Welcome to my blog! MY primary objective is to alert my constituents and others in King Township about issues being reviewed at the upcoming Council meetings. I do this as I believe the quality of Council decisions is enhanced when the public is engaged. I hope that residents will make deputations and/or send emails to Council to express their opinion and/or to ask important questions. Also, I include notice of meetings and events which I think are particularly important. I welcome your comments, whether you agree or not with me, and only edit to eliminate inappropriate language.

Nobleton Car Wash Operating Hours
On Council June 24 agenda there is a report addressing the operating hours of the new carwash on King Road at east side of Nobleton. The history of this development is complicated; it seems to me that the complexity was exacerbated by the proponent acting without approvals and various remediations being required. I certainly concur that exemptions to the noise bylaw shnould not be granted as...
