To the Editor,
Re: Council approves dam contract for spillway, Sept. 3.
The collapse of the dams and causing severe problems for the residents of Harewood is not going to happen. The scare that the last council produced for the residents was bad in so many ways – seniors are scared; one particular senior is scared to the point she thinks she will drown in her sleep when it rains. While this may not be the intention, it is indeed the outcome. Property value has dropped because of the signage, segregating south Harewood as a place that you do not want to live, ‘just in case.’
Take down the signage now – the evidence provided to the public does not support the conclusion of the dams failing.
The people want this historic forest/water park. The community will continue to protect this sanctuary.
