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.
1 June (Part 2) - Penny wise, pound foolish
I’m
not sure for exactly how long it has been broken but the democracy half of Bexley Council’s website has been
down since Saturday at least. In particular
there is no access to the calendar of meetings and the Agendas that go with them.
In turn this means that Bexley must cancel all its public meetings this week and
through to next Wednesday at least. From memory I don’t think there are many but
if they go ahead with them it will be an offence under the Local Government Act.
Agendas for public meetings must be made available seven days before the event.
I won’t be complaining but I know a man who probably will.
I could look up the council’s statement on how they would save a lot of money
and get a better service if they swapped IT contractor, but I can’t. Their website is down.
