29 July (Part 1) - Oh dear! This looks nasty
According
to the Office of National Statistics Bexley not only has one of the lowest rates
of average pay in the country but those levels have fallen faster than anywhere
else. The UK average is a 6% pay rise in five years but in Bexley average pay fell from £27,535 to £25,792.
I wonder why.
Maybe it has something to do with the Leader of Bexley Council being so keen on
preserving the borough as a sleepy little backwater. ‘Don't let the bridge back
in.’ Yeah right! What an idiotic ambition!
Or perhaps all those Ocado, Asda and Tesco warehouse distribution centre jobs
that Cabinet Member Linda Bailey is so proud of do not pay very well.
