26 August - Bexley. The do nothing Council
It’s
fewer than three weeks since the last report
on Ye Olde Leather Bottle; the Bexley Council approved eyesore and vermin
nest in Belvedere. The latest complaint comes with nine new photographs - always
a nice touch when emails are illustrated.
This correspondent is concerned about the loss of part of the Green Chain Walk.
So am I. When I was there earlier this month the footpath sign had gone.
Bexley Council has form when it comes to illegally removing footpaths to please
their friends.
Bridleway 250 was closed in 2013. They persuaded their friends in the
police - back then our crooked Council frequently worked hand in glove with Bexleyheath Police to
pervert the law - to say that it was a crime hotspot as part of their
justification for partial closure but an FOI to the police revealed there had been none.
No one denies that the developer of the Leather Bottle site is a good friend of Bexley Conservatives. (Photo 3.)
Photo 2 attempts to show what remains of the footpath.
A formal complaint has been sent to Bexley Council…
Formal complaint.
It remains to be seen if Bexley Council will once again prefer to look after its friends or its residents. I know which one my money is on.
