9 February (Part 2) - The pitchforks and flaming torches must have done their job
For Erith’s Riverside Gardens that is. Here is an extract from Bexley
council’s recently published Western Gateway document.
It
would appear that the borough’s last remaining accessible view of the Thames is
to be retained, for the time being at least. My understanding is that this
is not a case of Bexley council listening to residents, more one of them being
unable to find a property developer who thought there was any money to be made
on the deal. Click image for the original document.
Note on blog title: “Personally I think we need to
metaphorically descend on Councillor Teresa
O’Neill with flaming torches and pitchforks, as it would seem that she and her
scheming cohorts are impervious to reasoned argument” were the words used on another
local blog to criticism Bexley council’s plan to build over Riverside Gardens and
repeated here.
Twice.
The first resulted in me getting a Harassment letter from the police and Olly Cromwell being
prosecuted. Both those cases, as they say, continue, but at least Riverside Gardens survives.
PS. Why is a document about an area to the East of London and the North of the borough titled ‘Western
Gateway’?
