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 January (Part 2) - They are all in it together
It’s old news first
reported here in May 2011 but Bexleyheath has a shopping manager.
I have no problem with that, the shops there need all the help they can get, what
with Bexley council imposing draconian 24/7 restrictions on motorists and setting
Parking Zone traps for the unwary. I’m not so sure that he should get a
Bexley council address and a reputed £250,000 a year budget to run the show much of
which appears to go on salaries.
However what raises the eyebrows a little is that Ian Payne, the manager, is a prominent
member of the Tory party whose loyalties lie elsewhere.
Ian Payne is Deputy Mayor of Bromley.
I
suspect the Jan Payne shown as the Contact name for Bexleyheath Business
Improvement District is an error. But you can’t be sure in Bexley, it could be a
wife or daughter. Stranger things have happened.
Where else do you get
a Director and his Deputy being a married couple
and 20% of councillors being married couples (civil partnerships unknown)?
The Head of Human Resources is Nick Hollier and the Highways Manager is Jo Hollier.
Who looks after her personnel files?
For councillors and the senior staff the council is a nice little earner.
