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.

10 July - Listening to nobody. Reaping the rewards

Abbey Road accident Abbey Road accident Abbey Road accidentWhen Bexley council took the decision to make this section of Abbey Road, Belvedere too narrow for two buses to pass each other they admitted that the road had not previously been a safety hazard. Expert opinion said what they were doing was a recipe for head on collisions, and so it has proved. It is hard to see what happened in yesterday’s collision but there is glass and bits of car strewn over around 40 yards of road and pavement. It would appear that a vehicle mounted the kerb either before or after hitting another. The blue Polo was possibly rammed at very high speed for it is damaged at both ends and is quite a long way from the likely point of impact, though the camera lens makes it looks further than it is, the actual distance is approximately 25 yards.

Bexley council said that making the road dangerously narrow would slow traffic. A government funded consultant of my acquaintance said Bexley’s design would have no effect on traffic speeds but the reduction in recovery space would cause accidents. Bexley’s plan has been an abject failure. It was approved by councillor Craske.
