Landscaped entrances The town’s site plan committee has been directed to address land- scaping concerns related to entranceways to Halton Hills. Councillor Marilyn Serjeantson raised the issue, telling council she was “really upset” by the “walled entrances” into Georgetown. She was referring to noise barrier fences in Georgetown South and along Highway 7 near Trafalgar Road. Serjeantson said the entrance- ways don’t help enhance the town’s image because there aren’t enough trees or landscaping amenities to make the entrances look attractive. She offered to serve as a one-per- son committee to look at the prob- lem and report back to council. Rather than set up another com- mittee, council decided site plan committee could be directed to deal with Serjeantson’s concerns, ” Meeting slated for May 10 A public meeting about water supply in Halton Hills, focusing on water-taking constraints on Prospect Park Well in Acton, will be held at 5 p.m., May 10, in coun- cil chambers, Halton Hills Civic Centre.
