21 October (Part 1) - Bexley broke?

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the likely consequences of the many Covid Cock-ups you may already be depressed by what the future holds. One set of politicians trying to shift the blame to the other helps no one. It’s no wonder the suicide rates are up and in my case thoughts turn to moving out of London. A Congestion Zone on our doorstep will finish off London as a thriving City if the bus Lanes and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods haven’t succeeded in doing so first. Some people seem to think that is what it is all about.

TweetThere is a Council Audit meeting in Bexley this evening and no one is better at spinning bad news than @bexleynews on Twitter. It will be interesting to see how they spin the situation the Council has landed us in.

Two years ago when there was another independent report on Bexley, the spin was that financial management was strong while the spinners hoped that no one read to the end of the document where it said that “tens of thousands of hours of officers’ time is taken up annually achieving nothing in the way of positive outcomes”.

Since then the Finance Department has been taken over by immigrants from Barnet and Newham, some would say rejects, and we now “have no detailed plans” and it is “evidence of weakness in proper arrangements for planning finances effectively”.

And that is all pre-Covid!

Looks like proof that all the anonymous messages that came from Bexley’s Finance Department earlier in the year were true.
