(News -Record photo) jou.,LrgneedLs down Stamey backs out by, Shelley McPhee The future housing .needs survey to be conducted by the Ontario Ministry of Housing (OMH) may come to a standstill unless a greater need for additional housing is indicated. Clinton council, at their Tuesday night meeting Learned that not only have only 32 applicants shown interest in more housing, but Stanley Township has backed out of the proposed area survey. Earlier in the year, Stanley along with Goderich, Hullett and Tuckersmith township agreed to join with Clinton to see if future senior apartment facilities are needed in the area. Clerk Cam Proctor explained. "An advertisement didn't produce sufficient applications for the OMH to see the need of more housing, but they agreed to let us run the ad again in more newspapers and to include low rental housing." "I hear that there are units now available in the county and this may have some bearing on Stanley Township pulling out," he added. "Then why is there still a waiting list?" Councillor Ron McKay questioned. Clerk Proctor replied, "There may be units available in Bayfield, for instance, but those on the waiting list might not want to live there and they don't have to go." "It's countywide anyway," deputy -reeve Cook said, "and Stanley will have to pay their share." Mayor Harold Lobb added, "I'm disappointed in hearing this. Stanley borders on our town and I'm sure township residents would like to live in senior units in Clinton.
