The Mayor and Council , Town of View Royal :
I wish to vehemently oppose any move to increase the number of council seats until this proposal appears on a ballot.
It should be noted that ratepayers are faced with a heavy burden already.
Frankly, many people regard View Royal as a vexatious bottleneck on the way in and out of Victoria., a bedroom community which, if merged with Esquimalt, would have no need of a Mayor and Council at all.
Adding more counsellors reinforces my view that amalgamation is inevitable.
