MODL: Mayor Upset With Illegal Dumping In Lower Branch

The mayor of the Municipality of Lunenburg says he's frustrated and disappointed with people illegally dumping garbage in the community. The comments stem after at least a dozen garbage bags were dumped into woods along the Smith Road late last week in Lower Branch. Roughly 75 people recently spent the day removing garbage on the road. Don Downe says he's fed up.



Downe wants to see harsher fines and more teeth in legislation to deter people from illegal dumping. He plans to speak with the Department of Environment immediately to see what can be done.
