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.
18 February (Part 1) -
We plan on ripping you off until you rebel
A week after Bexley Council announced that it would
whack up bin
taxes every year for as long as residents continued to pay
I cancelled my
Direct Debit. Yesterday I received the annual renewal letter from ‘The Garden
Waste Team’ complete with idle threats about what might happen if I failed to
cancel the service in the approved way.
This is to go to www.bexley.gov.uk/gws
and press the Cancel button. Not wishing to offend against their rules I did
exactly that only to find that the Cancellation facility is only available to
those who have a Bexley Account. I haven’t got one so I sent a complaint instead.
I noted that my expiry date is 25th March even though I signed up for the Autumn
2015 start. Have we really had six months of strikes (and consequential extensions) since then?
£27 in 2015.
£70 in 2024.
The Bank of England says inflation has been 31% since 2015. The bin charge should be no more than £36.
Presumably it makes sense for three (for example) neighbours getting together and paying a maximum of £70·40+£48·80+£48·80
and in effect getting the bin charge down from £70 to £55.
