Residents ‘betrayed’

Dear Editor:

On July 12 “the rubber met the road” – and I mean literally, as Puslinch council voted to betray the residents of Aberfoyle and voted in favour of rezoning 128 Brock Road to industrial!

This is now permitting even more large 52-foot transport trucks to invade our lovely community on a daily, if not hourly, basis. 

Apparently council did not agree with our vision to keep Aberfoyle and it’s entry point beautiful. They instead fell to the threat of government regulations that they felt ill equipped to deal with. 

Clearly they did not hear the messages of each of the hundreds of residents that were adamantly against this move. 

We will make it clear to them at the next election how important this vote was to us all. We hope they have enjoyed their time on council. I do not look forward to saying “We told you so” when our community is looking back and saying this traffic mayhem and decay could have all been stopped had only the community leaders listened to the residents they are here to serve. 

It was a very sad day for Aberfoyle and Puslinch.

Sue Daniel,
Aberfoyle
