ANY NEED TO TAKE THE GLOVES OFF WITH WOOLWICH TOWNSHIP (ie. Council)?

Woolwich Council & Staff are stonewalling. They to date have given exactly zero explanation or clarification as to why they ignored their consultant's recommendation regarding installing air monitoring equipment in the home nearest the east side of the Bolender Landfill. They have given exactly zero explanation or clarification as to why they have not insisted upon methane gas probes around the entire perimeter of the landfill rather than so focused on the west side. They have not explained why they have stood by and allowed literally decades to pass between methane testing on both the north and east sides of the landfill. The most recent information is also suggesting that their "approximate" location of this landfill is unreliable and likely greatly understated.

So why aren't they at the minimum agreeing to install methane warning devices in the homes along George St., High St. and Charles St. nearest the landfill? The cost is absolutely minimal whereas the savings in lives and property damage could be astronomical. What is the matter with Woolwich Township?

So what would taking the gloves off consist of? As always look for the money. Who really would be out of pocket if a house or business had an explosion or fire? Secondly who is actually responsible for fire prevention? Perhaps next steps would entail passing along the technical reports produced by Conestoga Rovers to the Township's insurance company. If they are the ones having to pay the bills if this goes sideways then they might appreciate a heads up that an emergency or crisis could easily be avoided if action is taken.

Regarding the fire angle I suppose the Woolwich volunteer Fire Department should be interested. Of course they are under the control and supervision of Council. This Council have certainly shown a willingness if not eagerness in the past to dismiss volunteers working on behalf of the public interest. Might be best to avoid any housecleaning if the local Fire Department started butting heads with Council by bypassing them altogether. That would probably leave the Ontario Fire Marshall.

It is truly unfortunate to even have to consider these options but our Council for some strange, likely political reason, are ignoring their duty.
