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.
2 November (Part 2) - Crossrail news
Abbey
Wood’s station car park is currently half closed and a fortnight on Monday it will
be shut completely. How that will affect commuter parking in adjacent streets remains
to be seen but so far the effect on the south side of the tracks has been minimal.
The same cannot be said for every nearby resident. The flats to the north,
built only five or six years ago have lost what little garden they had to
provide room for the terminal track. Sold at the height of the housing boom, their
value had already fallen considerably from that peak, enough to be the subject of
an article in one of the London evening papers at one time. Whether the Crossrail effect will
come to the rescue of their owners is debateable.
On the other side of the line a house is being readied for demolition. I’m glad
I live nearly half a mile away.
