The City's progress towards removing unsightly properties continued this week and as our top story of our list of Five notes, the call for remedial action sometimes brings some controversy.
In this case as the out of town owners of the old Mohawk property on Second West accuse the city of blindsiding them on the issue.
As it was a Council week a number of other items also delivered some strong readership numbers.
Included on the list, some repair work on a streetlight on McBride, along with renovation plans for the Fire hall washrooms.
The District of Port Edward is making a second bid to gan acceptance for their plans for a recreation area just west of the Galloway Rapids Bridge and provincial government bureaucrats were in the spotlight after an unusual request on language gained some national attention.
When it came to the most read item of the week, it was the always popular topic of cleaning up unsightly properties in the city that led the way.
