Dear Editor:
RE: Bad decision, Feb. 22.
I share the frustration and displeasure of J. Alexander at the bewildering decision by Centre Wellington council in declaring Strathallan Park “surplus” so the Catholic school board can cram a high school onto the relatively small site.
My family have lived nearby for over two decades and we are extremely upset over the loss of treasured and much needed green space.
Being forced to cope with the exponential increase in congestion and vehicular traffic is not a burden we relish.
It is evident, at least to me, that this council is no paragon, in terms of engagement and transparency. I feel betrayed and I think blame can legitimately be laid at the feet of the one entity that spawned this sordid situation and the other that permitted it.
Allan Berry,
