A problematic property in South Surrey is causing concern for many of its neighbours.
Located near 32 Avenue and 196 Street, the vacant property has reportedly, turned into an illegal dumping ground of sorts and has also, been the site of multiple fires.
At a press conference Thursday (April 23), Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke was asked about the site.
“I did check into that. We have had several calls from neighbours in that area. It is a major concern. I do believe it’s five calls that have been addressed by our bylaw department,” Locke said at the presser.
She said the city is aware and working to address the issue.
”It’s something we’re addressing all the time with that vacant property. I spoke with our general manager of public safety to make sure they get out there and address what’s going on in that community.”
The most recent complaint about the property was on Wednesday (April 22), about a recent fire and dumped materials, the city confirmed in an email.
