WEST MONTROSE GRAVEL PIT

Yesterday afternoon & evening in Woolwich Council Chambers a public meeting/information session was held. This dealt specifically with the proposed Cultural Heritage Designation for the West Montrose Covered Bridge and area. Two staff of Woolwich Township did an excellent job of answering questions and assisting the public. While I was there (early-4pm.) the folks who came in were discussing the big picture in regards to the proposed gravel pits and their negative impacts. The O.M.B. hearing is in regards to Woolwich's Interim Control Bylaw which puts development on hold while this Cultural Heritage designation process is underway. The hearing commences in Woolwich Council Chambers on Thursday October 28th and potentially runs through until Friday November 5.
Just a thought here. This O.M.B. hearing starts 3 days after the Municipal Election. Could our old Council be playing games? If for example a majority of them were reelected could this O.M.B. hearing be suddenly dropped in favour of the gravel pit applicants?
