Salon Owner Cries Foul

Salon owner Lynn MacKay is expressing her frustration with the town of Quispamsis and their planning advisory committee.

The town recently nixed her proposal to expand her in-house salon to an organic salon and spa because significant variances would have been required.

Members from the community were also against it due to concerns of having a large commercial property in a neighbourhood.

She tells CHSJ News she didn't get a fair shake as her proposal had adequate parking and there are already large businesses across the street from the neighbourhood.

She also claims that her previous run-in with the town's dog by-laws had an influence on the town's final decision.
