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 August (Part 3) - BexleyCo : The borough’s biggest failure

Cloud cuckoo landBexleyCo has been going for eight years and so far managed to provide 88 new houses on a total of only two sites. It was originally promised £120 million by Bexley Council over three financial years. £30,703,000 in 2017/2018 followed by £69,020,000 and £19,900,000. It never happened but they took about £8 million last year and £3 million so far this year.

Despite the unfulfilled promise dating back to the beginning of BexleyCo, Bexley Council is aiming higher for the next four years. £35,391,000 in loans for 2025/26 and then £45,883,000, £47,056,000 and £30,000,000.That’s £358 million. This year’s Council Tax will raise about £150,000,000. You might think these are fantasy figues but they come from a Bexley Council Freedom of Information response.

I have a feeling that BexleyCo will not survive a Reform UK takeover.
