Henderson Road

Jean Brown | Feb 01, 2023

Dear Editor:  I implore the Central Frontenac Council to do the Henderson Rd. Re-surfacing project in this year 2023, since it has been shifted and deferred for far too long. Our rate of taxation is 40% higher than that of our neighbours in North Frontenac with whom we have an affinity. We are frustrated with excessive amounts of taxation money being funnelled into the Sharbot Lake area and also add that it’s just a matter of time until Sharbot Lake will need a municipal septic and water system that will no doubt cancel out our road needs once again. We are not receiving value for our excessive taxes. Is there a solution? I wonder if the entire number of employees in Central Frontenac might donate back some of their salaries to help us poor folks out. I love to buy groceries in Sharbot Lake and shop there, and mean no malice with this letter- but we’ve reached our breaking point and so have our cars as they bounce  over the pot holes. We do love the road crews and they are doing fantastically but they can’t re-build the roads. Councillors Kelsey and Klagges are super duper  but their hands are tied. This is a terrible situation- please act. At the very least put a moratorium on any further developments in Sharbot Lake area.

Your poor cousin and reporter in Henderson
