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.
1 April (Part 2) - Be afraid. Bexley Council is interested only in money
There
was perhaps
not a lot of notice but those who do not wish to see Cory
Environmental build four storey structures on ground associated with the
Crossness Nature Reserve were out in force this morning to show their solidarity
over the issue. I counted more than 50 people many equipped with cameras and
binoculars to ‘capture’ the wildlife flying overhead. I was assured that the bird
song was that of skylarks.
It was a beautiful morning with interesting views all around. The river could
not be seen from ground level but the superstructure of large vessels passing by
could be; it is well worth a visit although whether the access points are always
open I do not know.
Most of what you need to know about Cory’s planning application
may be seen on
the Bexley Wildlife website. I was assured that there were downloadable forms
there on which residents can submit objections. If I ever find it I will add the link.
Destruction of green spaces such as this is the direct result of the
Conservative government’s decision to starve local authorities of funds. As a
result Bexley Council is keen to see the borough concreted over in order to
raise more Business Rates, Council Taxes and Community Infrastructure Levies.
Every spare scrap of land is under threat.
It has shown no sign of being sympathetic to the needs of people or rare birds.
Some that inhabit the area are to be found in no more than three or four other
sites in the UK.
The development is recommended for approval and goes before the Planning Committee on 15th May. Be there.
