Durham Splits Planning and Development In an effort to improve industrial land sales in the region, Durham council voted last week to separate the offices of planning and development. The decision came as a result of discussions at a closed session of council. Oshawa Mayor Jim Potticary has recently criticized the way the region's development office has handled industrial land sales. His criticism may have touched off council's decision to separate planning and development. The new director of develop- ment for Durham will be independent of the region's planning department, report- ing directly to council through Chairman Walter Beath. Mayor Potticary said the resignation of Bob Nicol, regional development director, brought the situation to the forefront. Mr. Nicol said he resigned as development director because of health reasons, not because of any conflicts with Mayor Potticary. The planning department will remain under Planning Commissioner William McAdams. Mr. McAdams will report to council through the planning committee, chaired by Pickering Mayor Jack Anderson. The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. September 13, 1978 5 Candidate Hopes to Boost Bowmanville Boosting Bowmanville will be one of the major aims of the town's newest candidate for the position of regional councillor. Dick Broadbent told the Statesman last week that he wants to encourage the development of industries and commercial projects in Bowmanville. Mr. Broadbent is a resident of Rosalynne Ave. and a newcomer to municipal politics. He is making bis first bid for a council position although he has worked previously on federal election campaigns. He will be runmng against incumbent councillor Don Allin and former Bowmanville mayor Ivan Hobbs for the regional council seat. Regional councillors also sit on the local Newcastle council. "Oshawa isn't the only place for industry in the Durham Region," Mr. Broadbent said. He added that he believes Bowmanville should "stand on its own two feet" in terms of industrial and commercial development. The candidate said that by attracting industry to the town, young people will have a chance to live in the community and work here rather than moving away or commuting to employment outside the town. Mr. Broadbent said Bowmanville bas many things to offer industry. These include good transportation, cheap land an a labor force. He suggested that industrial develop- ment need not be large. A beehive of small, clean industries would be desirable. The candidate added that to him, boosting Bowmanville means patronizing local businesses and encouraging commercial enter- prises here. He said the town has seen six years of intense residential growth and believes now is the time for industry and commerce to develop. Mr. Broadbent is 41 years old and has lived in Bowmanville or Oshawa all his life. He moved to Bowman- ville two years ago and also lived here during his childhood. He is married, with two children aged 5½ and four. His hobbies include golf, skiing, horseback riding, bridge, hunting and fishing.
