City officials have confirmed they have put up a fence on civic property north of Wearing Road.
In response to a question from Councillor Ryan Bater at Monday’s meeting, Director of Operations Stewart Schafer confirmed a fence had been put up there on a quarter-section of city property.
Schafer said the area was being used as a garbage dump by “unscrupulous people who do not wish to dispose of their waste properly.”
The area is not being totally closed off to the public. There are accesses available to those who wish to walk their dogs through the pastures and or other pasttimes. But the idea is to keep the dumping out.
