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.
20 January - We have bins (and pots!)
The
news is that Bexley Council has begun to distribute
replacement kitchen waste
bins more than two months after they allowed their stock to run out. It is
said that they - or at least one - are of the old flimsy design of which the foxes are especially appreciative.
Another report says that Bexley is Pothole Central and provides a link to
the
News Shopper’s virtually unreadable website to support the claim. The comments
section of that purveyor of non-news says that Greenwich deals with the problem more effectively
than Bexley and that I am responsible for the situation because I drive an electric car (which is 1078
kilograms lighter than a Land Rover Defender).
I am not aware of any big pothole in Bexley but then I am not particularly well
travelled within the borough. The bottom end of Knee Hill where it joins Abbey
Road and Wilton Road leading to the Liz Line station takes a pounding partly
because of the 90 degree bend and something like 64 buses an hour. It has been a mess for years, patched
occasionally and is half in Greenwich. The two Councils should get together and fix it properly.
Note: Replacement bin is not as pictured, that is my original issue, never used and retrieved
from the roof space specially for its photographic debut. For the record,
my neighbour’s missed bin
is now overfilled and still standing forlornly on the footpath eight days later and awaiting its
red tag for no longer having a closed lid.
