Town of Battleford targeting unsightly properties
The Town of Battleford’s bylaw enforcement officer has been on a mission recently to ensure local property owners clean up their unsightly properties.
Special constable Geoff Thompson, who is also the town’s deputy fire chief, gave a report to council at its meeting Aug. 14 with an update on the issue.
The town sent a total of 20 orders to property owners in July to force them to tidy up their properties, after discovering a number of residences with messy premises.
People have 10 days to clean up their properties after they receive an order by registered mail.
