HRM Mayor Savage and Council

Coalition of Community Groups to Council: “Stop Misuse of Development Agreements to Circumvent Approved Plans and Regulations”
Friends of Halifax Common has joined the Coalition for Responsible Development in HRM, which includes 14 community groups from across the municipality, in sending an open letter to Mayor Savage and HRM Council today, September 10, 2015.

The letter requests that:
1. Mayor and Council stop using development agreements indiscriminately to approve development that are inappropriate for the communities in which they are proposed; and,
2.  Mayor and Council apply existing policies and bylaws currently in place until such time as these policies and by-laws are changed.

The Coalition for Responsible Development in HRM is coordinated by the Willow Tree Group.
