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.
7 February - Potholes everywhere. It’s a disaster
Before Bexley’s Highways Department laughs too much about
Greenwich’s major road reconstruction collapsing
after only two months they should perhaps look closer to home. The number and depth of serious potholes increases daily.
Goodness knows how our road surfaces can ever be put right. After a bone shaking 301 journey to Bexleyheath
this morning I saw yet another
water filled hole as I crossed Arnsberg Way when the bus once again
dropped me short of the town centre. But that is just
one of thousands of dangerous and inescapable hazards that may be found across Bexley.
Arnsberg Way was
reconstructed in 2013 but Harrow Manorway in Abbey Wood is much more recent.
It was rebuilt, some might say wrecked, as part of the Elizabeth line infrastructure
improvements. (The link will take you to hundreds of construction photos. One example at the foot of this page.)
Unfortunately everything is collapsing already. Some readers may point out that
the road belongs to Greenwich or maybe even TfL, but the construction project
was managed by Bexley Council. It would be interesting if Greenwich or
maybe TfL sought compensation from Bexley for allowing an inadequate job.
