18 August (Part 2) - The Enviro-Crime Department may not have received the memo
Bexley’s Planning Department has a long record of eventually making favourable decisions
on applications by our favourite building developer even when he builds on
Council owned land without permission. They issued an enforcement
notice for restoration at the time but it was never enforced.
Another enforcement notice was issued last year and it
expired on 26th
September. The order was to tidy up the Leather Bottle site and reopen the Footpath
that used to run across it. This is not a Planning matter but there was once
again no compliance and Bexley Council told a
local resident that it had begun legal proceedings.
There is no confirmed link but Balmonza, the company that owns the Leather
Bottle site, was summoned to appear before a magistrate in Bexley last May.

When the Mayor of Bexley
attended the Shaheedi Jor Mela Festival at the
invitation of the Singhs she was accompanied for no obvious reason by the former
Chairman of the Planning Committee. The link between Brian Bishop and what many
consider to be a rogue developer is obvious although arguably unwise, but why
was the Mayor of Dartford there too?
The Mayor of Dartford is the brother of Bexley Councillor Rags Sandhu
(Conservative, Bexleyheath). His presence is unexplained.
The Sandhu brothers were
first mentioned here in
2013 and 2014 along with Rebecca Sandhu the so called Independent Person sitting on the Code of Conduct Committee. It
was never proved conclusively that there was a connection between Rebecca and the two brothers.
Kulvinder Singh outside his own house lined up with seven Tory Councillors and candidates Including the wife of the then Planning Committee Chairman.
