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.
10 March (Part 2) - Shortest ever Scrutiny meeting report
I half listened
live to last night’s Children’s and Adults’ Services Scrutiny Committee meeting
and didn’t note a single thing that I considered to be of interest to readers so
I listened intently again this afternoon.
There were two things maybe worthy of comment.
Councillor Eileen Pallen (Conservative, Bexleyheath) asked how much is being spent on domiciliary care.
Answer about £18 million a year. Then she reported residents with relatives in
care homes no longer being able to read the notes made by care staff
following the imposition of Covid restrictions and the transfer of the records to a digital format.
No satisfactory answer was forthcoming but in Newham where the same problem
arose I complained about it and was given full access to the digital records.
It was not as convenient as reading the notebook and I wasn’t especially happy that the system never
asked for my password but it worked and provided all the information I needed.
