County Endorses Nelson Resolution Protecting Residences From Industry
Halton County Council endorsed a measure to shield residential areas from adjoining industry after debate sparked by Nelson township council’s letter about Shell Oil Company and City Service Oil Company plans in Trafalgar township. Reeve Marshall defended the site as suitable for industry, while others urged protections for homes and health, leading to an amended resolution opposing industrial establishment next to established residences without full protections. A copy goes to all councils and planning boards.
