Families come first

Dear Editor:

An industrial site next to country homes? What township would ever consider this?

Every municipality wants to look after their residents, it’s job one, and the wonderful people of Aberfoyle are counting on just that. They need their mayor and councillors now more than ever to step up and support them and turn down an application to rezone a piece of land on which a major trucking firm has applied to build a huge truck terminal – literally right next to their family homes.

Seems a no-brainer; pollution, noise, waste, paved-over fields and major truck traffic in a small town is a bad idea. Residents and families were here first and settled beside land zoned for residential.

Families of Aberfoyle need to come first!
