The issues included the following: rates and taxes increase, water (leaking), sewage (spills and new mainline), electricity (street lights), corruption, roads, municipal bylaws, illegal buildings, etc.

The Mayor accepted the memo and ‘promised’ to have the answers ready within 14 days.

More than 200 citizens attended the march.
