Exeter, county
sign peace pact
on planning
A long-simmering dispute be
tween the town of Exeter and the
County of Huron over planning
services and costs has come to a
peaceful resolution with adoption
of a new agreement between the
two and negotiation of a dispute
resolving mechanism.
The battle had been brewing for
years between the county and the
town. Last year Exeter lost a court
case in which it claimed it shouldn’t
have to pay its share of costs of the
Huron County Planning and De
velopment Department because it
had hired its own planner. Exeter
had broken with the county plann
ing department several years ago
during a dispute with a neighbour
ing township.
The dispute-resolving mechan
ism calls on the Huron County
Warden to step in to mediate any
dispute between municipalities and
appoint a party acceptable to both
parties to mediate the dispute if
necessary.

Letter from
the editor
Continued from page 5
accountants and laywers on the
problem for the last year. Pay
equity, health and safety, all these
things are a lot easier to deal with
with a handfull of huge corpora
tions than with all the little guys.
Politicians pay homage to small
business regularly in speeches,
pointing out that it’s the little
stores and factories that create
most of the new jobs in the country,
but you get the feeling they don’t
really mean it. They’d be just as
happy if they could deal with 50 or
100 huge corporations as deal with
all those horribly independent,
very difficult, small businesses.
That feeling of not being wanted is
getting to a lot of businessmen you
see every day in your community.

Huron County New Democrats met

hit by the recession. The environ
ment is now regarded as a concern
for all Ministries not just one. His
concern is to spend tax dollars
wisely and to come up with
programs which will help those
whom they are aimed at helping.
Interest rates are still too high and
this is one reason that farmers and
small businesses are having such a
difficult time.
