The Mayor's Response

Thank you for your email
expressing your concern over residents using public parks as a washroom

Re;

"After three weeks not one response from the mayor so I am assuming that my complaint is not too high on the priority list."

For clarification -when your email was received it was read and the concerns expressed were made a priority and were immediately forwarded to town staff for appropriate action(s)

I personally checked into the matter with staff on your behalf . And at that time I expressed that: "Its understandable that Mr. and Mrs. Binding would be upset at an unknown person relieving himself in a public place within sight of their home "

Our Parks Manager Mr Tree quickly responded to let me know that he was going to " advise Mr. Downey of this latest incident and seek further direction in this regard‬"
‪

After some internal emails were exchanged - Mr Giroux also responded and copied all and mentioned he would notify his coaches etc

To summarize - your email concerns have been forwarded to staff for their review and a response.

Mr Giroux has advised us all that he is following up with the teams from his club who are using the fields

And in addition following these communications - Cllr. Wilson has just this week raised the same issue by way of giving Notice of Motion

When Councillor Wilsons motion is tabled all Members of Council and /or LSAC members will get the opportunity to
discuss the matter further.

And Staff , Sports associations, schools and residents will also all have an opportunity to offer their input and suggestions at that time
about the placement of portable washrooms in sports parks

Regards

Phyllis Morris
