It's back to the drawing board for further refinements to a proposed Street Encroachment By-law for the Town of Lunenburg. Mayor Laurence Mawhinney suggested attention be focused only on access and entrance points to buildings including steps and ramps. He says other items in the by-law could be dealt with at a later time. Council has been reviewing the matter for a lengthy period of time and after numerous drafts the document has become too complex and cumbersome. The Town's Solicitor has been instructed to re-draft the by-law dealing only with the one component and to add a "purpose" statement at the beginning of the document.
