Council ignoring illegal suites problem

Mayor Dianne Watts hired new bylaw officers and still nothing is done.

Here we go again. Another year has passed and still nothing has been done about the illegal suites in Surrey.

Mayor Dianne Watts hired new bylaw officers and still nothing is done.

Is this what happens when you want construction at any cost?

When someone looks away on inspection and doesn’t investigate what they know is an illegal suite?

The last I heard, about 20 suites have registered out of approximately 20,000.

What’s wrong with council? Is it time to sue the city for not enforcing the bylaws that are on the books?

As homeowners, why are we paying for schools, police, fire, hospitals, etc. in our taxes when it should be paid by all in provincial taxes?

We are being discriminated against. My own opinion is council is not doing its job on some things.
