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 - Phone parking scrapped?
No, but you might think so if you kept an eye on what Bexley council is
spending our money on. The most recently available over £500 expenditure
list (November 2011) shows nearly £3,500 was paid to a company called Recresco
Ltd. in respect of “Cashless Parking”. Recresco specialises in refuse disposal
and recycling. Possibly all the phone parking notices are going for scrap but
more likely it is an error. As stated yesterday the list is barely worth looking at.
Nearly £102,000 was paid to the City of London. Not for any tangible service but
for “Miscellaneous Services”. Very informative I am sure. Probably not what Eric
Pickles had in mind when he asked councils to be more transparent over their expenditure.
