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.
5 February (Part 1) - Nothing in Bexley is safe from attack. Budgetary sparrow hawks pounce
Bexley Council has found another way of saving money, they are ripping up shrubs and hedges in parks and verges so that maintenance costs are reduced to zero.
The effect on wild life is devastating, sparrows in particular.
The Bexley
Wildlife website has all the details but a correspondent provides
several other examples. Shrubs close to the Asda supermarket in Bexleyheath and along Arnsberg Way have gone too.
There used to be dozens of sparrows in my front garden most of the time. They all disappeared when
Network Rail removed a large number, maybe 100 or more, of conifers
from alongside the nearby railway line.
The birds were missing for a year but a few came back during the recent cold spell.
