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.
The plan was to report on yesterday’s Places Scrutiny meeting this morning but the
webcast is currently screwed up again. If it is restored a report will have to
wait until the weekend. Too many other things to do in the mean time.
We will have to make do with a report from my new friend the driving instructor
who said I missed some
silly redundant signs in Abbey Wood. Obviously a new reader because they were
covered here not long ago.
The bus lane
sign dates from 2000 or earlier when Bexley Council in its extreme criminality phase
illegally installed it despite it serving no purpose. They
admitted in a letter to me that they installed a bus lane instead of double yellow
lines to restrict station parking because the fines were higher. If anyone doubts that
Councils are run by crooks…
There never were any dedicated bus lane cameras and the lane was removed as part of the Harrow
Manorway remodelling pre-Crossrail.
The bus in Photo 1 is on route SL11 introduced last Saturday. I have yet to see
one in Superloop livery although reports say there were four double deckers
parked in Gayton Road yesterday. There is space for only two. No photo unfortunately.
The instructor’s other complaint was that where Harrow Manorway is a single
carriageway it has a 30 m.p.h. limit and where it is dualled with no properties
on either side of the road, it has a 20 limit.
I think the answer to that idiocy is socialism. The Bexley section has a 30
limit and the 20 was applied by either Greenwich or Transport for Laughs. I am not sure which.
