HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2007-12-13, Page 21Condolences from the village are
extended to Wilmer and Marie
Glousher and family. Wilmer lost his
brother, Stan, last week.
In 2001 amalgamation brought the
town of Clinton, Goderich Twp. and
Hullet Twp. together as the
Municipality of Central Huron.
Now it seems that for the purpose
of the 911 emergency service there
must be no duplicate addresses. This
necessitates some road name
changes.
King Street in Londesborough
will change to King’s Road. Main
Street in the village will now be
known as Londesborough Main
Street.
It seems there was also a King
Street in Auburn and a Main Street
in Holmesville causing some
confusion for emergency services.
One of the concerns expressed in2001 around amalgamation and inthe years since has been whether themore rural areas of the municipalitywill “get their fair share”, so tospeak.This fall people are questioningtwo budgetary issues that affect theresidents of the former Hullett Twp.
There are those families living
closer to other community centres
than to the Clinton Community
Centre and whose children prefer to
play hockey in those arenas.
The Municipality of Central
Huron has decided to no longer
assist with the funding of both the
Seaforth and Blyth Community
Centres.
More recently it has become
known that the medical response
coverage the residents of our
township have been receiving from
the Blyth District Fire Department
for decades is in jeopardy.
Under the proposed changes being
considered by the Municipality of
Central Huron, no matter if there is a
substantial cause for delay in
ambulance response, regardless of
the urgency of the medical
condition, there will be no medical
response from the Blyth fireservices. It, too, will no longer receive funding from our taxmonies.The Blyth Fire Department hastraining in First Response that otherfire departments in this area ofHuron County do not have as yet.Being first to respond to a medical
emergency those firefighters can
make the difference, literally,
between life and death.
If that funding is cut, residents
will still have the option of calling
that fire department but at their
own expense. What price can we put
on the life of our family or
neighbour?
Ironically, a first-class fire training
centre is located at the edge of Blyth,
in Hullett Twp. and initiated by a
large business whose taxes are
directed to the Municipality of
Central Huron.
If either of these issues concern
you, make some noise. Place a call
to your Hullett council member and
discuss these issues.
There are some petitions regarding
the emergency services cut being
circulated. Find one and add your
name.
