20 January (Part 2) - From three screens to three emails
Story Teller
I don’t think it is on their website yet but
The Greenwich Wire has picked up on
the Sidcup cinema story. To their subscribers they reported “On Monday, I asked
Bexley Council and Really Local Group what on earth was going on. Bexley didn’t
respond and has stayed schtum throughout. RLG, however, has now appointed a PR
company to deal with queries. We were promised statements on Tuesday, then
Wednesday, then Thursday. And then nothing at all on Friday.”
Bonkers has been given some, let’s just say comments, about the situation and promised more if I
provide an email address and included a code
word to indicate I’d be happy to receive them but the word was not easy to work into a blog so it didn’t get done.
I don’t often have an excuse to refer to Roman ships powered by oars - or kitchens for that matter.
I submitted an FOI on the subject a week ago to see if Bexley Council has been silly or not.
He’s back!
Complaining about Councils is mainly an old man’s game and I sometimes think
about my regular contributors who are no longer with us. I can reel off nine
names without really thinking about it, there may be more.
One who I knew wasn’t dead but not been heard of in ages crawled out from under his hideaway at the weekend. Do you remember Olly
Cromwell whose investigations frightened Bexley Councillors even to the point of
beating him up? They did it both within the Civic Offices and as he exited a hospital at a
time when they had a great number of secrets that required a very heavy lid on top. Nobbling
the police, lying in court, signing false statements; they would stop at nothing.
Well the man is back with
a political blog and I wish Harlow Council the best of
luck. They may very well need it once John gets up to speed.
Difficult emails
There have been several recently. Bonkers is not really the right place for
reporting domestic abuse or planning irregularities but I will look into them as
far as I am able. Assuming, that is, the senders respond to further probing.
I referred to another strange message a few weeks ago about which I have with
some difficulty uncovered a few facts. It doesn’t go as far as I had hoped but
it is pretty shocking stuff, albeit from long ago. I am hopeful that the
established facts can go on line tomorrow.
