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.
26 May (Part 1) - Say goodbye to the bridge that gave the area its name
After
a couple of deferments and a cock-up over planning permissions, Bexley Council
will begin its Harrow Manorway improvement scheme by knocking down Tavy Bridge,
the eyesore that an American BiB reader described as the ugliest bridge in the world.
Presumably a weekend road closure will minimise the inevitable traffic chaos but
Harrow Manorway is the only sensible route into Thamesmead for most people.
Presumably it will deter anyone intending to go to The Link on Saturday for
the Erith & Thamesmead hustings.
It won’t help if the Sainsbury’s pedestrian crossing isn’t fixed before then.
Driving home just after midnight last night it caught me for no obvious reason and this
morning soon after six it was once again holding traffic while nobody was there;
and unless I have gone deaf it wasn’t beeping either.
