Dear Editor,
Well, I guess it’s not hard to guess what kind of neighbours Sunwing by way of Windward Roads are going to be. Its 7:00am on a Sunday morning, and my house is shaking because the demolition of the old Great Bay Hotel is going on unabated. As much as I hate to do it because of the waste and aggravation, I suppose it's time to get the lawyers involved and try to make some order out of the chaos. Find out just what the permits for the demolition allow; what the building plans look like; and how high they intend to build, so we can get the objections and injunctions in early before it's too late.
It's a difficult question. They have spent their money and have the right to build what they want within the local ordinances if any exist or are enforced. That's their right. But what of the rights of the neighbours to enjoy a reasonable and peaceful existence? Where is the fundamental; respect that a corporation that supposedly enjoys a good reputation is supposed to have for the local community? And foremost, what of the rights of the people that live here?
Long gone, it would seem.
Steven Johnson
