Councillor's Request Denied

Fort Frances councillor Ken Perry was denied by his fellow councillors last night a request for more time in moving a construction trailer from his property.

Perry had sought permission to keep the trailer until next May.

But Chief Building Official Rick Hallam told council that the councillor had been given plenty of opportunity to comply with municipal by-laws in removing the trailer.

"We've had many verbal discussions with respect to this issue," said Hallam. "It finally got to the point that we had to act through the proper challenges being the official the letter to remove the trailer."

Perry had cited work and personal reasons for being unable to meet a most recent removal date of September 15.
