Putting Council Size Under the Microscope

Time is running out for local residents to have their say on the question of council size. 

Chatham Councillor Doug Sulman is proposing to add a YES/NO question to next fall’s election ballot: “Effective the term of council beginning December 2022, the number of councillors in Chatham-Kent be reduced.”

A special meeting is being held in council chambers next Monday at 4pm with deputations from the public — pre-registration is not required.

This the only opportunity for residents to have their say on the issue.

If you can’t make the meeting, you can add your input at www.letstalkchatham-kent.ca.

If there isn’t enough public support to continue the discussion after Monday, the issue will be dropped.
