LONDESBORO & DISTRICT LIONS APRIL ACTIVITIES APRIL 1ST PAPER PICKUP Newspapers at the curb by 9 a.m. APRIL 2ND OLD FASHIONED BREAKFAST APRIL 1ST VEGAS NIGHT at Blyth Community Centre 8 p.m. - 1 a.m. APRIL 7TH MEN’S EUCHRE Londesboro Hall 8 p.m. to Midnight Buses parking a problem Continued on page 3 difficulties doing this but promised to have the idea looked at. The parking discussion widened to include problems with tour buses parking on the streets. Councillor Dave Lee said that there are times he’d be further off to walk from home on a Thursday afternoon during matinee performances rath­ er than drive up town and have to park nearly as far from the stores. It was good that the theatre brought people to town but local people need to be able to shop too. Councillor Shirley Fyfe asked if buses couldn’t be asked to park at the fair grounds after unloading their passengers. Joel Harris, Fes­ tival General Manager said that the tour operators are urged to park their buses on side streets not on the main street but the councillors said that is still a problem. Mr. McCaffery tried to bring a little perspective to the parking complaints saying that where there are parking problems it means there is business being done. “I’ve been in villages where there was all kinds of parking,’’ he said. Referring to discussion at the March 8 council meeting where Councillor Medd had raised ques­ tions whether the addition to Memorial Hall should go ahead without a public meeting, Mr. McCaffery asked if the Festival and Council still had an agreement in principle on the addition. Reeve Albert Wasson said he didn't think there should be any question of the council backing out of its commitment after the explan­ ations provided in the tour. He said the new councillors were being asked questions about the plans that even the old councillors couldn’t have answered because the plans weren’t advanced enough for the Festival to have been able to provide the answers earlier. Councillor Medd said he liked the ideas the Festival had present­ ed. “I want to get it clear to you that I'm not against it (the expan­ sion),’’ he told Festival officials, “but I have been approached by people concerned with what’s hap­ pening to the Hall.’’ He said he still thought it was advisable there be a public meeting so people can see that they are not losing anything at the Hall.
