Owen Sound councillors held a special meeting Wednesday (Sept 2nd) with the aim of addressing an issue that’s been brought to their attention by some upset residents.
Mayor Ian Boddy says, “People in a certain neighbourhood have reached out to council with a security issue and a safety issue.”
He explains, “There’s a specific house in a specific neighbourhood that’s been causing unrest for the neighbours.”
While Boddy preferred not to say exactly where the house is, out of concern for the neighbours and in the interest of their safety and privacy, he says “We want to look at what our options are to try and help that neighbourhood.”
Boddy says Council wanted a quick meeting to ask staff to bring back a report at their September 14th meeting outlining what the City can possibly do to help the residents in that area.
“We really can’t do much until we get a report back on what our options are,” says Boddy.
