Letter: Time for Vale to maintain its own lawns
The City of Greater Sudbury maintains acres of Vale property. For free. They mow, they plow, they repair – and they do it all without charge.
Enter Amalgamation and Vale – and things have become much different. No longer was Vale willing to invest in the community they so willingly hauled resources out of. Ore cars are hauled by the mile, yet nothing seems to come back into town for all of the record profits they’ve made. We were told to get permission from Vale. This request was ignored by Vale for almost two months, and three days before the event we received a notice that if we were to sit on their lawns, we would be required to get $5 million in liability coverage, traffic studies and erect signage. Which begs the question – why is the city mowing and maintaining Vale property? The reason we received was “past practise”.
The city stated that there would be an outcry if the lawns weren’t maintained, and to this I say: Not our problem, send bylaw after them . Vale is well-equipped to maintain their property.
