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.
Was there anything interesting said at the Children’s Services Scrutiny meeting on 24th March? Let’s see…
• The Learning and Enterprise College Bexley has been given a Good (with
Outstanding aspects) rating by OFSTED. (The LECB is an Adult’s Further Education College
with an emphasis on the 19 to 25 year old age group.)
• Families will be supported by ‘hubs’ in the hope that the investment
in co-located services will reduce more
costly interventions later on. Attracting families in need is seen as a
potential problem by an enthusiastic team is in place.
Children’s Centres are in effect returning.
• Bexley Council claims to be a good employer of Social Workers and consequently
managed to retain their recruits.
Well that’s three hours I will never get back.
Various lame jokes and admissions that Councillors like the sound of their own
voices have been omitted. Same with countless
self-congratulatory comments.
Councillor James Hunt did well to absent himself from the meeting; or has the
Leader thrown him off the Committee?
