3 April (Part 2) - Bexley council. Vindictive, spiteful, criminal
Last
weekend someone asked for more details of what Bexley council is intent on doing to Mr. & Mrs. Grootendorst
down in Sidcup so I thought you might like to see some more photos.
What the council is doing is plain enough; they are trying to make the Grootendorst’s lives a misery
and creating enormous legal bills by claiming their garden is untidy and causes a loss of amenity to
their neighbours. Why they are doing it is harder to fathom.
Mrs. G. is a long term complainer about Bexley council which I
know from my own experience the council thinks is criminal activity. Mrs. G. believes it is
something even more sinister and that one of her neighbours has a very
close link with certain councillors; she says that her local threesome refuse to
talk to her and she singles out the Beckwiths for special mention. It’s hard to
tell from a distance whether she is justified in her suspicions or not.
One
thing that is obvious is that the Grootendorsts are on the receiving end of
special treatment. Just a couple of minutes walk from their home you can see a
really derelict garden, but no one does anything about that.
And who else do you know getting special attention from the top people from
Environmental Health (John Waring) and the council’s solicitor Guy Atkins? It’s
victimisation on the grand scale!
The
most recent development is that the council claims to be getting complaints from
Mrs. G’s neighbour alleging that the building development work is causing a
nuisance; building work usually does, however Bexley council is seizing their
opportunity to persecute the Grootendorsts again. They have told them they
intend to descend on them en-masse once more to see if she is committing
another imaginary offence. The more one hears about this case the more one is inclined to
believe Mrs. Grootendorst’s story that someone somewhere is able to pull Bexley council’s string.
Photos of building materials stored in the front garden and under the car port.
Nothing much out of the ordinary there.
