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.

5 October (Part 4) - Bexley Council drops the financial ball again

I have not been inside a Post Office since Christmas 2018 when I bought a load of stamps calculated to last me two years. The local SE2 Post Office closed a month later and now I do not even know where there is a nearby Post Office. I suppose I could find one if I needed to but the stamps lasted me into the middle of this year since when I’ve cadged a few from a friend. It will be the reason why the nearest Crown Office is 35 minutes away on a train.

Not only have I given up on Post Offices so it would seem have Bexley Council. A year ago I noticed that Erith Post Office was on Bexley’s Asset Register. Wickes in Fraser Road and the Bexleyheath Job Centre too. They spent rather more on the Post Office than I did on stamps, £925,000.

But it is not on the Asset Register any more.

Sure enough the Land Registry suggests they have sold it.
Post Office sold
The Council sold the Erith warehouse at a loss to plug one of their financial gaps; now it seems they slipped another loss making sale under the radar. £25,000 down the drain. Marketing and legal fees extra!
Post Office bought
The overpaid whizz kids who run Bexley really are wonderful aren’t they?
