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.
15 April (Part 2) - A correction…
Yesterday’s blog
fell victim to a phonetic error and maybe a minor language difficulty.
It has been corrected but originally attributed the Wilton Road problems to Crossrail.
Further enquiries revealed that Crossrail were originally accused of unneighbourly
behaviour but a representative of Balfour Beatty responded immediately and identified
the culprits as BT - which is where the confusion arose.
When the shop owners were telling me it was all BT’s fault I took it to
mean Beatty. An embarrassing if slightly amusing mistake on my part. I am
pleased that Crossrail retains its local reputation for doing as much as
possible to protect normal life while so much work is going on in our midst.
The telephone exchange is right opposite the vehicle shown in the third of
yesterday’s photographs and due to the loss of part of its carpark to the
Crossrail project was having the remaining space resurfaced. There looks to have
been quite enough room to park the contractor’s vehicles off road, but they
preferred to wreck the trader’s prime shopping day.
The area piled with building materials in the associated photograph - click for larger view -
is the part of BT’s car park that has been ‘nicked’ by Crossrail.
