Bill Vogel has lived in 91原创 鈥渙n and off鈥� for 60 years.
鈥淪omething keeps pulling me back,鈥� he told Township council on May 7.
Vogel has settled here now, because 鈥淚 had decided that 91原创 is a wonderful place to live.鈥�
But there is an aspect of living in 91原创 that Vogel, a former Surrey mayor and councillor, finds unappealing, and that is noise created by 鈥渁 small but obnoxious minority鈥� who operate noisy vehicles.
Vogel said that as a taxpayer and active community member 鈥淚 am wanting to bring an issue that has caused me loss of enjoyment of my property, and I am sure there are many others in the community who also lose sleep on many occasions due to this ongoing situation.鈥�
The noise bylaw is not being enforced, he was advised, and RCMP informed him that not a single ticket was issued for vehicle noise infractions in 2011.
Vogel said that RCMP advised him that the issue is not a priority.
Council referred his concerns to staff who will explore Vogel鈥檚 suggestion that the AirCare program be adapted to target noisy engines.
