Blyth Village Council is still
waiting a reply from the parties
involved in the renovation of the
Radford Diamond so council can’t
say for sure when the ball diamond
will be back in use, a questioner
was told at Blyth council’s meeting
Wednesday night.
Phil Black asked council what the
situation was with the park. He
said he represented the Blyth
Broomball League which holds a
tournament each June, as well as
the Blyth fastball team and that as
President of the Minor Ball Asso
ciation last year he was especially
concerned about the situation for
youngsters.
Councillor Steven Sparling who
was chairing the portion of the
meeting because Reeve Albert
Wasson had declared a conflict of
interest because of his financial
interest in George Radford Con
struction, said council couldn’t give
much more information because it
was still awaiting reply to a letter it
sent in January to the Blyth
Slow-Pitch League and to Radford
Construction.
The letter had been sent follow-

“AND THE LIST WILL
CONTINUE TO GROW“
ing a meeting between council and
its lawyer and representatives of
the Ball league and Radford Con
struction on January 16 regarding
cost overruns on the project. Coun
cil, through its laywer, said that the
construction company was respons
ible for the increased costs because
it went ahead with an expanded
project without council having
authorized the increase. The lawy
er said the company should stick to
its earlier quote despite the fact the
scope of the renovation had been
greatly increased at a site meeting
held last September.
In a letter sent to Radford’s and
published in The Citizen, council
had called on the company to finish
its portion of the project by May 2
and to pay $1,750 toward the work
(the company had earlier donated
$6,000 towards its $11,559 bill and
company principles Diane Wasson
and Doug Srimgeour had each
donated a further $1,000). The
Slow-Pitch League was told to pay a
further $1,000 and the village was
to pay $500. These amounts would
be matched through the village’s
