Another ratepayer wanted
to know why since the MRC'
meetings were going -well
and those townships were
getting along. they started
looking -to the other dire. non.
J3roadtoot said there were
issues such as the Budges of
Seaforth development. -a

County opposes annexations
As amalgamation
,discussions continue between
groups of municipalities in
Huron County. the county
government is warning those
groups not to muddy the
.waters with -talk orpossihle
annexations. - . •
As far as the. county is
concerned. it'only wants to
see amalgamation plans
which have been given the
-support"of all interested
parties. Plans which include
'recommendations for the -
'hostile annexation of parts of
neighbouring municipalities
Will not he looked on
-favourably. -
At Huron County Council
March 25 Reeve Roh
Morley of - Ushorne
Township asked .what• the
response of the county would
rte if a municipality or group
of municipalities tried to
' • annex. part of a municipality.
County Planner Gary.
Davidson told council the
strategic planning committee
had discussed whether itr-not-
to .allow-annex-ahnn. and
chose "at -this time.-" to
recommend the. county only
support the amalgamation of
munic;palities "IS a whole."
', In the past- Goderich Town
Council • has ::xpresscd
•
concerns about the hate of.
populated lands immediately
adjoining :the town boundary
including a subdivision and
shopping development to the
east -and cottage areas to the
west. It was concerned
amalgamations would lead to

Davidson said the hest path
