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.
12 May (Part 1) - They got that wrong! Badly wrong
A couple of years ago
Bexley Council approved the building of a rail freight terminal
in Slade Green. See also the map of the area.
The Labour Group objected and so did some of the more sensible Conservative
Councillors objected too. June Slaughter, James Hunt and John Davey could see
the downside but the upside was the £2,000,000 plus of Community Infrastructure
Levy. The plan went through heavily backed by the Head of the Planning Department.
Fortunately for local residents a tiny bit of the proposed site fell in Dartford
and their Council threw the plan out.
Almost unnoticed Bexley’s Labour Councillors kept up the pressure while the rail
authorities appealed Dartford’s decision.
Last week the Secretary of State ruled against the freight depot saving local
residents the many lorry trips involved and rail passengers the potential delays
of the new access junction.

Press Release is here. I doubt we will be seeing one from Bexley Council.
The developer could apply for Judicial Review so Slade Green residents must keep their fingers crossed for a little while longer.
