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 3) - Don’t forget. No entry to Abbey Wood station from the north
The
dreaded day arrives tomorrow. The Felixstowe Road (northern) entrance to Abbey
Wood station will be closed permanently with the alternative putting between
four and 15 minutes on your journey, dependent on one’s ability to negotiate the
unlit and frequently flooded steps to Gayton Road. Both these failures are
Bexley Council’s, not Network Rail’s.
There is no practical alternative route and the closure risks provoking more discontent about
Crossrail than has been seen before among a generally tolerant community. It may
also improve Southeastern’s revenue collection now that the unmanned exit has gone.
If you haven’t seen Network Rail’s publicity leaflet then

While
detouring along Gayton Road take care to watch out for partially hidden traffic
at the foot of the steps, don’t trip over the tree roots which have broken the
footpath and don’t fall over the heap of rubbish which reappears more quickly
than Councillor Danny Hackett can report it.
The heap shown has been there since before Easter and grows almost daily.
