3 February (Part 1) - Party and poopers
Another correspondent added to
yesterday’s report about Bexley Council’s proposal for
all day partying in Lesnes Abbey Park.
The resistance movement had named themselves SLAP (Stop Lesnes Abbey Proposals) and it was said that the Councillors
pontificating on the subject remained wide awake throughout the four hour meeting.
Independent Councillor Dave Putson told me that he was hopeful of a good outcome for residents.
My
drain problem has not gone away but my neighbour rather aggressively tells me
that nothing but bog standard toilet roll is flushed down the loo. I have
fished toilet paper out of their drain but there are also large masses of
fibrous material like cotton wool. The neighbour is totally unconcerned by the
inconvenience caused to me and presumably a lawn covered in excrement is all
part of normal living to her.
Friends residing in two adjoining boroughs have told me that I was silly to fix
the initial blockage myself as a call to the Council would have brought forth help.
Obviously they do not live in a shit borough like Bexley.
The Council’s website makes it amply clear that no help is available. I
nevertheless filled in their web form and await a response.
As the local Labour party keeps saying, in Bexley the long standing tradition is
pay more for less. A good job that I have as yet not found any rats, Bexley
Council abandoned its pest eradication service years ago.
