LEAMINGTON — While Leamington Councillor Tim Wilkinson’s idea of allowing golf carts on municipal roadways was shot down last month, his suggestion has spawned a new idea for council to consider.

one of the main concerns about the previous golf cart idea. They LSVs are designed to be driven in areas where the speed limit is 50 kph or less, but will max out at 40 kph. “I hope that council in the near future considers eco-friendly alternative transportation,” said Wilkinson. He said that communi-
ties such as Grand Bend and Lambton Shores are already employing them and asked if Mayor Hilda MacDonald could reach out to her counterpart in those areas to get a comparison. The vehicles typically cost anywhere between $15K-$25K and can carry a wide range of passengers. The LSVs may come in handy during large events such as Hogs for Hospice, concert nights or festivals near the waterfront.

Disaster fund delivers $80,000 to evacuees
WHEATLEY — On September 27, the Wheatley Disaster Relief Fund was able to give out cheques totalling $80,000 to residents directly affected by the August 26 explosion. Lauren Anderson announced on Facebook that they were aiming for a $60,000 total, but ended up releasing $80,000 to needy families. Families in need are required to fill out the proper forms so that they can be qualified by those in charge. Elsewhere, a t-shirt drive has raised $1,750 toward the Relief Fund. Julia Ottley, who now lives over three hours away, began her quest six weeks ago to help in any way she could. She was quickly able to surpass her goal of selling 100 shirts.
