A Picture Editorial About A Real Mess!
There Must be a Law Somewhere! -..
Located on the main street in the village of Zurich, in a residential area, is a
vacagtt building, with wrecked cars and other rubbage around it, as pictured in the
photos on this page. It is not a very nice site, especially for any neighbours living
in the immediate area. The building itself has not been in use for several years,
and the mess has been laying around ever since. Owner of the property lives in
Goderich.
For several years councils of the village of Zurich have attempted to convince
the owner that the mess should be cleaned up, with no avail. The councils have
searched in vain for a law which would allow them to order the property cleaned
up, but still have not found the answer. Surely, somewhere, there is a law in this
country which would assist municipal councils in getting rid of messes such as this.
A property like this is not a very nice site for the neighbours, but imagine the
impression it must create on people travelling through the village. No doubt they
think the residents are back in the horse and buggy days.
Steps are now being taken by rhe council of the village of Zurich to see that
such situations do not arise again. A special holding by-law has been passed, which
can be located in any particular location in the municipality, But the unfortunate
part of this is that what is already here still exists, and there is no way to correct
the situation.
No doubt there are some of our readers who might wish to comment on this
particular situation, and perhaps there might even be someone with a concrete plan
to correct it. We would enjoy hearing from anyone with their comments,
