First, the subject of upcoming Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing training for new councillors came up, and Blair was quick to notice the agenda did not include looking at the relationships between county governments and their lower tier municipal governments. The new Reeve didn't waste any time putting the County of Hastings Planning Department on notice that northern communities still have a bone to pick with them. Wollaston and other northern municipalities have consistently expressed their concern that official plans presently being prepared by the County planning do not reflect the northern remote reality, and will seriously hinder their hopes of development and sustainability. --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2014-12-09 17:31:25 Post date GMT: 2014-12-09 22:31:25 Post modified date: 2014-12-09 17:31:25 Post modified date GMT: 2014-12-09 22:31:25 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
