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.
12 March (Part 1) - Erith. Suddenly there is loadsa money!
While
the 20 shops owners in Wilton Road decide how they would like to spend
what is left
of the £150,000 awarded by the Mayor (†) for its regeneration, Erith has fared
rather better. Another £6·9 million was secured by Bexley Council this week.
They aim to improve public spaces, roads, footpaths and cycling facilities and reduce congestion.
It sounds good although reducing congestion is not something one usually sees in
the borough. Narrowing roads and restricting junctions is usually their thing.
The Council’s
Press Release
says that a total of £20 million is being spent in Erith; They don’t say where every part of that comes from, perhaps it includes the
cost of changes currently underway in North End Road.
† About two thirds of the £150,000 from Bexley and Greenwich Councils has already been reclaimed by the Councils in fees.
