Several complaints received
recently by Grand Bend village
council regarding sanitary and
fire conditions at a few local
businesses were 'disturbing, in
more ways than one.
The first thought that came to
mind was the unfavourable
publicity for the village mer-
chants as a whole. There may be
a few "bad apples" but believe
me, the majority are quite
concerned and conscious of
regulations.
After the initial effect wore off
slightly, I thought it strange that
the village council went about
ordering inspectors in without
even discussing the problems
with the merchants named.
Admittedly, some of the com-
plaints were regarding business
people who have been giving the
village a difficult time in many
areas, One mentioned has been
asked repeatedly to clean up his
operation, so far to no avail,
But there were,also a couple of ,
brand new names mentioned. If I
the charges made by visitors
were well founded, it perhaps
would have been more discreet to
mention them privately to the
owners involved, giving them a
chance to clean up a problem,
perhaps learning of it for the first
time.
Granted, the business owners
should be on top of things in their
own establishments, but like the
rest of us, commercial people get
a little lax sometimes too.
Businesses which do 80 percentlor
more of their annual volume in
two months would likely be more
prone to mass confusion than
those with their business spread
more evenly throughout the year.
Hopefully, the problems
corrected, it will be "business-as-
usual" for the offending
establishments.
