with attention to affordability, accessibility, safeguarding, neighbours’ concerns and the site’s green character. Any development would depend on the tender outcome, funding, site suitability and necessary approvals.

Please sign to support the potential community benefits of TiDI’s proposal alongside its sustainability and ability to deliver. Together, we can support a future for Rangefield Road where local people have more chances to play, learn, grow and belong.
