26 January - Fourteen FOIs

There won’t be much time for blogs today because of a daytime FOI conference and this evening there is a Public Cabinet although the democrats are planning to chuck the public out so I may get an early night.

A subject up for discussion is the imminent destruction of youth services, they call it a redesign. The Scouts will lose £49,000 and Danson Youth Service £89,000 and the total cuts will be over £300,000. Teresa O’Neill issued an excuse note a week ago.

Further down the Agenda I see that Slasher Griffin is planning to throw her colleagues to the wolves and take the top job herself. That’ll be an awful lot of five and six figure pay offs and a 4% council tax increase to pay for them.
Cuts
Behind that smiling exterior lies a ruthless chain saw operative.

Believe it or not there are Code of Conduct related FOIs that have not yet been reported; I think that brings the total to fourteen.

 

This is not the original blog but a replacement for the closing paragraphs.

This blog referred to a Council web page which was withdrawn in January 2025 following legal threats against Bexley Council and without it the original Bonkers blog has little purpose.

An archived copy remains available to legitimate enquirers.
