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.
2 April (Part 2) - Crossrail - A postscript
I found it difficult to understand why
residents around
Abbey Wood station would not know the source of the noise over
the weekend
of 21st and 22nd March. Surely they would have seen what was going on at the
end of Wilton Road, but maybe Network Rail does bear a little responsibility after all.
Their circular to neighbouring properties said the bridge demolition was scheduled for 28th and 29th
and does not emphasise that the overnight noise would be very considerable.

It was dated 5th March and presumably plans are subject to frequent change. The
email notification I received on the 19th March said the bridge span would come down
on the 21st and was accurate almost to the minute. On the other hand it said the
station building would be demolished last weekend and it is still standing.
I have a copy of Network Rail’s distribution list for their warning notices
and I would guess it was prepared by someone who had not taken a good look at
the A-Z. In some directions the area covered extends 600 yards or so from the
station, in others not even 200. Everyone invited to their Liaison Panel has provided an
email address. Using those addresses would at least keep the panel members happy even
if the average man in the street is still able to claim ignorance.
