4 December - Massive investment in Bexley’s roads
At
a time when the road disruption in Bexley has become absolutely horrendous and
due to get worse in the New Year, (Station Road, Sidcup to be closed for a whole
year) it is perhaps not too trivial to query what the Conservatives meant by
their 2022 Manifesto
promise to “invest in services and adopt new and innovative modes of working on
road repairs”. See insert for the unedited version.
Have they bought one of JCB’s innovative
pot hole detecting and instant
repairing machines?
Unfortunately not; the new investment in technology was in dash cams
and a couple of mobile phones.
The bill hasn’t quite reached three thousand pounds since 2022. Probably less than the cost
of following up mischievous FixMyStreet reports from an
under-occupied MP.
With thanks to @tonyofsidcup and his relentless FOIs. No wonder Bexley Council wanted him
to be declared vexatious.
