On Monday, August 13, Doug Lorriman presented a deputation to the Tiny Township Council Committe of the Whole. The presentation was based on the open letter to council posted earlier on this Blog but also included some discussion on items raised since the writing of the letter. Items such as beach stewardship stemming from a recent conference regarding caring for our beaches and points raised at the Public Meeting on fencing issues held on August 11.
The council chambers were filled with interested parties, most of whom strongly supported the message to urge council to pass regulations to restrict the further placing of fences or other obstructions on our beaches.
The conclusion of the presentation follows:
Council should take action to restrict the placing of fences and other permanently placed items on the beach:
- To follow through on statements made during the election campaign
- To act on the recommendation in the Consultant’s Report
- To provide access for service and emergency vehicles
- To practice good stewardship of our valuable non-renewable resource
- To prevent major problems if and when the water levels should rise again.
- To uphold the intent, purpose and provisions of the Official Plan
Each one important in itself but together a very compelling case, we hope you will agree.
