Activities within the town need to be controlled better, and that’s prompted Paul Revell to seek a seat on Caledon council.
Revell registered last Thursday to run for the area seat in Ward 1.
This is his first time running for elected office, and Revell said there are a number of things that need to be controlled better. “It seems to me as though council is not listening to the Citizens, which of course is a requirement,” he said.
A Chartered Professional Accountant, Revell said some of the issues that need to be addressed include proposals to have recycling in aggregate pits, new developments that might have limited water and waste water servicing and the difficulties some people have with long approval processes, which he said is sometimes “excessive.”
Revell also cited the recent discussions regarding the proposed parking lot near the Cheltenham Badlands. He said the issue hadn’t been thought through, adding it was a similar case with the plans Peel Region has put forth for roads in Belfountain. He argued if the process was more open, it could have been dealt with before it became an issue.
He is also a member of PitSense, which he said aims to make sure aggregate pits make sense and are well thought out.
Revell seems pretty confident about his chances in the election.
“I think they’re extremely good,” he said. “I have an excellent track record for solving problems and dealing with issues and dealing with people.”
