Dear Councillor: Please say no to town destruction

Wayne Murray's letter is one of several received by The Local urging councillors to vote no to the Parliament Oak hotel property, because it will lead to others.

Dear Councillors,        

If you approve this hotel (on the Parliament Oak property) it’s important to understand that it’s not a single project that you’re approving! You won’t be able to deny any similar seven-storey building on any residentially-zoned land anywhere in town. If this one is given approval it changes from a town where people want to live, to a place where people won’t even want to visit.

Please do not take this first step to the destruction of our town.

Wayne Murray
