* Paul Van Meerbergen is running for reelection. He did not meet with us, but sent an email saying that he endorses the goals of Greenspace Alliance. He voted to retain River Road when the issue first came up. He agrees that closing River Road Golf Course and allowing that asset to lose its value through neglect was “a big mistake”.

Ward 4 City Council Candidate Susan Stevenson Meets With Greenspace Alliance

I met with Susan Stevenson, a candidate for London City Council in Ward 4.

Susan is Certified Public Accountant and has an extensive business background. She is focused on insuring financial and fiscal responsibility in city hall government.

Susan expressed enthusiasm for strengthening London’s greenspace. She conveyed herself as a strong supporter of growing London’s tree canopy. She appeared keen to redress the injustice that she said had been done to Ward 1 through the closing of River Road Golf Course.

I liked Susan. Her manner was positive, yet down-to-earth. I look forward to hearing more from her and her campaign for the City Council seat in Ward 4.
