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.
1 January (Part 1) - Traffic chaos
Ever since last summer the main thoroughfare across the centre of the borough has been blocked or partially blocked at Crook Log while a gas main is replaced. The diversion for the last couple of months has been via Brampton Road as far as the King Harolds Way roundabout and Long Lane which is a very long way if you are in a vehicle too large for a short cut or don’t know of one. From Tuesday 3rd January Brampton Road is to closed at the Crook Log junction and the work is expected to take ten weeks. It looks like a place to avoid.
