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.

weekend reports said that Bexley’s biggest pothole is at the junction of Blackfen Road and Westwood Lane. Apparently
New Road has nothing on that one but
without a photograph I can only assume that both BiB readers are right.
I am not finding two dimensional photography to be very good at illustrating the depth
of a hole but this is the best one I can find within five minutes walk of home. Not
perhaps for size alone but because of its strategic position; around 30 buses an
hour and on a pedestrian crossing.
As the well weathered look suggests it has been there threatening to trip up pedestrians for a couple of months, maybe more.
It wasn’t safe to stick a tape measure down the hole but it may have breached
the 40mm rule at the deepest spot but what is the mentality of a Council that
prefers to wait for big problems to come along rather than take the stitch
in time approach? Ah, it’s Bexley. Enough said.
On the other side of the crossing the road is severely cracked. Go a few more
yards and there is a hole that has celebrated its first birthday, but it is in Greenwich!
