With the start to voting being roughly 2 weeks away, it’s important to share the concerns I have been hearing at the door.
The top concerns are:
1. Infrastructure - community residents are concerned that infrastructure won’t keep up with development plans.
2. Recreational facilities, arenas & programming - concern is that the the current programming has been booking quick, and already creating wait times and backlogs.
3. Protection of farmland, and greenspaces - with the impending development, current residents want to see farmland, greenspaces protected.
4. Support for seniors including housing - seniors want to stay in the community. Support for smaller ‘senior friendly’ homes is needed.
5. Improving emergency services, and ensuring full compliment of staff is supported.
6. Taxes - transparency & efficient use of tax dollars
7. Crime - many residents are concerned with the rise of petty crime
8. Courtice Waterfront - many residents want to see a mixed use waterfront with shops, residences, restaurants, parks, trails, beach and a boat/recreational craft launch.
9. Schools - new school/expansion, and bus support.
10. Employment - Support for small businesses, including attracting good local jobs.
With clarington potentially growing over the next 5-10 years, these are all proactive priorities which are of concern.
I’d like to hear more though.
