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.
28 November (Part 2) - 7 m.p.h. to Sidcup
Today’s trip to Bromley was the worst in recent memory. Bexley Council, only
three weeks after reopening Sidcup High Street, has allowed the junction outside
the closed StoryTeller cinema to be dug up and coned off.
The roads were gridlocked for miles around. Including the Brampton Road diversions I clocked 6·9 miles to the cinema
in exactly 59 minutes.
The whole journey was 10·7 miles in 77 minutes. The cost to the economy of
Bexley’s rubbish roads must be enormous.
On Monday I was forced to a standstill about 80 yards north of the A2 flyover on
the northbound carriageway of the Danson Underpass and couldn’t help noticing a two inch deep pothole. It
was still there today. Where is Daniel Francis MP when you need him?
Another feature of my trips to Bromley is that every journey is marred by a
broken down bus. This evening it was an 89 outside the Crook Log sports centre
blocking the lane into Brampton Road. The 89 is diesel powered but the electrics
do not appear to be any better.
