Dear Editor:
Re: Plans for artificial soccer fields likely to be deferred by DNV council
I honestly don’t know why I need to write this letter. This project has been delayed over and over again and it actually is beyond ridiculous. We have the lowest amount of soccer turf in municipalities in the Lower Mainland [on a field-per-player basis] yet we have more than 5,000 kids playing soccer and 1,000 adults.
The council has approved I don’t know how many development projects in and around Seymour and Dollarton only worsening traffic, and yet you still have not built a turf field in our area. I’m tired of driving all over the district when I could be reducing traffic congestion, if only you would build what you promised years ago.
I’m tired of getting emails from parents whose kids are getting sick from playing on gravel fields which are either too dusty, causing breathing issues, or too muddy, causing injuries.
I pay my taxes each year, my neighbours pay theirs, we have honoured our commitment to you. It’s timed you honoured your commitment to us.
Build that field.
