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.
1 October (Part 1) - Things that go bump in the night
Bellegrove
Road in Welling and Abbey Road in Belvedere have more in common than both being
east west corridors that used to be largely free of accidents; they were both
redesigned by Bexley’s Head of Highway Services with a bee in his bonnet about
narrow roads and an excess of Keep Left pedestrian refuges.
Both have suffered traffic accidents since they were reconstructed and in
Belvedere a group of residents is getting very agitated about
the loss of their
boundary walls and the risk to their personal safety.
I have no idea if Welling residents have similar fears but maybe at least one of them has.
Fewer than two weeks after his last
accident report he has updated me on developments over the past three or four days.
FM Conway came along in the middle of the week and replaced the lighting column
destroyed only a matter of days earlier. On Saturday a motorist demolished it.
It’s easy to blame careless motorists but with so many accidents occurring in
the same old places, isn’t it time that the Highway Engineer who signs off these
schemes shouldered some of the responsibility?
