MODL: Petition Circulating After Lights Removed From Leary Fraser Road

Some residents of Leary Fraser Road in Whynott's Settlement have started a petition to get street lights re-installed. The councillor for the area, Frank Fawson, had six lights removed from the road after he understood it was his right to do so under municipal policy. However, that doesn't sit well with homeowners. Carmen Fraser says he's upset that residents didn't get a say.



This also bothers the LaHave Manor Organization, who feel the road is too dark for their clients. Homeowner Jeff Whynot agrees, saying it's unsafe.



Whynot and Fraser say they have about 80 percent of signatures collected from residents on the road. It's hoped the petition will be presented to the Municipality of Lunenburg next month to have the lights re-installed as quickly as possible.
