The unusual site banners are to bring attention to the fact that Labour activists in Bexley are manipulating Facebook Groups with fictional posters. They deny it, threaten police action for ‘harassing’ a fictitious character and then demonstrate their willingness to impersonate by creating a false Administrator account in my name. The banner on display is chosen randomly from a selection of three, with a fourth bearing the familiar Bexley Council is Bonkers logo.
22 February (Part 4) - Stepping back from the brink
I
didn’t even have to call him,
Mick was on
the phone immediately, but Foxy wasn’t there. He spoke to a lady in his
office and followed up with an email. Shortened version…
It is my understanding that the agenda for any public meeting must be
published five clear working days before that meeting takes place.
This means a full week plus a working day.
The agenda for the above meeting only went online this afternoon, when it
should have been published on Friday 15th February, 2013.
This means that the Public Cabinet meeting scheduled for Monday
25th February, 2013, cannot legally take place. If it does, it will render the
person responsible liable, on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding £200.
He received neither an acknowledgement nor a call back as requested but by early evening the
council’s web announcement for 25th February had reverted to that on display earlier in the week
and as reproduced earlier. The Agenda is no longer available
as a link from that page and the
Calendar of Meetings
has been amended to that shown above. I expect the revised Agenda will be on line before next
Monday or strictly speaking there won’t be a clear five days before the next meeting.
Presumably Mick Barnbrook can look forward to the leader of the council’s grateful
thanks for guiding her away from conducting an illegal meeting. Now what am I
going to do for a blog next Tuesday?
