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.
12 April (Part 2) - Long Lane. Short buses
I
mentioned the Long Lane situation on
the Notomob forum
yesterday and said I planned to get more photos of the bus stop. One of their members kindly saved me
the trouble. It looks very stupid even by Bexley’s standards.
When I started this website by criticising the changes made to Abbey Road,
Belvedere, I obtained the opinion of the Senior Safety Consultant at the Transport Research
Laboratory. One of the things I remember from that conversation is “forcing
vehicles into the path of oncoming traffic is a recipe for accidents”. Obvious
enough I would have thought but not to Bexley council. All over town they
produce obstacle courses designed to do that very thing.
Long Lane is a priceless gem of a cock-up. It will require bus
drivers to be more careful than many usually are to get two doors to align with the available
footway. And as for Boris Johnson’s three door monster - don’t even think about it.
