As everybody knows, our neighbouring town, Daniel's Harbour, had a massive landslide in 2006-7. They had to relocate 23 homes, plus seven homes and one business. One home fell into the ocean. That was a big expense. When they moved the road, that cut into the businesses; they lost the traffic that was supporting the businesses.
You cannot bypass Parson's Pond. The pond runs right to the ocean, so protecting us is the only option. It's a safety concern. We don't want to move. We don't need to move if our land is protected. There's no extra expense. There's no side road that government has to maintain or anything. The road runs right through us, so the road needs to be maintained anyway. It just makes sense to give us our safety. That's all we're asking for.
