21 August - Congratulations are due
As predicted Bexley scored top marks following a recent OFSTED inspection and
Twitter was awash with congratulations from all sides as is to be expected.
Almost needless to say Cabinet Member Philip Read found something critical to
say about the Labour Group joining in the praise for Children’s Services’ boss Ms. Tiotto. Councillor Perfect’s supportive
comments apparently did not come instantly enough to satisfy him.
New Councillor Sue Gower (Conservative, Bexleyheath) has not yet featured on Bonkers but appears to be shaping up as a
thoroughly decent individual who can rise above party politics. No good will
come of it in Bexley I tell you!
Bonkers too came in for some criticism; for suggesting that Philip Read has
done a half decent job in Children’s Services. From inside that department came the following email…
I just hope that people don’t think that Read had anything to do with it. Well done to Jackie Tiotto and the team.
It would appear that Philip Read is just as popular inside his ivory tower as he is outside it.
