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.
I thought that
blocked drains was the most obvious sign of Council neglect in Bexley but not everyone agrees.
The streets of Sidcup are said to be littered with rubbish but is that really
the same? Blocked drains are wholly Bexley Council’s responsibility whereas filth on the
streets is put there by people. Traders have to pay for waste collection so the
sacks are probably from residential flats above the shops and without rear
access. Missed ‘bins’ become an even more serious problem if they are sacks and left at
the mercy of any passing fox, or rat or crow.
When were those footpaths last jet-washed?

Note: I unexpectedly found myself passing this spot at 16:50. It was clear of rubbish. Councillor June Slaughter knew who to call. 50 years of experience paid off!
