Hopefully there will be more consultation this time, and our traffic staff will attend on site with Canada Post to assist in the process. But no contact has been made to date." Mayor Rick Bonnette pointed out while Canada Post is responsible for cleaning up the litter and shoveling the snow around these community boxes, it's often the Town that gets the com- plaints and has to do the cleaning up. "At the end of the day, this will be just like another download," the mayor said. "It does concern me that we are going to have a lot more of these. I have had many complaints in the past throughout the town about the state of the some of these mailboxes." Bonnette is also envisioning future neighbour disputes, "because not ev- eryone will want a mailbox put in front of their house. ... This is something that's going to be a challenge for sure." Councillor Jane Fogal suggested this could be an issue for Somerville, who serves as the third vice-president on the board of the Federation of Cana- dian Municipalities (FCM). "Already on it," Somerville replied, adding FCM has requested a meeting with MP Lisa Raitt of Milton, the inis- ter in charge of Canada Post to discuss it, especially its impact on seniors, ac- cessibility and northern remote com- munities. Halton Police were called to Tenth Line south of Five Sideroad about 2 p.m. Monday because a fuel truck had left the road, entered the ditch, struck a hydro pole and rolled over causing a large amount of furnace oil to spill. The truck was travelling northbound on Tenth Line. The driver suffered minor injuries and was transported to Credit Valley Hospital. Halton Hills Fire Department, Hal- ton Hills Hydro, Halton Police Ser- vice's Commercial Motor Vehicle Unit and the Ministry of the Environment also responded. Halton Hills Fire Department Haz- ardous Materials team contained the leak to the immediate area, which was cleaned up by Accuworx from Bramp- ton. Tenth Line between Five Sideroad and Steeles Ave. was closed for several hours.
