23 November - Hail the winner!
It
is three weeks now since it was revealed here that @tonyofsidcup had
won his Court
battle with Bexley Council who said that they were not going to answer his
questions any more because they were unreasonable and motivated by
self-interest. Far from it, the Judge said he was acting in the public interest and his case
was helped by the fact that some of his Freedom of Information requests are given publicity here.
Yesterday
the News Shopper caught up with the story though unlike Bonkers they chose
not to say who at Bexley Council signed off the unlawful decree. Was Kate
Bonham wrongly advised by the Legal Team or a new recruit keen to impress the
Council Leader? An influential insider says it is the former.
The NS article provoked
a number of comments but the best one was from @tony himself.
If he ever gets to the bottom of the £40,000 catering contract I may get to know
whether my Council informant had himself been misled by officials or not.
As for the £4,000 bollard; maybe I am forgetful, but I haven’t a clue.
You can be pretty sure that @tony will be telling us about it soon.
