7 December (Part 3) - Probably untrue then. Definitely not true now
Bexley Council
used to brag that its residents were
the
happiest in London although it is several years since
BiB last noted them doing it.
Bad they may be in 2024 but not nearly as
dishonest as in days gone by.
These Happiness Surveys are not what one might call scientific but in Bexley
that is pretty much the norm, so why not another?
This one is the work of estate agents Rightmove who say that Bexley is close to
being bottom of its nationwide list.
Whatever happened to the proud boast that Bexley was, if not top dog, at least
one of the better boroughs in London?
Perhaps it will teach them embroidering the truth when there are residents
with long memories is not a good idea.
This item came from such a resident who accompanies his news with the
comment “I think we know why. Traffic. Parking. Dictatorship. Poor policing.
Useless Council. Closed shops. Poor trains.”
Is that all?
How come the Socialist Republic of Greenwich doesn’t make the list?
