21 February - Just who can be believed in Bexley?
The Budget meeting report inevitably included Councillor Nicola Taylor’s
continuing criticism of Bexley Council’s housing policy; fiasco or disaster depending on one’s point of view.
She said that Bexley had failed the Government’s Housing Delivery Test and the
Cabinet Member for Growth vigorously denied it. Nicola Taylor suggested he looked at the Government website.
Probably he didn’t look but it was an open invitation to take a break from literal
shit-shovelling to the metaphorical and search
www.gov.uk.
Is Bexley listed as a failed authority? 21 Authorities are said to have failed
the housing test with Lib Dem controlled Councils disproportionately
represented. Conservative and Labour Councils share the honours equally and…
Yes; Bexley is on the list. It missed its target by 7%.
Oh dear!
Cabinet Member Munur seems to be ultra loyal to his boss but maybe less so to
those who sleep in shop doorways. Bexley Council says there are none but it is
not what local charities (an a vicar) have been saying recently.
