Kudos to Jill Singel and J. E. Steenson for their letters regarding the property tax increase and illegal basement suites. It is so disheartening when the City of Surrey advises “we can’t do anything about it.”
If the city had to hire a few people to actually do something the wages would be more than paid for by having homes pay for their illegal suites.
My suggestion is that we all should continually telephone city hall bylaw enforcement at 604-591-4370 or the main line at 604-591-4011 numerous times each day until something is done. Call several times a day, every day, and maybe, just maybe, the city will get the message.
