City staff oppose Westmount bid for office development, favour downtown
LondonFreePress
31If the city keeps pushing this CARFAX will just build in St.Thomas. Like the Arthur Voaden school site, which is now available.
It’s fix downtown and people will come. Not, more people will fix downtown.

Pride flag stolen, flagpole cut down at Ingersoll school: OPP
LondonFreePress 4Seems like a lot of work just to get a Pride flag. Hope the four of them agreed on how to share it before stealing it.

City staff oppose Westmount bid for office development, favour downtown
LondonFreePress 27If you think "Wonderland Road is pretty busy", wait until 800 people are trying to drive to and park (expensively) downtown.

Decision delayed on Westmount mall office expansion proposal
LondonFreePress 19Forcing office workers is not going to save downtown. The 800 CARFAX people are going to arrive and go into the building in the morning. Them leave at the end of the day. A small number will go out for lunch, and a few might go out after work. So at best this helps restaurants limp along.
Downtown, once it's cleaned up, needs something like store front businesses to draw shoppers downtown. Lower the rents, or offer incentives to entrepreneurs to open up shops. This will bring foot traffic to downtown better than office workers.

No balconies, 21 parking spaces in London 1,004-unit proposal
LondonFreePress 13"development firm is betting renters will" not need parking. That would be a good thing to some sort of market survey prior to building.
Perhaps they concluded all those homeless people around London pushing their belongings in shopping carts don't have a car, but need a home.
Problem solved. /s

LondonFreePress 6Elbows UP is not about blaming Conservatives. It's about patriotism. You seem to lack it and are bent on blaming Liberals for everything. The recent fast fall world wide has not been an evil 11 year plan. It's Trump's disruptive execute orders cause global repercussions. And stock market manipulation to increase the wealth of his wealthy friends.

Pride time! What to know about London's LGBTQ festival as parade hits milestone
LondonFreePress 1It’s in July in London due to scheduling as June is already very busy with all the straight festivals
And because of how many other pride festivals are happening around the province during June.
Putting in July is both better for scheduling and will draw more people.
You are not required to attend any of these events

Pride time! What to know about London's LGBTQ festival as parade hits milestone
LondonFreePress 3Nothing stopping you from requesting one. To get a crosswalk designated for veterans, contact your local Legion Branch or City Hall to discuss the feasibility and design options for a commemorative crosswalk. They can provide guidance on the necessary steps and approvals needed for installation.

LondonFreePress 6All too true. Youth today know they've got it soft. In school there are no consequences for late assignments. Everyone gets an award - even for just 'participating' (being present). No one fails - because it might hurt their self-esteem. So there are students moving thru the system without actually needing to learn. Eventually leading some to realize crime can pay, because it's anonymous.

Strathroy mom fights boundary keeping sons from nearby school
LondonFreePress 9Where does it say the TVDSB will re-evaluate the boundaries? It rarely changes the boundaries unless there is a new or closed school.

Thames Valley projects $22.1M deficit, union warns of larger classes
LondonFreePress 7TVDSB can’t have both “rising enrolment” and “ Overall enrolment is projected to decline by 2,760 students in 2026-27”
Also, doesn’t the board submit its budget to the ministry, who then decides whether to fund it all. What parts is the ministry not funding? Are those things not within the school board’s mandate, perhaps?

LondonFreePress 6Well, Doug Payne, the American people got the representative they elected. Even though it was not quite the majority of citizens, there isn’t much of a backlash.
