27 February (Part 1) - If you don’t like my excuse, I have more
One of Richard Diment’s ward residents emailed him about
pedestrian crossings
last Friday evening. On Monday he replied explaining what a Public Consultation
means after the decision to go ahead has been taken. Don’t worry, it is to inform rather than seek feedback.
So Richard’s response is no big deal except that perhaps it is. We have the Cabinet Member for Places
responding next working day to a resident officially labelled vexatious by
Bexley Council. Quickly, politely, comprehensively and honestly. Contrast that to his
predecessor when asked to explain himself.
Following some less than honest comments in the Council Chamber garnished with unnecessary insults
an excuse was offered.
The official Minutes of the meeting proved the excuse
to be a lie so a new one was manufactured. (Hence this blog’s title.) It may not be
totally honest even now but Richard demonstrates how Bexley Council has come a long way since 2011.
Where the Hell is Councillor Craske anyway?
