Scotland's High Taxes Drive Residents to English Cities

Côte St. Luc's council has decided against placing a new Public Safety station on designated parkland, responding to community concerns voiced during a consultation meeting. Mayor Mitchell Brownstein emphasized the importance of preserving the area as parkland, while residents expressed support for a station that could improve emergency response times. The potential new site for the station remains under consideration, with suggestions including a community garden or other locations between Mackle and Cavendish. This decision reflects a broader trend where community input is increasingly shaping urban planning in Côte St. Luc. Councillor Mike Cohen expressed satisfaction with the council's decision, having opposed the original proposal from the start.
