Road & Traffic Information

From Friday the 9th of January 2026 until December 2026 work will restart at Main Road Biggin Hill from the junction of Blackness Lane, working towards the roundabout junction of Churchill Way.

The works will be carried out in 200 metre phases to minimise disruption.  

• Lane closures and multi-way traffic lights will be set up in phases throughout these works.  Traffic lights will be manually operated weekdays during peak times to manage the flow of traffic and ease congestion.
• A road closure will be set up on Blackness Lane at the junction with Jackass Lane/Church Road.  Access will be maintained for residents.  A diversion route will be signposted.  This will be in place for approximately 18 weeks.
• At times throughout these works Thames Water will put parking restrictions in place.  Look out for signs that will go up around restricted parking areas.
• TfL/Buses will continue to run services as normal.

Our Ward Councillors are petitioning the Mayor of London directly to ask him to instruct Transport for London (which is ultimately responsible for road safety across the capital) to install a speed camera in Heathfield Road.  More details can be found in the Autumn & Winter edition of Report Back which is delivered to all KVRA residents.

Please act now and sign the petition at: https://www.bromleyconservativegroup.org.uk/SaveOurStreets

For more than 30 years, residents have repeatedly raised concerns about speeding traffic in Heathfield Road. Despite numerous representations by the Keston Village Residents' Association (KVRA), no effective long-term solution has been implemented. Suggested measures from residents have consistently been rejected by the Council due to limited resources, funding constraints, or competing priorities. Most recently, a proposal to petition TfL for a fixed speed camera appears to have made no progress. 

On Monday the 3rd of August 2026 a fail-to-stop collision starkly illustrated the consequences of inaction. A speeding vehicle failed to stop at temporary traffic lights near the junction with Greys Park Close, mounted the pavement, destroyed a section of fencing, then reversed back into the carriageway and fled the scene without stopping to exchange details with the property owner.

In response, KVRA has now asked Bromley Council to convene an urgent  meeting involving the Highways Department, the Metropolitan Police and Ward Councillors to identify practical measures that will improve road safety. One suggestion made by a Councillor was that residents should park along Heathfield Road to slow traffic!

KVRA is now considering establishing a Keston Village Roadwatch Scheme to monitor traffic speeds, traffic volumes and noise levels, providing robust evidence to support future action.
