SAVE OUR COMMUNITY FROM UNCARING PEOPLE!



SAVE OUR COMMUNITY FROM UNCARING PEOPLE! Working hand in hand with developers, Langley Township continue to force a plan that will change the landscape of Brookswood from a community with rural (“Horse capital of BC”) roots to a crowded urban wasteland of row housing and condos just like so many other communities in the Lower Mainland. We believe Langley Township is listening to the wrong people, and we wonder if the planners and “experts” who have devised this plan actually live in this community. It seems the Township doesn't care about keeping our community a beautiful place to live, where people can own larger properties with big trees, they just care about squeezing as many people (and as many tax dollars) out of the land as they possibly can. Don't let them do this to us and our wonderful community, don't let them destroy where we live the same way they did Willoughby! We CAN stop them! Gather together to save our homes and save the brooks and woods in Brookswood. Make your voice heard. Contact the Township of Langley, attend their meetings to find out what they have planned for your neighbourhood, voice your disapproval!

The Big Rubber Stamp

You know, the community never approved the Brookswood community plan.  You asked the questions (your questions without fair input!) the way you wanted to ask them.  You never really listened.  You planned it the way you wanted and you stepped on people.  And it gets a rubber stamp.

Like proud purveyors of snake oil all of you have sold-us-out, you will gut our community, and you think you are doing a good job.

Well time wounds all heels...

I had the opportunity to attend the Griffiths neighborhood: open house last night and all I can say is wow! I've never seen so many unhappy people frustrated and angry with this development.I even happen to listen to a few conversations with people that actually reside in for Android that used to belong to the Griffiths neighborhood advisory Corporation and pulled out due to sheer magnitude of this plan. Let's all hope the council either squashes or drastically scales down this development and listens to its community.

Yes, I'm frustrated and angry myself.  I'm sure, just like me, many people feel steam-rolled.  Suing them just means that you are in fact suing yourself for it just raises taxes.

I also notice that the township raised taxes again this year instead of cutting costs.

-D

I too went to the Griffiths "open" house. First off wouldn't be nice if the Township were truly upfront and transparent about the fact that this "process" has been paid for by the elite few who will most benefit? On to the glaring problems: 1) 32nd Avenue. This road has already become an "artery" yet the most important "part" is in Surrey from 192nd to Hwy 99 and it is only one lane! Has Surrey or the BC government guaranteed that 32nd will become a four lane artery? Doubt it! 2) Schools - Noel Booth is the only elementary school with in a walk from this "town center". Has the BC government set aside funds and land for new Schools? Or will Griffiths just be another problem where families move and have no where for their kids to go to School? 3) Transit - does anyone honestly think these so called "planners" really care about how or if Translink has even heard of this "plan"? 4) Yet another "commercial center"? Oh yeah!! just what Langley needs! Another so called "center" with a Boston pizza, Tim Hortons, Price Smart and probably a bunch of sushi bars...weeeee......!just up the road from the other similar stores! What a joke this whole thing is !
