All those living in North Huron (Wingham, Blyth & East Wawanosh) are strictly prohibited from working on their own vehicles by order of the SS (Social Standards) banning car parts and components from properties, except for a few properly zoned repair shops.
All vehicles in Wingham, Blyth & E-W must be in working order and free of damage. Any missing component from glass to spare tire may result in up to a $50,000 fine for the first offense, then $100,000 for a second offense.
Express permission to own/store a spare tire or other car part may be available from the SS division of North Huron. 519-357-3550 ext: 126
Failure to report offenses may result in unannounced inspections of your home/business to ensure compliance, and to determine why you failed to live up to your social duty and report such abuses of the law. Section 4 grants them unfettered warrantless access to anyone’s home or business, resistance and objecting is also a crime under section 4.
North Huron council is determined to build a better REICH (Reliable Everyday Inspections of Community & Homes) to protect our communities. If you want to be part of the new REICH, report any and all SS offenses immediately to the SS at 519-357-3550 ext: 126
