During June and July the London Borough of
Bexley’s Enviro Crime Team prosecuted four
people at Bexley Magistrates’ Court for offences
relating to dumping household refuse, abandoning a vehicle and failure to pick up after a dog had
fouled.
Kerry Commane, 28, of Erith Road, Bexleyheath, was prosecuted in her absence on 21 July,
for two offences of leaving household refuse in
Martens Avenue, Bexleyheath.
She was fined £300
for each offence and ordered to pay the Council
costs of £125 for each offence totalling £850.
On 7 July, Glen Lawrence, 35, of Reddy Road,
Erith, was fined £100 and ordered to pay the
Council £100 costs after failing to pay a fixed
penalty notice issued after he failed to pick up after
his dog had fouled in the grounds of Hall Place,
Bexley.
He had pleaded guilty by post.
Also on 7 July, Joanne Unwin of Exeter Road,
Welling, was fined £200 and ordered to pay the
Council £200 costs in her absence, after magistrates heard that she had failed to pay a fixed
penalty notice for not picking up after her dog had
fouled in Olyffe Avenue, Welling.
Mrs Patricia Everts of Louise Road, London
E15, was fined £750 and ordered to pay the
Council £200 costs after failing to provide information following abandoning a vehicle.
The case
was heard in her absence on 9 June.
Cllr Gareth Bacon, Cabinet Member for the
Environment said: “The London Borough of
Bexley is proud of its environment and aims to
keep it attractive and pleasant for residents, workers and visitors alike.
We treat enviro crime offences seriously.
The diligent actions of our
officers and the success of these prosecutions not
only reassures local people that we are actively
tackling these matters, but sends out a clear message that we will not tolerate enviro crimes in our
borough.
”
The London Borough of Bexley makes strenuous efforts to make it as easy as possible for people to dispose of waste properly.
This includes the
provision of more than 200 designated dog waste
bins borough wide, the free local collection of unwanted vehicles (vehicle must be registered to a
local resident) as well as large reuse and recycling
centres at Maidstone Road, Foots Cray and
Thames Road, Crayford.
When the services offered are not used and the law flouted, Bexley will
prosecute to protect its environment.
Further information on the free vehicle collection service is available on freephone 0800
7834173.
The Council also offers a paid for Special Bulky Waste collection.

COUNCILLORS REFUSE
CHARITY IDEAAt the Bexley Borough Pensioners Forum General Meeting examples of Bexley Senior
Management Grades Salaries
and Councillors Allowances
was presented as followsEight bands with 69 officers, with salaries
ranging from £60,888 to £203,391per
annum.
Councillors Allowances - Out of 63
Councillors 35 claimed over the basic of
£9,077.
80 up to £34,000 (Leader) including 11 claiming £20,000+ 2007/2008!
The reaction of some members was gasps
of disbelief, no wonder, when many Pensioners are struggling to pay the high
Council Tax and generally make ends
meet, in many cases on incomes not much
above £10,000 per year, whereas Councillors Allowances are in ADDITION to
their income.
The members at the meeting then authorised the Secretary to write to the Leader
of the Council requesting that the senior
management grades voluntarily freeze
their salaries for 2009/2010 and that all
Councillors waive 50% of their allowances
for 2008/2009 and 2009/2010, the monies
saved approximately(£400,000) to go to
Charities within the Borough.
A reply has been received from the Leader,
I am sure you will not be surprised to hear
that the request has been denied,( Councillor O’Neill claimed £25,977.
23 as
Deputy Leader 2007/2008 does not think
that our suggestion would ALLEVIATE
the situation!
Enviro criminals caught!

All empty offices
must pay rates!
Property consultant Peter Simons who owns
Prospect House and Tudor Cottages in Foots
Cray is furious with the government for
changing the law so that all empty offices must
now pay National Non-Domestic rates with
no exceptions.
He has written to Privy Councillor the
Rt.
Hon John Hutton who is the Secretary for
State for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory
Reform asking him to explain how he is
supposed to finance the payment of rates when
there is at present no demand for small office
space.
Neither can he sell his property because
there is no market for such premises!
He is now questioning whether it is official
government policy to completely destroy small
businesses like his or have they not thought
through the consequences of their actions?
