The Goderich Signal-Star, 1987-06-03, Page 7!strict I;•4.1MIS Garden looks like 'War s ° . one' says reader LETTE=RS Dear Editor, The billboard on the way into Goderich proclaims •" I'he Prettiest Town in Canada", and our tourist brochures boast of the pret- ty, well -kept .parks, and flowered street corners. Our•Parks and Works department crews are continually working to keep the town looking pretty and green, and we, as residents are proud of the way it looks. • There is a plaque, down at the harbour, at the entrance to the South Pier that an- nounces "A PEACE GARDEN, in Honour of the International Year of Peace", 'yet all around it, and lining the entire boardwalk from the south pier to the end of Christopher~ beach., the "PEACE GARDEN" looks more like a "WAR 'LONE". " '1'he flowers and shrubs which were so carefully planted last year have been left unattended, and are a mass of weeds, stones, and assorted refuse. They looked like they haven't been watered once this year, and many of the shrubs are in the pro- cess of succumbing to the elements. !What a disgrace! Can our town not see to it. that this beautiful area, which has attracted so many people, locals and tourists alike, is main- tained in the same careful ,and thoughtful manner that the rest of the parks and flower beds in the town are? What do the rest of your readers, .who en - jay the boardwalk on a warm summer even- ing think'? Sincerely .Doug. R. Bundy O nion to e cele rate in Holmesville H ®L3''.."
