8 August - Bexley’s answer. A load of Bull
It’s been good to see the News Shopper send a reporter to Council meetings
this year. I have sat near to their young and enthusiastic Tom Bull several times and he was
very supportive when I was maliciously prosecuted by a corrupt Kent Police force.
When news leaked out that Bexley’s
Chief Executive had become disenchanted with
her two year old job he told me that the Council had refused to talk to him
about it, he had put his faith in a Freedom of Information request instead.
My response to him was along the lines of “Fat Chance”, the front page of
Bonkers does not proclaim ‘Exposing London’s most secretive council’ for
nothing. And so it proved.
Tom Bull wanted to know if the table snatcher was working out her notice and
whether she was going with a large (and undeserved) payment.
Gill Steward has been absent from Council meetings for the past month.
Inevitably Bexley Council has pulled down the shutters and gone into the the
full on secrecy mode we know so well.
Tom’s report may be seen here.
The only chance of discovering how much taxpayer money has been showered on Gill Steward will be to examine the Accounts but even then the figure will
likely be lumped in with other outgoings to hide the truth.
