13 November (Part 1) - Just a quick one - or two
Just a little one before the first of yesterday’s Transport
Sub-Committee meeting reports which should make an appearance later today.
Litter Bins
Cabinet
Member Richard Diment has several times mentioned the hundreds of new litter
bins that have appeared across the borough this year although I can only find
two brief references to them on these pages.
One is
hereand here is the other.
My Sidcup correspondent newly released from
his vexatious tag noticed that he
had three new bins within an almost literal stone’s throw from
his smashed front window,
He asked what the criteria were for their location.
The answer was that weren’t any.
“The Council did not produce any analysis to determine where the bins should be positioned.”
Randomly sprinkled?
Bexley Boxes
If our ‘wicked’ (© Councillor Peter Craske) Labour Government did what they should have done with the Winter
Fuel Allowance and means tested it I doubt whether I would have got very much or anything at all. I
revealed here that the Net Zero subsidies introduced by the Labour Government
in 2009 are so stupid that by carefully juggling solar panels, home batteries and cheap rate tariffs I am
paid about £2,000 a year for using electricity. Miliband Madness.
It makes me feel rather uncomfortable to know that I am paid by people who may
be freezing to death so I asked Bexley Council if there was any way an individual
resident could get involved in their Bexley Box scheme. The answer was a
very polite “No not really” and I would guess that the European Union’s
ridiculous GDPR would get in the way.
So I am left feeling just a little guilty.
