What\u2019s the emergency? Did you forget how to manage your time, or do you just enjoy driving like a complete clown? Riding someone\u2019s bumper and weaving through traffic doesn\u2019t make you important. it makes you reckless and obnoxious. Grow up and learn how to drive properly before you hurt someone.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Rotten Tomatoes for the Surrey development department for allowing three-storey single-family homes. Not just a basement and two storeys but three storeys stories above ground. This is a complete monstrosity with respect to the neighbours. Moreover, such homes have at least 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms but a two-car garage that is full of household junk after moving in and 10 cars parked on the street. This city has become absolutely hideous in terms of development. Highrises everywhere you look, no infrastructure, no schools, no hospitals, just monstrous houses and garbage everywhere. The solution is not to turn a blind eye to everything, but to demand that the administration of this city behave with respect for its residents, the administration that is paid for with our money. It\u2019s time to elect responsible city leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Rotten Tomatoes to whoever scattered reflective foil all around and in the duck pond at Hawthorne Park. This will kill the wildlife. Keep your celebration\u2019s confetti inside where it will not damage the wildlife. Pick up your discarded balloons as it is also a hazard to wildlife. Parents, educate yourself with what can and cannot be done in our parks, they are a privilege that taxpayers work hard to pay for. The landscape staff at this park work very hard to make you enjoy what they have done.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Rotten Tomatoes to the person who wrote to this column stating the seniors\u2019 rate at Surrey Parks and Recreation starts at age 70 for not doing their research. It actually starts at age 60 and is comparable to the student rate, which is normal. Then at age 70, seniors get an additional discount! They probably just got angry at a front desk or on the phone, got mad at an employee and then complained to this newspaper. The Rotten Tomatoes can be shared by the Surrey Now-Leader for posting this information.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Yes, again, Rotten Tomatoes to City of Surrey for two rates of seniors prices to attend recreation programs. The City of Surrey does not give seniors another discount on their property taxes at age 70.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Rotten Tomatoes to the NDP for cancelling the much-needed housing for the poor in Surrey. Roses for our Mayor Locke for calling out the NDP for cancelling housing in Surrey.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Roses to all the pharmacies and restaurants who have specials for seniors 55 and above.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Roses: I will vote for the next person running for mayor in Surrey who will follow Langley\u2019s rules for parking all large vehicles. Some subdivisions are over loaded with mega trucks.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 I would love to return the Rotten Tomatoes to the person who posted about Stage 2 water restrictions. Perhaps it would help to read what is actually permitted under the restrictions. Under Surrey\u2019s Stage 2 water restrictions, you may wash or pressure wash outdoor surfaces at any day and any time using a handheld hose or pressure washer. You may also continue to water trees and shrubs after 9 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>Send your Roses and Rotten Tomatoes to newsroom@surreynowleader.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ROSES AND ROTTEN TOMATOES: Tomatoes to Surrey\u2019s \u2018maniac\u2019 drivers Published 7:00 am Sunday, June 7, 2026 \u2022 Rotten&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":721233,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-721232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=721232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721232\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/721233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=721232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=721232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=721232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
