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.
13 July (Part 3) - The Magic Roundabout. It vanished overnight
Officially
labelled a gateway
the junction of Broadway and Albion Road
has been confusing motorists for the past six weeks. It used to be a roundabout, the new arrangement looks
like a roundabout, most drivers treat it as if it were a roundabout, but Bexley council wasn’t sure.
Approach from the west and you’d see a large roundabout sign (enlarge Photo 1) but go the other
way and you’d get no indication of what lay ahead. At last the council has come
off the fence. The dithering has stopped. It’s a T junction. Albeit one with no
“Give Way’ markings and no legally recognised pedestrian crossing points. But
due to someone’s unfathomable brain malfunction, it just happens to look like a roundabout.
It also looks like an accident waiting to happen.
First photograph (badly) taken four weeks ago showing roundabout sign. Second photo shows
replacement T junction sign and the third, a new one at the end of Broadway. At
least the council knows what the gateway is supposed to be now but it is news to most drivers.
