Robinson has been at the forefront to end a squabble between landowners that has resulted in a fence blocking off a portion of the Bronte Village Mall parking lot. "Despite being a privately-owned land area, I will continue to engage the mall landowners to resolve their issues and re-focus on the significance of the impact development of this mall will have to our local community," he said.
