Community demands answers
A capacity crowd of more than 500 people filled the Highline Hall in Wellington on Monday night. They are worried about massive waterworks spending and the risk to their water bills—already among the highest in the nation. They want Council to stop and re-evaluate its plans.
The Aug 27 Council meeting should be moved to the Prince Edward Community Centre.
The Community needs to be able to first hand witness, the actions (and inactions) of their elected officials.

August 27th Council Meeting will need to be moved from the ancient and inaccessible Shire Hall. That building should not be our Municipal headquarters. With 500 to 1000 planned to arrive.
