22 January - Shaping the future of Belvedere
Bexley Council Press Releases would not normally be given blog prominence
although the most interesting ones are always
stored away for reference purposes.
Today’s is however a little bit special, it gives notice that
‘Lower’ Belvedere stands on the threshold of renewal.
Let’s give the pair of liars who run the @bexleynews twitter account something to throw back at me over
the coming months; the redevelopment of the area around Belvedere station will
likely sound the death knell of Belvedere as it exists today.
At a public meeting to be held next Monday and reported here shortly afterwards,
Bexley Council’s Cabinet will authorise expenditure to sharpen up the
plans to redevelop the area and provide over time as many as 8,000 new
dwellings. Few will disagree that an area that has been neglected for so many
years could do with a bit of sympathetic investment.
In other news, a letter of complaint has gone to the Independent Office for Police Conduct about the Chief Constable of Kent’s
refusal to accept an
my allegation of crime. He has a track record for ignoring similar allegations but is very good at
arresting people - three of them to my knowledge - who are wrongly accused of fraud.
As always the expectation is not securing justice but acquiring an excuse even
more ludicrous than the last one.
