This morning several readers contacted us with a photo of a fully marked OPP cruiser going the wrong way on Veterans/Diagonal Rd in Wingham. This obviously endangered the Public. At this time we are not aware of any collisions or pedestrian injuries due to this complete disregard for Public Safety. Why are we so harsh? […]

At the 02May2016 North Huron Council meeting Jeffrey H. Molenhuis was appointed as North Huron’s new Director Of Public Works. It is not known if kelly church has officially “resigned/moved on” yet. Hopefully our new Directory Of Public Works will consider clearing sidewalks in our Community Safety Zones in the winter, and our Community’s children […]
Council complains they don’t have enough of your money to spend, and we lack commercial land and jobs. Past councils have allowed properties on Josephine Street (Wingham’s Main Street) to be turned into property tax exempt churches. This deprives the Community of property taxes and greatly reduces the number of businesses that can locate on […]
One the main reasons Wingham has the highest tax rate in Ontario is the very high cost of Wingham Policing. WFP has fought for many years to get council to publicly admit that the OPP cost half that of the Wingham police. The OPP have done numerous press releases over the years regarding their cost, […]
Signs of our failed amalgamation are visible everywhere as potholes, road weeds, leaky dam, falling stop lights, missing and rotted guardrails, no fire suppression system for town hall, etc etc. North Huron council claims we have no money to fix things, and we have to live with the rot and decay and to stop asking […]
Amalgamation has failed on a monumental level. Several streets in Wingham cause damage to vehicles on a regular basis and are unsafe for cyclists. Our Town Hall Theatre is closed for want of a fire suppression system because the other two wards don’t want to pay for it. Howson Dam leaks, and the low water […]
There can be no doubt that the Wingham, Blyth and East-Wawanosh amalgamation in 2001 has seen all wards suffer. Under the reign of current director of public works we have seen light posts and a stop light fall, obstructed stop signs, storm drains collapse and get filled with cold patch, potholes expand, weeds and TREES […]
North At the 18April2016 North Huron council meeting, they unapologetically admitted they outsourced our water and sewer department to a company because they like who works for that company. This is a typical Old Boys Club move. The Public is left in the dark while major decisions about our Municipality are done behind closed doors, […]
At the packed 18April2016 council meeting our current Director of Public Works, kelly church, was put in his place by angry and upset taxpayers. A delegation member from East-Wawanosh was refused permission to show photos of road deficiencies, likely due to the fact they would be forced to fix those deficiencies under the new minimum […]
Wingham continues to suffer from the negative effects of amalgamation as the three wards fight over capital spending. Blyth theatre gets millions of dollars, while Wingham theatre is missing a fire suppression system. Which means no Famous Players, no bus loads of people coming to Wingham to eat at our struggling restaurants after a show, […]
