Concern For Leith Beach

Letter to the Editor

Editor,

An issue of great concern to citizens of Leith, Meaford, Grey County, and many others, has arisen at Meaford Council. A proposal to transfer municipal parkland into private hands will be discussed at a Council meeting June 10, 2019, at 6 p.m. in the Council chambers, located at 157859 7th Line, Meaford.

The proposal is to demolish the existing building behind the Leith Beach in order to build a new restaurant/motel. The building would be three times the size of the current structure, requiring the transfer of some of the current parkland to private ownership.

Not only would the aesthetic of the park and beach be forever changed but we would lose access, parking space for the beach, and use of the boat launch.

Everyone affected by this proposal needs to attend the above captioned council meeting and voice their opinion to their councillors.

Ted Loughead, Leith
