2 March (Part 1) - Little action, no plan
Before getting into today’s subject, two little comments…
The neglected paper bin opposite my house was emptied yesterday
and it has been left facing the right way. Good, because I
have accumulated rather too many Amazon boxes in recent days. And that Ukraine
flag on the banner may have caused the odd bit of bother. The years old code that overlays
images on the banner assumed they would be square and the flag isn’t. A new
bit of code was added to cope with it.
Unfortunately some browsers, Firefox on my PC and Chrome on the mobile, picked up the new image OK but ignored the new
code resulting in the flag overflowing into the Menu area. If a page refresh doesn’t
fix it you may have to play with clearing some history.
At Monday’s Public Cabinet
Meeting David Leaf found time to take a dig at Councillor
Nicola Taylor (Labour, Erith) for her non-stop campaigning for the homeless which seems like
an excuse to return to the subject.
In recent days and weeks Cabinet Members Gower, Leaf, Munur and O’Neill have all
claimed in various ways that the housing situation in Bexley is good. Cafer Munur in particular.
He denied that Bexley had failed the Government’s Housing
Delivery Test; so in case he is still in denial, and I will confess the gov.uk
site doesn’t make things easy, here is a section of the list of failures. Bexley
is not the worst but maybe it will shake Councillor Cafer Munur (Conservative,
Blackfen & Lamorbey) out of his complacency.
It is Bexley’s ostriche like tendencies which have led to it being a high cost borough in decline.
