11 October (Part 1) - A whole year of uselessness
You go months scraping around for something significant to report and then
everything comes at once. Attending five Council meetings in eight days takes up
too much time and leaves very little in which to report them, plus
police developments and a disabled resident who needs help but is getting none, or at least
nothing useful. Goodness knows when that one will hit Bonkers.
Meanwhile just a little one for today.
It is exactly one year since I sent off pictures of a persistent fly tipper to Stephen Didsbury
(Head of Waste) and he responded as follows the same day…
And since then not a single word; not even when Councillor Hackett chased him.
A couple of weeks ago I was seriously thinking about abandoning Bonkers, I felt
that Bexley Council was better than it used to be, less dishonest, more
competent and that they may have learned something from their constant exposure
to scrutiny; but then
along came Peter Craske.
How could any sane individual stand there, after I offered him compliments, and tell
me in front of witnesses that he did not know who I was?
His idiocy showed that the thoughts I had about shutting up shop were
entirely misconceived. Bexley Council is not reformed at all and needs to be
questioned at every opportunity.
Hence this morning’s Freedom of Information request. I have asked for copies of
all the correspondence relating to my fly tipping report dated 11th October last
year which was complete with photos and video.
If there is not a damned good reason for why no one came to “advise you on
developments” there will be a complaint made against Mr. Didsbury personally.
Well done Peter Craske, you had a hand in the reason for setting up
Bexley-is-Bonkers in the first place didn’t you? You seem to have done it again.
