Daly ‘dismally impressed’ with neglect

by Paul Wyke
The Review

Charming Sidney by the Sea
isn’t so charming according to a
report by Coun. Ted Daly.

A list of 32 properties — four in
Grove Crescent and two on
Ardwell Avenue that are ““particu-
larly offensive” — are breaking
bylaws and not being maintained
properly, Daly said.

On a Sunday afternoon drive
through Sidney, the Town council-
lor made a list of properties that
arent adhering to municipal
bylaws.

“1 discovered a distally
impressive list of houses with
multiple unlicensed vehicles in
their front yards, side yards and in
many Cases on municipal boule-
vards and easements,” he said.

Daly also cited in his report the
problem of recreational vehicles,
car parts and “much bric a brac,”
causing eyesores in the Town of
Sidney.

The report suggested that coun-
cil consider the use of land at
Sidney's works yard to provide
storage for recreational and unli-
censed vehicles.

“Tam concerned about the long-
range effect if we allow the current
situation to continue. Good exam=
ples of this are Grove Crescent and
the 2000-block of Ardwell Ave-

ue,” Daly told council in com-
mittee on Dec. 7.
