I live in the town of…

I live in the town of Grimsby that our town council has submitted a request to free up a greenbelt property that was released and then turned back to greenbelt property recently that the town council is now asking the province to reverse so the town can develop this land. The Cline Road property backs onto my yard and I want to formally object with the town councils request. First i want to say at no point did our town council ask for or informed us, the public and tax payers for our feedback related to this request. This is all very concerning to me as we do not have the infrastructure to support such a development. Firstly, only two main roads would service this development, both of which are 2 lanes highways are in very poor condition and can barely support the current traffic needs. Secondly the lack of school in our area would not support this growth as even the closest school just went to thru restructuring to support the current students and barely does that. Thirdly, the total lack of police presence and total lack of fire department support would also not support this proposed development as they can't even support our current area sufficiently. When this issue was address to our local council, we were told its because they are having trouble filling and keeping people hired in the fire department roles, which does not help us now and more so with an even bigger population growth. I have had a few situations where I needed to call the police and while not a life or death 911 emergency, the arrival time was between 20-40 mins, which is unacceptable. All this several, the land in question supports so much wildlife, plant species and environment balance, developing this land would be a huge negative impact. There are deer, foxes, coyotes, falcons, hawks, weasels, rabbits, owls, possums etc that rely on this land, not to mention countless plant trees, flowers marsh land, a pond sand numerous other nature. I hope you please take some of this reasons into consideration in denying the Town Of Grimsby to get you to allow them to turn this thriving greenbelt into an affordable housing development that as far as I am concerned, the town and infrastructure cannot even begin to support, nor has the town even offer to explain or advise how they plan to support this development and what they plan on doing for all the wildlife that uses this land as their home.
