Approval Of East Side Rezoning Deferred Over Objections By Nearby Residents

Rezoning of land behind St. Joseph's Church and Community Centre on Loch Lomand Road is on hold for the time being.

The people who live on Johnston Road are objecting. They claim a driveway onto their street from the church property will mean more traffic and make it less safe for children where there are no sidewalks.

The Parish Council's George Quigley says the Diocese is shocked by the reaction. He claims Loch Lomand Road is a speedway at times and there have been several near misses as buses have slowed down to make the turn into the Church property.

The residents and Parish Council will meet to see if a compromise can be worked out.
