She also declared interests as the Secretary of the Friends of Chislehurst Recreation Ground and a regular donor to the Chislehurst Conservators. Councillor Stammers submitted a written question to the Portfolio Holder for Transport, Highways and Road Safety regarding road resurfacing criteria and the use of new pothole repair machinery, specifically asking about the economic viability of pothole filling, the selective repair of potholes on Perry Street, and how to apply for new DfT funding for Chislehurst roads.
Furthermore, she spoke in strong support of the proposed pedestrian crossing facilities near Chislehurst War Memorial, emphasizing its significance as a key issue in the 2022 local council elections and highlighting the safety concerns for the elderly, those with mobility issues, and schoolchildren. She noted the danger of crossing by the Memorial and the high number of schoolchildren using the vicinity. Councillor Stammers mentioned that previous attempts to address the junction had failed due to cost or lack of landowner support, but this current proposal had support from the Council, TfL, and landowners. She concluded that while the scheme was sub-optimal,
it would provide two safe crossing points and prevent the loss of TfL funding.
Councillor Stammers also expressed reservations about the Cashless Parking Update Report, requesting it be noted.
