Netherwood Plaza Site

It’s been 3 1/2 years since Netherwood Plaza was demolished. Shortly after it was discovered that a former dry cleaning shop had dumped toxic chemicals behind the unit, necessitating extensive remediation to the soil supervised by the Ministry of the Environment.

Whereas the City’s by-laws mandate safety fencing and weed control, there is nothing that can force an owner to put up hoarding that blocks the view of an ugly site.

The owner intended to build 26 attractive semi-detached homes and a corner convenience store.

Malton Community Police Station Opens!

Residents were greatly disappointed when former Chief Evans decided to close the Community Police Station at Westwood Square for budget reasons.  The relative isolation of the Malton Community, the more than 20 minute drive to the police divisions that served Malton, all combined to increase the crime rates over the 18 months that the station was closed.

The community got organized. A small group of residents, organized by Angie Munnick and Ann Barkley worked hard to collect over 3500 signatures on a petition asking for not only the reopening of the Community Station,
