1 October (Part 1) - Utterly shameless
I get occasional requests to report stories that would-be
contributors believe might shame Bexley Council into action. I
always advise against it. Bexley Council is shameless and beyond embarrassment
and there is always the danger that their spiteful nature will provoke some sort of retaliation.
Now that it is an established fact that Bexley’s rogue developer
is a very close associate of Bexley Council at the highest level
as reported yet again on
26th September, a resident/reader took issue with the too cosy relationship and wrote
to Mayor Nick O’Hare (Conservative, Blendon & Penhill) and his Deputy Rags Sandhu
(Conservative, Bexleyheath) to in effect ask just what they
were thinking of when hob-nobbing with people who flout planning law, Health &
Safety regulations and indulge in dangerous high speed car chases against any
resident who might get in their way.
If the resident had asked my advice beforehand it would have been “don’t bother”.
Councillors Nick O’Hare and Rags Sandhu, once elected, are no
more likely to care about what residents think than any other run
of the mill Conservative Councillor.
The prompt reply from the Council’s tame lackey, Dave Easton (Head of Mayoralty
and Members’ Services) merely said “The contents of your email have been noted”.
Extraordinarily arrogant, pretty rude and utterly shameless. I expect Mr. Easton
was under orders to not cooperate with anything that might shed even a glimmer of light on
unhealthy relationships within their midst.
