Uniformed officer’s comments at London, Ont. council meeting spark police probe
During the meeting, a woman dressed in a London Police Service uniform identified herself as Holly Kelly and told the committee that she lived near the proposed development.
“I was incredibly disheartened when I heard what was likely going to be development onto Upper Queen. I stayed optimistic as hoping that maybe as had mentioned they would provide an option that would match the integrity of the neighbourhood,” Kelly told the committee.“When the little pamphlet came in with a picture of what would look like, I was devastated.”
Kelly’s comments lasted just under four minutes as she spoke out against the development. Public participation meetings typically only permit five minutes for Londoners to voice their comments.
“I agree with everyone else here, I believe there is a way to do this, I do not feel that what is being suggested right now is right for this neighbourhood,” she added.
