Dear Editor,
As a motorist traversing the David Street/Sheriff Street area, I have observed the ongoing construction of a massive new wooden structure being erected at the confluence of those two streets where the Kitty Abattoir was once situated.
Thinking that it was a new Abattoir being constructed to supplement the dilapidated one in Water Street, I stopped to chat with the construction crew. I was told that it was now private property and a private structure. I was disheartened and confused to say the least.
How could the Council divest the city of this property without consulting the residents of Kitty? Is this another Bel Air Park or Subryanville playfield heist? How much did the city earn from this transaction? Who authorised the divestment.
Why did the Public Relations Officer of the Council, who is always in the press propagating a lot of piffle about what is going on at City Hall and trying to represent errant officials there, not tell the residents of Kitty of what is going on in their ward?
I am publicly appealing to the Councillor which represents the constituency of the Kitty ward to openly inform the citizenry of what is going on there. Will the residents of Kitty now have to approach the courts to stop this illegality?
Sincerely,
Sean Levius
