Norton Weighs In On Council Cuts

Councillor Mel Norton could be changing his vote when it comes to cutting 4 seats from the council horseshoe.
Norton tells CHSJ News while he likes the idea of saving hundreds of thousands of dollars by having a smaller council, the feedback from his constituents has him reconsidering.
 
He says people have expressed concerns about accessibility and councillors being stretched too thin.
 
He says there will be rigorous debate in council chambers before any changes are made, especially after other councillors have also heard public feedback.
