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.
3 June (Part 2) - Zero footfall
The
damage done to Wilton Road by Crossrail construction has been immense, the dirty
and dusty part of the construction phase has long gone but access to the station
remains difficult and a surprising number of people prefer to get the bus to Woolwich.
The road is generally quiet apart from the undesirables who gather outside the
betting shop and occasionally it appears to be almost totally deserted.
Sometimes it is deserted as the associated photograph almost confirms. There was just one
man smoking outside Paddypower at 10:09 this Saturday morning. The £300,000
regeneration project has so far attracted very little additional trade.
I knew the local traders were planning a market for later in the year but a
different one has crept up on me unannounced.
It’s being run by a volunteer group from, I think, the village hall Community
Group. Click the image to read more.
The amount of litter that Bexley Council leaves in the gutter does nothing to make the place look more attractive either.
