24 December (Part 3) - Wrapping up
95a Woolwich Road
It’s fewer than three months since Bexley Council
refused to allow Mr. Singh to
extend his property in Woolwich Road. It was “unsympathetic” but he is back
already. A new plan was submitted last week. 21/03431/FUL
Free money
Within an hour of
news appearing here of
the Department for Work and Pensions giving Bexley Council £1·5 million to hand
out to its vulnerable residents the local Tory propaganda channel was
shamelessly implying it was down to their own generosity.

Be careful. No free Christmas parking
In earlier years Bexley Council sometimes made a gesture towards Christmas by
providing a a day of free car parking to help the shops although there was a tendency not
to advertise it well and allow the machines
to continue to take money. This
year parking is free on Christmas Day when the traffic wardens demand a day off and
no one will want to visit shopping centres. It is not even any use to your
visitors for parking outside your house as it’s a Saturday when residents’
parking is generally free anyway.
On every other day normal rules apply. #thecaringborough
Happy Christmas
I have wondered how to acknowledge and thank the Councillors who have maintained
friendly relations during the past year but one can never be sure if they would
wish to be publicly thanked such are the rivalries that exist in political
circles. For going beyond the needs of the strictly necessary I should be
thanking 55% of Labour Councillors, 100% of the two Independent Councillors and
20% of the Conservatives, a number I expect to increase following the May election.
There is also the small handful of internal whistleblowers. Thanks to everyone
and may your Christmases be free of the Greek alphabet.
