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.
29 January - Green wheelie bin not emptied again!
I rarely produce much rubbish, don’t know why, maybe it’s because I’m not an
enthusiastic shopper so don’t accumulate all that useless cellophane and plastic
but it seems to lead directly to my bin not being emptied. There were only three
Tesco bags of rubbish nestling at the bottom of my green bin this morning and one of those
was only half full. Although the bin was placed alongside those of two neighbours,
mine alone wasn’t emptied, though the bin had been moved. My guess is that a
Tesco bag at the bottom of a bin is beyond arm’s reach and it’s not worth
taking a near empty bin to the lorry and engaging the hydraulic lift; so they take a leaf
out of the useless councillor Davey’s book and walk idly by as he does
whenever he sees a problem or one is reported to him.
A missed collection doesn’t matter much to me though it’s galling that the only
useful service Bexley council provides for my £1,500 a year is the refuse
collection and it makes me wonder how many bins are missed. The last failure at
my address was as recently as last November
so failures are two out of six collections. 33%!
