The soaring population of Strathroy & MC reflects London's fast growth.

It will require some major investments from the areas including a twinning of road between Commissioners and the 402, a commuter bus system, and a major new high school.

The latter is key and already overdue. SDCI is already at capacity and the town is growing fast. Much of this is due to the huge area that SDCI caters to. A high school in Komoka would not only serve Kom/Kil but also Delaware and Mt.Brydges. As it stands right now, Kilworth, in the older part of the village, kids still go to Westmount. Such a school would bring a needed would greatly reduce the overcrowding at SDCI.

Still need to complete the ground level steel rebar and concrete pour on the underground parking on the south side of building. The tower crane base hole has to be completed once it is removed as well. This will complete the concrete work on the Mosiak building.

Nimbyism runs rampant at Planning Committee yesterday. At least the committee voted to move these proposals ahead to future council meeting.

Wow most of those arguments are pretty terrible, if you are going to show up to a planning meeting to oppose a development at least take the time to research the matter and prepare a valid argument.

The development at Commissioners/Viscount will "endanger our property and our lives" wow that is dramatic. The commercial businesses and multiple apartments directly across the street are okay though?
