7 October (Part 2) - Bexley for sale
Bexley council is facing a £40 million black hole and will struggle to maintain its
24th worst position in the London council tax league. Further cuts
and price rises are around the corner and the generously remunerated Chief Executive has been given a
deputy to make sure everything goes according to plan - or something.
Several major sites were sold off to pay for the £42 million pound Palace of
Watling Street, now it is the turn of lesser known property. 26 council owned sites you might
never have known existed have been identified for sale. Nothing very big, the
whole lot only adds up to seven acres and the responsible cabinet member, Linda
Bailey, is hoping it will raise £1,200,000.
Desperate measures but every little helps.
