13 October - Green to have believed a Bexley Council promise

The GreenA combination of rain and masks put me off the trip to Sainsbury’s for both shopping and grabbing a few photos of developments in Harrow Manorway; instead I pressed on with upgrading the format of the old blogs. New improved images where possible and any broken links fixed.

I am getting immune to the lies and very obvious dishonesty reported ten years ago and instead I was struck by a minor item from the end of a Council meeting in June 2011.

The NotoMob had turned out in force because of Bexley Council’s unlawful mobile CCTV operation but the eye-catching bit was the promise extracted by former Councillor John Waters to do something about the silly width restrictor at The Green in Sidcup.

When I had a small car I used to enjoy swinging to the left to get a good straight run at it but since moving to one which is stupidly wide I have stopped going that way as, approaching at an oblique angle, the tyres too often got scuffed. I now add to the the traffic in the High Street.

It would be interesting to know why it was ever installed. The Green is not especially narrow. Needless to say Bexley Council reneged on the promise to improve the situation.

In all the time I have looked closely at Bexley Council’s activities I do not recall any road alteration that has improved the driving experience. If you know of one I will gladly take a look.
