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.
18 May - Sidcup High Street. An open and shut case
Hadlow Road is sort of open today, for small vehicles anyway, larger ones would have difficulty turning right without falling down a hole.
Masochists who enjoy chaos and disruption will not be disappointed for long, adjacent Hatherley Road
is to be shut for seven weeks starting tomorrow.
The driver of the black car seen emerging from Hadlow Road wound down his window to say he was pleased
to see Bexley council’s incompetence recorded and added a few choice
words about the state in which the council had left his town.
Not only is Hadlow Road still full of holes eleven weeks after it was supposed to
be fully reopened, various other sites that were supposed to have been completed
long ago are still in a dangerous state. Outside Sidcup & Co. and the gymnasium
the footpaths are still littered with barriers protecting holes in the ground.
On 22nd April Bexley’s Deputy Director for Public Realm said the
work outside the
gym was in progress and would take two weeks to finish.
Approaching Weatherspoons from the East there is nothing to say the footpath is
not open. Right outside their door the conditions are absolutely disgraceful.
Bexley council’s publicity leaflet (from which the text about the B14 bus
was extracted) says that the project will be completed in three stages and their
street signs all refer to eight months of work. The closure of Hatherley Road
represents the start of Stage 2. We are are exactly half way through those eight months.
I have a question…. with four big holes remaining in Hadlow Road and Hatherley Road
due for closure tomorrow, where will the B14 bus go?
