On today’s show, representatives from a new housing cooperative planned for Fairfield Road came to Tantramar council chambers on Tuesday to give an update on their plans, and ask for some help. The Freshwinds Housing Coop is waiting on a housing needs assessment from the Southeast Regional Service Commission, which is governed by a board made up of mayors from municipalities including Tantramar.
In other council news, council approved the repeal of a bylaw that allowed retail stores in Sackville to open on Sundays, though the intention of the repeal seems to have been the opposite, to remove restrictions for local retail businesses.
And Dorchester councillor Debbie Wiggins-Colwell is calling attention to a recent medical emergency in the village where the local fire department was not dispatched until a private resident made a call directly to the station.
