HENSALL - Efforts by Hensall
youths to get the local bicycle mot-
ocross track back into shape for
summer are running into stumbling
blocks involving insurance cover-
age.
About six years ago, the Hensall
Parks Board constructed a dirt track
on land owned by General Homes
for use by the Local BMX club. Be-
cause of the club affiliation, acci-
dent liability was covered under the
community centre's insurance poli-
cy.
The club has, however, since dis-
solved. The track remains, but is
in a state of disrepair.
"Right now there's no coverage
on that thing at all," said assistant
clerk Anne Willert, who delved into
the insurance question at the request
of the Parks Board.
"The kids want something," said
councillor Peter Groot. "They've
been using the bush. Each year
they take shovels and build ramps,
dig holes, and each year Rollie (are-
na manager) fills them in." •
Council decided to refer the matter
back to the Parks Board to see if a
club could be re-established.
Councillor Cecil Pepper recalled
that the original club didn't manage
to make full use of the facility.
"It never really got off the
ground," said Pepper.
Bill Rowcliffe is going ahead
withhis plans to bring a few new
residential lots to Hensall, the
shortage of which council has dis-
- cussed in the past.
Rowcliffe has filed severances to
divide a"parcel of land on the north-
east corner of Hensall into nine new
buildable lots.
The village will have to buy a
tenth lot in order to extend Lorne
Avenue to provide access to four of
the most northerly lots.
Before the lots can be developed a
developer's agreement must be
signed by council and the land must
be rezoned for residential use. Ser-
vices will have to be installed be-
fore building permits can be issued.
The general public will be invited
to a Joint meeting of the Hensall
Business Improvement Area and the
Economic Development Committee
on April 25 at 7:30 p.m. in the
community centre. The guest
speaker will be Brad Brownlee,
president of the Ontario BIA Asso-
ciation.
