The unusual site banners are to bring attention to the fact that Labour activists in Bexley are manipulating Facebook Groups with fictional posters. They deny it, threaten police action for ‘harassing’ a fictitious character and then demonstrate their willingness to impersonate by creating a false Administrator account in my name. The banner on display is chosen randomly from a selection of three, with a fourth bearing the familiar Bexley Council is Bonkers logo.

1 May (Part 1) - A reminder

So who didn't prepare for the first of the month. Meanwhile let’s make do with this…

Which past events now make a little more sense following the revelation that the borough’s most prolific property developer is a high profile Tory with ready access to Councillors including the Planning Committee Vice-Chairman?

Land slipEveryone knows by now that Bexley Council did nothing when the borough’s oldest pub was torn down. They ignored reports that adjacent property was in danger of a land slip and there was no protection from falling masonry for passers-by.

When the Health & Safety Executive took an interest and requested evidence Bexley Council chose not to cooperate and the H&SE had to rely on photographs taken from this website and social media. Incredibly, H&SE had to threaten legal action before Bexley Council began to play ball.

Bexley Council’s own surveyor reported that an edifice constructed in the garden of 238 Woolwich Road encroached on Lesnes Abbey Woods but Councillors quietly overlooked that finding.

The massive concrete bunker was built without planning permission but with only minor modifications it was retrospectively permitted. It was such a monstrosity that the occupants of 240 were forced from their home which became virtually unsalable. As such it fell into the hands of the same property developer.

In Heron Hill the same developer put forward a plan for a new Care Home but it was rejected on the grounds that Bexley didn’t need more Care Home places. Virtually the same plan was resubmitted and suddenly Bexley did need Care Homes. Isn’t that what good friends are for?
