7 August (Part 1) - Arresting Sidcup’s downhill slide
With
Bexley council in
close down mode until October, councillors
giving their surgeries a miss, even going to the trouble of
moving house to avoid their
responsibilities, I found myself reading through
the Waitrose petition while scratching around for news.
There’s about a dozen councillors’ names on the on-line petition and a good
number of pleas for Waitrose to do Sidcup a favour by coming to town. I’m not
sure that painting Sidcup as a run down hell-hole as some
petitioners do and then begging John Lewis to help dig it out of the mess is the right strategy, but each to
his own. Presumably some of the entries were more than a little tongue in cheek.
