Court Wants to Crack Down on Illegal Businesses

Illegal businesses dumping garbage around and operate out of sub-standard buildings need to go. That's the message from Councillor Bruce Court. He's sick of the way such operations are allowed to run unchecked.

He says that the problem is especially bad in the area off Hillcrest Road, where some illegal businesses have been operating for two years, despite that enforcement officers live nearby.

He says it's not just an east side problem--he's also seen illegal painting happening in the middle of town. He says the city needs to step up its enforcement and make sure residential neighbourhoods don't have to put up with those kinds of operations.
