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.
30 July - Crossrail digs up Abbey Wood again
The Harrow Manorway
viaduct is to become the main access point for Abbey Wood’s new ‘high level’ railway station which will straddle the two platforms and four tracks.
The temporary station was scheduled to open about now but there is precious
little sign of it as yet. Nevertheless, work is proceeding on modifying the
viaduct, the central reservation has been removed; it is reduced to one lane in
each direction and some effort has been expended on trying to maintain the bus
service with temporary bus stops while work continues.
The plan doesn’t work too well when two buses arrive at the same time as was the case
here (Photo 4). Other road traffic is held up while the buses disgorge their passengers.
