Community Centre
result of a decision made at a
regular council meeting
Tuesday night.
Reeve Ivan Hearn and
clerk-treasurer Ed Melanson
signed four photocopied
documents approving a cost
sharing agreement for the
Lucan complex. McGillivray
and London township
councils had already signed
the photocopies and Bid-
dulph council was expected
to sign the agreement later
Tuesday night.
The joint use and cost
sharing agreement will
leave Lucan with 47.5 per
cent of the bill, Biddulph will
contribute 37.5 percent, and
7.5 percent will be paid by
both London and
McGillivray Townships.
The agreement will cover
capital expenditures,
operation and maintenance.
Councillor Norm Steeper
suggested council adopt an
emergency ban on Main
Street parking during heavy
snow storms, as London has
done this winter. The
recommendation originated
with the town planning
board.
Lucan’s main street is cut
to a lane or a lane and a half
when drivers park there
during heavy storms, he
said.
Reeve Hearn questioned
the need for a town by-law

by a spring flowers arrange-

“This isn’t an ordinary
winter. I think we’ve done
well under the storm con
ditions this year,” said
Hearn.
Councillor Harry Wraith
proposed an emergency
parking ban on one side of
the street but opposed a by
law allowing a total ban on
parking. The planning
board’s proposal was also
questioned by councillor
Gary McFalls.
“It’s a problem, but it’s a
problem that hasn’t hap
pened for the past few years
and may not occur for
another few years,” he said.
Council did not pass a motion
regarding main street
parking during snow storms.
Council approved a $75
grant to support St. John’s
Ambulance and the money
will be used for providing
supplies and equipment,
according to a letter
requesting the grant.
