29 September (Part 1) - Carlton Canyon

Bexley is cracking upBexley Council claims, very controversially, that its roads are among the best in the country but thanks to them my eight year old car is becoming a rattle box.

Every time I go to Dartford and cross the little town centre bypass near to their library I wonder how it is that after something like 20 years their granite blocked road is as good as new with not a single block displaced and wherever one goes in Bexley similarly constructed roads are falling apart.

From Arnsberg Way to Harrow Manorway they have all broken up in a remarkably short time. Some are not even seven years old.

Is this another case of Bexley Council not getting value for our money?

From @tonyofsidcup comes these photos of the paths leading to Carlton Road Playpark not far from his home in Sidcup. The poor workmanship tolerated by Bexley Council is plain for all to see. Chasms almost big enough to lose a small child.

Bexley; the borough where nothing much works properly. The place is cracking up.
