Dear editor:

In reference to the Lake Report article “Staff supports King Street condo,” (The Lake Report, Jan. 25), I am disappointed, but, if I’m honest, not surprised, that our town council does not truly understand or appreciate the quality of what Niagara-on-the-Lake has to offer as this has not just occurred by happenstance.

The quality of our town has been created by many years of planning, some good, some not so good, but, always by standards set by the earnest planning endeavours of the council and NOT by amended planning laws crafted by developers.

I am in total agreement with letter writers Bill French, Judy McLeod and many others who are wondering: where is our town council when we need them?

This development needs to be brought back in line with current town planning requirements.
