Nearly Four Hours And No Decision From Council On New Pit

Despite nearly 4 hours of talk in council chambers over a proposed gravel pit near Latimore Lake Road, council deciding to put themselves rather than the issue to bed.
Council deciding to table the issue for two weeks in order to clarify certain parts of the proposal and will make a decision at the next meeting.

Odette McGrath of Lackie Road was one of several people who spoke out against the development. She tells CHSJ News she can't believe a final decision was not made.
She says they attended a community meeting and stayed past 11:30pm last night and the elderly members of her community can't sit that long.
She says even if the decision didn't go in her favour, she would have rather known now then wait another two weeks for a final answer.
