The survey results are in! If you are thinking of raising your children here, or investing your life savings, you really need to read the survey results. Our police drive around with tinted windows, carbine rifles, refuse to identify themselves, and charge us double what the OPP cost. There is no doubt the high cost of the Wingham police has helped destroy Wingham, and the survey results show the Public is now aware of this.
WFP used SurveyMonkey for our survey, the same service Town Hall has used in the past. We limited the survey to 100 responses, and it took approximately 2 days to get those 100 responses. Depending on the question, multiple answers were allowed. A few Respondents skipped some questions.
