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.
29 May (Part 2) - Cock-ups everywhere
Yesterday's
piece on Bexley Council not yet paying the Council Tax rebate to 25% of
their 55,635 Direct Debit payers came from a reader who I know to be an
accountant but it has been brought to my attention that both he and I failed to
take account (the last paragraph of the text in the oblique font) of those
residents who do not pay their tax by Direct Debit.
A mistake that one apparently well informed reader wishes to enlarge upon.
He says that Bexley Council received an allocation of £10,952,100 and £5,808,937
has not yet been paid out and I was referred to the government website for
confirmation.
The reader goes on to say that Bexley has been given a further £667,200 to fund
discretionary payments but they have kept quiet about it. Their website does not
make reference to it and there is no acknowledged application procedure.
He says “In a nutshell Bexley Council is sitting on a lot of money that should be given to residents. I hope I
get my rebate before 30th September because that is when the money goes back to central government”.
