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 PLAN is TAINTED!

Since the GNAC paid for the Brookswood/Fernridge 2014 OCP to the sum of $500K and had a say on how it was to be administered and directed.  Since the Township counsel didn't use existing Township staff and instead hired a private contractor (AECOM), worse, AECOM is an American company bent on progressive large project development planning with it's roots in oil and gas - any money paid to them is siphoned off to another country instead of staying in the region.  Plus the AECOM Consultant asked the residents loaded questions, manipulated and spun the data and played with the definitions to favour a higher level of urbanization against the overwhelming wishes of the community (one questions why?)  And since the Township of Langley staff didn't adequately notify and inform the residents of Brookswood/Fernridge about the impending and ongoing OCP process.  Since certain members of council have shown, and still show, an unhealthy interest in the OCP alteration and seem to favour the developers and land owners who will benefit most from this plan...

Since all of the above plus bias and conflict of interest has occurred, this plan and the process used to create THE PLAN is TAINTED and the entire document results and data should be scrapped.

 Also this plan HAS JUST BEEN DEFEATED.  There were strong reasons for that. 

I know you want to regurgitate the existing plan and use it, but it should not be attempted.
