9 March (Part 2) - First it moved, then it vanished
A
minor
blog in July last year featured some of the silly cycle tracks in Bexley. The
main contributor was a man who lives in a flat overlooking the waste bin that had been
carefully screwed down in the middle of the cycle track in Yarnton Way, Thamesmead.
He has remarked on it several times since but last week it was moved. If you enlarge the
later photos you can see the mark of its old position. Do we have Boris’s multi-million
pound cycling fund to thank for that? He sent a photo he took yesterday but being a camera
snob I went out this morning to take my own as I thought I should get rid of the the luminous
yellow the camera phone provided.
As you can see, I left it too late. Bexley council took a year to
move the thing, Thamesmead revellers took fewer than 24 hours.
Bexley’s clamp down on taking away ‘side rubbish’ which featured in the News
Shopper two weeks ago is having the obvious effect. Where’s
councillor Tarrant
when you need him?
