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.
Oh dear!
“The only slightly negative comment I have heard comes from a friend who lives
not 100 metres from The Beach. He says the genteel folk from Bexley and Blackfen
(i.e. Councillor Craske) have insufficient idea of
the level of mindless vandalism too often seen in the far flung north.”
I
suppose that Councillor Philip Read will label me a sad old blogger again but those words first
appeared here last week when someone who lives by The
Belvedere Beach reported his fears for the new playground.
According to
a letter in the News Shopper he was right to have concerns.
Already it is “full of litter and bottles” and the new plants are trampled
underfoot. Bottles have been jammed into water features blocking them while
“parents turn a blind eye”.
It should not have come as a surprise to anyone. Perhaps
Bexley’s
litter patrols could take an interest in more than just fag ends in Broadway?
The only thing the letter writer has wrong is that she believes that Bexley
Council paid for The Beach when most of the money was donated by Cory Environmental
who own the incinerator a mile to the north in Norman Road.
The Conservatives criticised the Splash Park for
what they claimed was a poor design (and being built by a Labour administration) which saw
its demise in only ten years. Does anyone seriously think that The Beach will do any better?
