14 February - … and they will take a mile
This week’s Scrutiny meeting reports are being deferred to the weekend when
there looks to be a hole in the BiB schedule and today I am keen to see if I can simply fix the
coding error that has crept into several thousands of pages.
When I said it was
preventing editing, I meant the styling and presentation rather than content. Meanwhile I find myself getting more and more annoyed by Bexley Council
having done nothing to address
the Liz line parking issues. Not an official
word for the past seven months.
Two weeks ago the issue was Bexley’s inconsistent approach to parking in front of dropped kerbs. I
posted images, all taken fewer than 100 metres from home, which Bexley Council
had refused to ticket and others where they had.
It was the same again today. A small incursion into where no vehicle should be
is overlooked and drivers are once again encouraged to take just a little bit more next time. Where does it end?
I have submitted an FOI (call me @tony) to see what Bexley Council’s rules are. When does a minor
indiscretion trip over into £120 PCN territory?
While reporting this one I noted that
the web reporting interface has changed
and I went through the routine twice to make sure I was not seeing - or not
seeing - things. On both occasions it asked if I wished to upload a photo and
after checking ‘Yes’ it simply tripped into the next page without going through
the upload routine. I found that by independently finding the photo in my Android Phone
Gallery and selecting it, Bexley’s webpage accepted it, but it was equally
possible to not upload the photo without creating an error message for checking ‘Yes’ and not doing so.
Thanks to Bexley Council’s inaction and inconsistencies I have now clocked up
eleven FOIs but how else can you get an occasionally straight answer out of them?
