The Mayor and Council will hold a special meeting next Friday to listen to pitches from local organizations and stakeholder groups during their budget deliberations.  That’ll be January 20 at Council Chambers beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Organizations and community groups must pre-register by contacting the Clerk’s Office by Tuesday, January 17 at 4:00 p.m.  Online surveys for residents will begin next week on what you would like to see in the city budget.

CBRM has ordered Sylvia Dolomont’s house to be demolished in North Sydney.

Dolomont admits she is a hoarder and the house on Campbell Street is stuffed to the rafters with furniture, clothing and household items, so much so she can’t even live there anymore; according to the CBC.  But the city says it’s also full of rotting garbage, animal waste and mould; so it’s been declared a hazard and will be torn down.

Dolomont has been given 30 days to clean it out or it’ll be demolished. She says she’ll sue…the house is appraised at $186,000.
