Hi to all our followers and welcome to this update about the past year's activities and issues.
I'll be publishing any material we sent to the current Council in Lambton Shores in 2025.
A big issue for us (LSCA) is the fact that letters only go on the agenda of Council if a council member asks for that document to be reviewed. All letters are routinely sent to a reading folder for all Councillors, however they can choose to do nothing.
We have been fortunate that we have been able to get our letters on the agenda but it is extra time and effort as we must ask a Councillor to do this. I am not sure everyone is aware of this roadblock.
In addition, the wider community has no idea what issues other community members or our association are having unless these letters are available on the agenda. They disappear down a black hole.
This process feels like it was adopted to keep letters off the agenda and hide dissent or issues of concern the municipality would rather ignore. I feel this is a reduction in accountability. Council should be far more responsive to any concerns-SW
